Things that irritate you - Part 2

[Creag]

Cable theft - or at least, that's what we are told it is. Load shedding or reduction by a different name.

/sigh

Because I confused it with this thread. Idiots.

Will stick to the brand I know rather.

Something up with drivers on Saturday. Everyone second person was a nut case. Saw 4 people running red lights (and they weren't even taxi's). Had to stop for a car that tried to turn in front of me. And that car passed the car in front of them at the stop street

Then while pulling out of a car park a car stopped and told us to stop being so rude. WTF? He had obviously had a few dops. As well as the other 4 youngsters in the car. My fok.

Speaking of which, lady in a VW Polo (looked like a new car as well) cut the queue behind me, when she could not pass me she gestured the why? at me. And it was a single lane (onramp) anyway.

I just ignored her. She will make an accident sooner or later the way she was driving. Not my problem.

And people just seem to ignore traffic lights en masse these days.

Same thing each morning on the way to the office. Two stop streets in particular. The guys don't even slow down as if there isn't even a stop sign

LPT : when first at a traffic light intersection, and you get the green light, DO check for traffic on the red lights if somebody decided to gun it and run the red.

A few seconds may save your life, your car, and your finances.

People coming from the traffic circle just ignore the red traffic light and turn left into the R55 to the highway, giving people coming from Marais ave (Mall@55 side) absolutely no chance to turn right on the R55 to the highway.

Fun. I expect a serious case of road rage to happen sooner or later.

Why do all need to be replaced?

SSDs wear out with use over time, not like your traditional HDD.

Look, I dunno your circumstances, but turn left on red is something this country needs.

Ah right, something they tend to forget I guess.

I have to agree, but at least give traffic on the other side a chance, don't hog the intersection when they have got the green arrow (and right of way).

True, saffa's cannot comprehend a yield sign, which is what a turn left on red would be.

predictors? Like letting them know how targeted ads work?

More about teaching them not to chat online to anyone that they do not know personally.
