^^^ agree totally, surely if they worked days and nights, even accounting for shift allowance etc it would work out cheaper overall and provide far less frustration for the poor bastards trying to use the damn motorways?

I'm thinking of spraying my car a different colour, people just don't see silver. As much as I have a laugh and jokingly rant about it, I really don't want to have a crash in the 5, not exactly 5 star NCAP.
I think any colour would stand out more, might even go for a naughty purple.
Had a Range Rover almost run me off the road while he was overtaking a cyclist coming towards me last weekend, I stuck my hand out the window like yo man what do? As he went passed I swear he was staring at the cyclist in the rear view mirror and didn't even see me, bellend.

People are utter 'tards. Fact.
If you need to save up for a respray, you could get a signwriter place to make a nice and obvious stripe or two of a really bright colour made up in the meantime?
Either that or stick a picture of a massive pair of breasts on your bonnet - should get most people's attention... lol

And for a mini-rant from me...
... perhaps the 40-ton HGV that basically did everything but physically push me onto the hard shoulder himself might like to stop bullying small cars into driving on the hard shoulder because he can't possibly lift 1/8th of an inch off the throttle to let the truck overtaking him pass while still maintaining momentum??

Bad HGV drivers are terrifying, the potential damage is immense.
Also won't be saving up for a pro job, I'll be spraying it myself haha. Parking in Central Brighton some noblord will just damage it anyway. Some bell poured milkshake over my soft top a few weeks ago haha.

It was one of the few times that a camera would have been useful!
I hear what you're saying on the paint job - I don't know why people feel the need to destroy what others have worked hard for, grrr.

As a pedestrain one thing I really hate is when people go across traffic light crossroads when the exit is blocked.
Light's green foot down, oh wait nowhere to go. Light goes red, I start to walk, they get all pissy with me because they're still stuck right over the crossing. Bellends.

Big guy in a big suit CRASHES IN THE SEAT NEXT TO ME, FUMBLES AROUND IN HIS BAG, MOVES IT VERY ANGRILY AROUND UNTIL APPARENTLY THE SMALL BAG SUITCASE THING IS COMFORTABLE, BREATHES HEAVY AND ATTEMPTS TO GET HIS PHONE OUT, ALL WHILE ME AND THE GUY OPPOSITE ARE LOOKING AT EACH OTHER LIKE "WTF IS THIS GUYYYY?" THEN HE FINALLY SETTLES DOWN.
NEXT TO ME.
ON A TRAIN WITH EMPTY SEATS ALL AROUND.
Canoe.
IT'S OK I WATCHED MIGHTY CAR MODS MIRA NUGGET VIDEO THEN I MOVED TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE LIKE.
ok done.

Ya, maybe.
I'm okay thanks tho I struggle enough being socially adept with myself, let alone with random strangers on the tube looking for a travel buddy nooooooooooooooooooooooo thanks!
How was everyone elses commute this morning?
Also, update: It is like a Monsoon in the City of London.
UPDATE: within the 130 seconds of me writing the previous sentence, and staring out the window because I do NOT 100% have ADD it is now sunny.
Right.
