The Rant Thread

Got something you need to get off your chest. This is the place.

Try not to go too over the top, and please refrain from intemperate language...of course in my opinion, symbols are fine.

Also I find it helps me when i rant to try to make it entertaining for others. I get a bit of a laugh out of it and by the time I finish my post it has an almost therapoo....therepu.....calming effect...lol.

My current rant is about the 5h1t 4 brains f%^&tards using both sides of the road to go through bends in the twisties.

I submit that if I posted on here that I was gonna hire a truck and go do the same thing, and someone died, they would call it murder.

But if I just go up into the hills and do it (knowing the result could be the same), I'm just a hopeless driver and there is nothing anyone can do. WTF?

So...been cut off, victim of a "Honey pick up some milk" call while driving, or even the victim of a fender eliminator joke...er...I mean defect? Post up. You'll feel better.

Cheers
Mike

Re: The Rant Thread

I went to the Sturt police station on the way home from work today with a stat dec to say my wife was driving and not me
I got the most arrogant officer I have ever met ,called me "lad".
LAD ! I,m friggin' 45 !
At least the proclaimed officer that had to sign the stat dec was a down to earth woman,that sort of made me feel better.
I get back to my bike ,parked in a police station carpark no less ,and some prick had tried to remove my gear indicator,a police car park FFS !
No damage ,thankfully..................Guess all the police where inside in the A/C ,lol.

lol....didn't take long to get this thread moving! Should prove quite entertaining...knowing how much us Aussie's like to let our true feelings to be known!

And as for the sturt cop shop mick...have had to deal with those guys myself previously...can be most painful...it's like if you are going in there with something simple, they can't be bothered, go in there with something serious...like getting smashed up by a 4wd on a bike...they treat you like, well if you didn't ride a bike.....

Oops....almost another rant!!!

I know it seems like the safest place to park, however a lot of crooked people are required to visit the police station. The good news is that they have cameras everywhere (Christies I'm led to believe has upwards of 40 cameras on and around it) and if you spoke to them nicely, and were lucky enough to get a cop who didn't hate everyone, they could take a look. Chances are it is someone they know. Then they could feed them to the Hating coppers...lol.
