Car owning idiocy thread ×341

[oldwheels]

User9609 I thought truck drivers were better trained nowadays. I learned to reverse trailers working on farms. When I became a distiller artics were fairly new and lots could not reverse into our unloading bay. I used to often offer to take over a large artic which I managed no bother on condition I never told their boss.

But shouldn't you tell someone that they can't drive properly?

How many motorists does it take to change a light bulb?

Don't know. Can't get the buggers to stop!

They could not park close enough to B&Q to get a replacement bulb, so they just sit in the dark.

And they wouldn't realise there was a bulb gone for 6 months

urs have a driveway big enough for two cars. They have a huge garage, big enough for two cars. They have two cars. Both cars are permanently parked on the pavement, one outside their house and the other in front of mine. Fark knows why

Bit of an old thread resurrection here but I'm pissing myself laughing.

I've just watched DVLA guy clamping one of the aforementioned neighbour's vehicles .

Having checked his reg number, it appears he's been using it untaxed since the end of October last year!
What a farkin idiot. Bet he's wishing he'd parked it on his driveway now.

 

[glasgowcyclist]

He's just back from the school run in their other car and he somehow hasn't clocked the clamp yet. If he looks out of his living room window he can't miss it, I wonder when he'll spot it?

I've actually paused Homeland for this...

 

[glasgowcyclist]

Oh, I think they've spotted it now - doors are being slammed and there's lots of shouting bewteen him and her now.

 

[glasgowcyclist]

Oops, big front door slam and she's gone storming off down the street.
He left a few minutes later to go to the clamped car. He's pulled the notice off the window and is doing a Basil Fawlty with it, now kicking the clamp.

Youtube opportunity?

 

[LCpl Boiled Egg]

To be honest, it sounds better than Homeland.

 

[glasgowcyclist]

Youtube opportunity?

Could've been but I like my privacy.

All quiet now anyway. He's got 24 hours to cough up the back tax, current tax plus £100 release fee.

Never mind Homeland, that's the plot of the new season of 24...

He must've paid the necessary fees as the car was gone when I got up and is now showing as taxed.
But the VED on their other car runs out at the end of this month so I might get some more entertainment soon.

Bit hard to know, now discs no longer exist.
