Things that make your blood boil...

[Pete999]

1- You need to do this course/ need this card/ additional qualification/ need to buy this new book(s)/ give our company money because reasons
2- Too many temporarys on the same P6
3- Domestics
4- Massive stickers over emergency lights so they don't actually give out any light
5- "Good old fashion bulb' that has burnt the ceiling/ joists/ cables to nought etc
6- "No English, talk to supervisor"

Off the top of my head at the moment

Ticked off are we? lol

Its hard when coupled with poor parenting - of which I put the majority of faults with some specimens.

You are probably right. From what I have seen, the poor language skills span more than one generation.

This thread has definitely gone off-electrical-topic!!

So my all time gripe is when you are coming up to a roundabout and a car is coming from the right...you stop to give way to it....it is not indicating left....it then turns left.... I have stopped for nothing...my van then grunts to get going again...and I am left spitting swearing gesticulating and cursing..it is up there with genocide as I thing you just don't do!!!

Well if we are going off topic....

Number 1 gripe of all time - liars, cheats and swindlers.

Number 2 gripe people who accuse me of the above for trying to do a good job!
(Sorry sore subject!)

Gripe 3 stupid drivers who should have their licenses stripped from them.

Stopping at a roundabout and some silly bitch smashing into the back of my van. 5 months after someone smacking into the back of me after stopping at temp lights.

The spelling point is very valid, affect and effect is another that very few get right. Worked with someone once who spelt cupboard, cubbard as well.

People not saying thank you when you stop and give way.

Bus/lorry drivers who think that they can bully onto roundabouts.

Trunking lid falling down and whacking me in the eye, as well as cut 6mm cable whacking me in the same eye later on in the day.

Crap adverts like "wowcher" that give me murderous intentions.

People driving at/just (or indeed well) under the speed limit.

Old bill.

Forgetting to buy things at wholesalers.

Attics and fibreglass.

Crap tea.

Customers not making tea.

Traffic.

Plenty more

Then I apologise if that's not something you partake in mate. It sounded like you were telling someone to do something that you do. So I'm sorry for jumping the gun!

Even more annoying than ob are the people who do their job and want to grass others up and give statements etc. Maybe that's just the way I've been brought up though.

to be honest i leave mine set up in the car and you will be amazed how many people that do ilegal manovers on a daily commute. ive got at least one person each way doing something dodgy

if i did send it off i would be too busy at home with 15-20+ a week

I'm actually putting one in the car, just for back up if an idiot ever causes a crash and then tries getting out of it when the missus is driving.

As for three people crashing into you in 18 months, I'm well on the way, has now been twice in 5 months, last being a few weeks ago. Knot the luckiest people eh!

Someone smashed into the back of my landrover once, they wrote their car off and left a little smudge of paint on the bracket for my towing hitch.
I'm waiting for the day someone hits the front bumper, it's 1/4" thick steel

i went with a blackvue, just plug it in and away you go.

take the micro sd card out and it puts the video files on a folder so its easy to find as well

the firmware is easy to update as well (firmware and settings are stored on the sd card)

[davesparks]

As much as I love it, I wouldn't trust it as my only vehicle.
Instead I bought two of LRs fine vehicles and just hope that at least one is driveable at any time.

I am thinking of getting one for the missus' car.
Only yesterday someone I know had a ----- reverse into him and try the old crash for cash scam.
