Reversal of Fortune
Posted: Mon 20 March, 2006 Filed under: Thoughts, Weirdness 2 Comments »OK, picture this scenario…
You’re driving in a carpark, and have just gone over a (slightly) raised walkway when you realise there’s a parking space behind you (back over that walkway). Do you…
- Ignore it, drive forwards, and park in the free spot that’s about three car-lengths in front of you (although in fairness you haven’t spotted this one yet, as you’re so focussed on the one behind you)
- Check the mirror, and drive backwards slowly, checking for pedestrians on the walkway or
- Slam the car into reverse, and go backwards as fast as possible without checking for anything at all, and not even looking in the mirror
Knobby today, of course, did c) . So I slapped the back of his car with my hand, to let him know I was there, and not quite prepared to be run over. The dumb fuckwad hadn’t even seen me.
Mind you, the look of shock on his face when he realised was really quite amusing…
Hello, Claims Direct?
Someone did something similar on Deansgate the other day, except they were going forwards, over a pelican crossing on a red light. I don’t *think* I left a dent in his bonnet where I punched it, but I wouldn’t swear to it. I may also have called him a cunt, because he deserved it.
