I worked for a indy shop owner that would "fire" his customers when they tried to get something for nothing and were generally never happy and complained about everything. It was awesome. The looks on their faces when he told them he didn't want their business was priceless.

I work at a beach resort. I can't count how many times someone has gotten a flat tire, dead battery, keys locked in the car, etc. They come to the front desk freaking out asking for help, and the front desk calls me. One of the first things I ask is "do you have AAA or any type of roadside assistance?" and 9 times out of ten they do and didn't even know it or forgot they had it. What loving good is it if you're too stupid to remember you even have it?

Geoj posted:The stupidity of ricers never ceases to amaze me. Who the gently caress not only chases someone down for flashing their highbeams, but then proceeds to follow someone onto private property to defend their early-2000s Kia's honor? The same kinda guy that would pull out a gun a shoot your rear end too. You never know these days and gotta be careful who you start road rage arguments with.

xzzy posted:I rode with a guy one time who would properly signal when approaching a turn lane, get into the lane and roll to a stop at the light, and once stopped would manually shut off his blinker because he didn't like the noise. Why do you need to signal when you're in a left turn lane waiting for a green arrow? There's no point, really.

I'm talking about sitting at an intersection waiting for a green arrow to turn left, the oncoming lane and everyone in front/behind you would be doing the exact same thing. There is no oncoming traffic. Sorry, I just don't see the point of sitting still in the left turn lane waiting for the left turn light with your left turn signal on when everyone else knows you're turning left.

Geirskogul posted:The long and short of it, though, that if you're not using your turn signal then you're a dumbass. Yes, even at an arrow. Bite me. I'm just giving my opinion, if you don't agree that's fine, but if you want to start name calling and insulting over something so god drat trivial you can go gently caress yourself. Wherever you like, even at an arrow.

InitialDave posted:I live it when people get wound up that I won't go when waved out, completely ignoring that they are on the inside lane of a dual carriageway, and the outer lane is 1) not properly visible from my position 2) still moving along even though their lane is stationary. I've seen lots of accidents because of this, and I just ignore people when they do it to me. Honestly, it should be a moving violation, and If I was a cop I'd ticket the gently caress out of people for doing it.

The guy that posted the video said he was alive but in ICU. It's in Tampa right at the beginning of a huge freeway project they are working on now, you have to be paying attention 110% driving through it and obviously the jeep driver wasn't, probably on his phone I'm sure.

kastein posted:The other problem is that this is a zero sum game, if everyone obeyed that rule, life would be grand. Except no one does, because everyone is a self absorbed rear end in a top hat and me-firsts in front of you even if you're following far too closely by the rules. The 3-5 second rule and all other following distance rules are a great way to end up being a rolling roadblock doing 15 under the speed of traffic in the right lane as everyone passes you and cuts you off. But research and internet so you're wrong Yeah if I did that in Tampa I'd get shot at for sure, so 3/4 of a second it is!

StormDrain posted:It's weird to me they didn't try to terminate those jersey barriers by running them tangent to and dying into the existing barrier, so that they just meet. Then the driver, rather than hitting something straight on would have ricocheted off back into his lane, probably into the next lane, but certainly maintaining good speed. That's what I thought too, but I'm guessing they've tried that before and it didn't work as well. Maybe they concluded that making the car come to a dead stop is better than flinging it across three or four lanes of traffic? I dunno. Obviously it didn't work that well in this situation, still sending the car into traffic and starting a chain reaction across the lanes.

My dumbass brother did that while I was towing a CRX behind another car. He was in the CRX and for some retarded reason decided to take the key out of the ignition and the wheel locked up on him. Luckily it was a three lane road and no one else was near us at the time, could have ended up badly.

I can speak from experience working in security that at a certain point there is no de escalating a situation, and you're pretty much on your own until the cops get there which can take forever. I wouldn't have tried to pass the guy, but if he still stopped in front of me like that and got out of his car I would have ran his rear end over out of fear of what he was planning on doing. Yelling I WILL KILL YOU is not over the top in that situation either because you have no idea what the intentions of that guy was, and you can't really show any kind of weakness at that point so I don't blame him for being loud and threatening because you absolutely cannot submit in that situation. I would have never played the brake check game, but who knows what that guy was planning on doing, he stopped in the middle of a loving interstate so at that point I'm going to assume he's insane and has nothing to lose.

My clueless father and his wife complained to my brother that the car he gave his 17yr old daughter was too unsafe for her to be driving and she needs a newer car. It's a mint '96 Camry that I sold to him then he passed on to her, it will run forever and is good reliable transportation, but lets go ahead and make the child think her father gave her an unsafe piece of poo poo! When we told them to go ahead and buy her a new car if they're so concerned about it they never said another word about it of course.

Flint Ironstag posted:I had an E250 come in for check engine light on, loss of power diagnosis a while back. Random company owned work vehicle. The codes showed "running rich" and it would barely accelerate above 2000 rpm. Their air filter was completely clogged, and I do mean clogged, like I have rarely seen in all my years working on all types of machines. But, the easiest, and cheapest fix of all, for a van that ran that poorly. You would think the company would be happy to get it back so cheaply. So they paid $75 for a diagnosis but wouldn't pay $10 for a loving air filter? If they didn't want it fixed why did they even bring it in? Christ people are stupid.
