These people actually have to be recorded on video and then shown how absolutely pathetic they drive !! AND it is not only now and then, it is EVERY SINGLE day !!!
Example 1: You are riding on the N1 (in any direction) and there could be a lone forgotten sign showing " 20 km/h" ; belive it or not they will travel at 20 km/h for the next 5 km, still wondering WHAT ON EARTH THE SIGN WAS FOR !!! Gradually, after a few minutes, they probably will start speeding up to the limit of 120km/h.
Example 2: You are driving on the SAME N1 (especially on an uphill section), and some dumbass in a fast car, pushes from the middle lane into the right lane RIGHT IN YOUR PATH, causing you to hit your brakes; then the asshole realizes firstly that he/she is an asshole for pushing in front of you, and then SAME asshole realises that the car has got speed, and speeds up quickly to 160 km/h in front of you to MAKE UP for the loss in time for YOU, while the asshole is too dumb to realize that your little car has NOT GOT THAT speed, so his/her gesture of speed does not help you at all. SOMEHOW these asshoels think that picking up speed, after the fact, actually makes up for the whole thing. WHAT AN ASS !!!!
Example 3: CELLPHONE, need I say more. You are travelling in the right lane on the N1, where we are expected to drive at approx 120 km/h or so, and you are behind about 15 cars or more, driving at 70 - 80 km/h OUTSIDE OF PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC TIMES (that is why you drive at these times - to avoid traffic); you look past the cars and in front of the "leader of the pack" you see nothing for at least 200 hundred meters or more and wonder why !!! Until you pass the asshole some time in the near future and see that he/she is talking on a cellphone, with not a care in the world for the traffic behind him/her, and NOTHING ELSE MATTERS except the phone call !!! And then, when you try to get their attention to show them the magic sign, they don;t even notice you or anything for that matter. What a bunch of assholes, these cell talkers !!!! What happened to the traffic cops whoi are supposed to fien these nitwits? The traffic cops have obviously got more important things to do, like sit undre trees on the side of the N1, resting after a hard day of "resting" under other trees, and so on !!!
More to follow .....

Lotto
Or should we, we lost A "LOT OH" !!!!!!
Has anyone actually thought of the general sound of the so-called Lotto creed.
"Tata ma chance tata ma millions".
Which as far as I am concerned, in layman's terms, means simply:
"Goodbye to any chance I may have AND goodbye to the millions", which is all you have, a chance and then you and everyone else loses millions !!!!!!
I need say no more. I used to play in the hope that I could win the "big" one some day (as all people wish and in the end you actually give away millions in the process), but NO SUCH LUCK !!!! So I do not play that CRAP anymore. Don't believe in that luck.
You make your own luck. They normally call it "WORK HARD". Then you are sure that you WILL get paid.

Now that's HONESTY !!!!!
HONESTY, VERY RARE NOWDAYS ...... BUT OH SO GOOD !!!!!!!
A friend told me a true story of someone he knew who had lost his purse. This person had no idea where the purse was lost so there was a very very slim chance (especially in South Africa), that he would get his purse back or even the contents of his purse.
Amazingly enough the next day he received a phonecall from a black male asking if he had lost his purse. The black person asked him specific questions about the purse, it's contents, ID information, etc. When the black guy was satisfied that it was in fact the rightful owner of the purse, he arranged to meet him at a shopping centre nearby.
When the chap got his purse back from the black male, EVERYTHING was still in the purse, even to the last bit of loose change he had. When he lost it, he had more than R700 in cash in his purse, and it was untouched, as were all his cards. That in itself was amazing.
The person wanted to know how he could repay the black guy for his honesty but the black male declined and said that he simply felt good in returning the purse to it's rightful owner. The chap insisted and he took the black male out for lunch, which they both enjoyed.
Now can you imagine if ALL people, regardless of race or colour, were honest like this person. Man the world be such a MUCH BETTER PLACE !!!!!

Learner Drivers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to say that at some time or other we ALL did learn to drive a motor vehicle. That is a fact, but the timing nowadays is totally up to shyt !!!
I can understand than a trainer should take a learner driver out in the traffic to learn "in the deep end as it were", but for f@#$ sakes, NOT during peak hour traffic. There is enough other time in the day, OUTSIDE OF PEAK HOURS, when a learner can drive in traffic for practice.
It is absolutely bloody irritating when a learner who has NO or VERY LITTLE idea of how to drive a vehicle, is taken out by the dumbass trainer in peak hour traffic, and then the trainer thinks he is doing the learner a big favour. B#llshit !!!! That is not the case.
It is at peak time when the learners will be on their most vulnerable, very nervy, etc, etc, AND could actually create chaos in traffic, which does happen very often. Half of the traner's job at that time is to keep the learner calm !!!
The trainer should AT THE VERY LEAST, ensure that the learner has a very good idea of general driving, and ONLY THEN take him/her out in peak hour trafffic.
From what I have seen, and by the way these learner drivers actually drive, it looks like they have had maybe only one lesson and the trainer deems it enough to go out on the road to practice at the expense of the other drivers in peak hour traffic.
People are already stuffed around enough on the road by asswipes with licences, (don't always know where they bought it or who they bribed to get it !!!), that don't know how to drive, never mind the learners that have no idea at all, and are only just starting to drive. To all the trainers out there, THINK, you dumbass, before taking your learner out in the peak hour traffic. Teach the poor soul enough FIRST in more quieter traffic, before advancing to peak hour traffic.

UKUBA AFRIKA - Jako Visser
This Jako Visser is a con bastard that no person should get involved with at any time. People in doubt are more than welcome to go and do a google search on UKUBA and see what prospective clients and the ones that were conned, have to say. The asshole was even on Carte Blanche already. It is just a great pity I did not know about his conning behaviour before I started doing computer related work for his business. I always give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but had I known about this con bastard, I would not have gotten involved in the first place.
I started setting up a network for him at his business Ukuba Afrika in Stikland just before Christmas in 2006. I completed quite a lot of work thereafter, supplied PCs etc and recevied payments up to a point (April 2007). Thereafter I received certain payments in between and others not, never thinking that it would actually turn sour as it did. In the end Jako Visser (Ukuba Afrika) owed me more than 10 grand.
After unsuccessful attempts to get him to talk to me and to get my money paid, AFTER HE HAD VERBALLY PROMISED ME PAYMENT, WHICH I DID RECORD AND HAVE AVAIALBLE, I eventually took the matter up with lawyers in September 2007. Shortly thereafter, Ukuba was liquidated and of the more than ten thousand rand he owed my cc, I only received a cheque for ± R165 from the lawyer handling the case, due to the pro rata system , or so the lawyer said. (I must say, lawyers also have absolutely no mercy, they just want their money, come what may; now I can see why people don't want to use lawyers for such or any other cases, AND THESE CON BASTARDS KNOW THAT TOO !!!).
One of his ex-employees came to visit me earlier this year and told me that he was also owed wages by Jako Visser. The ex-employee also mentioned that the con bastard was already doing business AGAIN, in Kuilsriver. I imagine it is probably under another name or another person's name. I am not sure but I will find out and post on this issue later.
One thing I don't understand about the Law in this country, is that they allow a person, even under another name or whatever, to carry on with business after liquidation. This is totally unbelievable !! Why don't they physically BAN these con bastards from having anything to do with any business for a period of time. In that time, if they are caught anywhere in a business, straight to JAIL where they deserve to be !! This will surely teach the con bastards a lesson, not to con any person(s) in future !!! But as it is in this country, it is a con bastard's paradise !!!!

General B#llshit !!!!!!
Now let's tackle the SMS bullshit !!!!! I am being crude in my approach because I am so sick and tired of receiving a load of bullshit from all over !!!!
A perfect example of how I hate the SMS approach (you will see what I am referring to, when I get going), can be the comparison of the people selling goods of all sorts at the robots. For those that don't have a clue what I am talking about; well it's those people who stand or walk around at many different traffic lights (robots to us), trying to sell goods, like little play things to metal artifacts and even toilet paper and black rubbish bags. After all, if I want to buy something from these people, I would call them over and ask about the item(s), but I HATE it when they come and "almost shove it down your throat". It is almost as if you "HAVE TO BUY IT" !!! Then I will NEVER buy, if that is the way I am approached. I would love to know how other people feel about this issue.
SMS - Computer Sales
I placed an advert in the Capeads to sell a computer and/or spares. A few days later I received an SMS which read as follows: QUOTE "Hi, John, I bought the Intel Gaming PC from SFA 0219878910 which was by far the fastest and cheapest. Call Jo-Mari, Very Nice and tel her I refered you. Cindy. xx" 0832272413" UNQUOTE
Firstly, the person obviously cannot spell correctly, if the spelling of the message is checked. I typed it exactly as I received it.
This is an absolute sales ploy, IN THE HOPE THAT SOME PERSON OR PERSONS WILL ACUALLY PHONE THE NUMBERS AND FIND OUT ABOUT PC's. Well not me !!!!.
I actually did send an SMS back to the above cell number telling them to buzz off, basically. I have heard nothing from them since and I have placed ads after that day. I would imagine that everyone that advertises a computer or something in that line probably gets the same SMS. What more will people do to get a sale. I have been working with computers for almost 20 years but besides the normal ads placed in the odd spot here or there, I rely on word of mouth, not "forcing the issue like this lot", I hate this !!!!!
SMS - Traffic Fine (What next?)
I received the first SMS on 11 March 2008 from 082007009475191 (weird number) and it showed the following message: QUOTE "Outstading Traffic Fines, please contact call centre (011) 560-4393 for detail to avoid prosecution, Ref: 90014067" etc UNQUOTE. I then received another SMS with the same message on 15 March 2008 and then another one a day or two later. Then I also received an "Easter Reminder" to pay the fine to avoid prosecution.
Firstly, when I went to check on the internet according to the number provided, I noted that it was a fine issued on 18 Dec 2004. The fine was for speed in excess of 80km/h. When I further checked I found that Enthanjeni Municipality, who actually had issued the fine, covers the Karoo District and De Aar. I have, till this day, still no idea where I was fined. Before the SMS I NEVER received an official fine by post, and also NEVER received any summons following a fine (which you are supposed to receive if you obviously don't pay the fine in time). The only correspondence, if you can call it that, was the 3 x SMS messages and the Easter letter. When I did call their call centre, the lady told me I should have been in court already. HOW THE HELL DO I KNOW ABOUT A FINE OR COURT OR ANYTHING ELSE FOR THAT MATTER, IF I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY DOCUMENTATION FOR MORE THAN 3 YEARS !!!!!!!
After all this time (more than 3 years), I don't understand how they suddenly "found" my cell number which I have had since 1997 and it has NEVER changed. I also don't see how, after all this time, they found my address where I am living now and where I have been living since 2000. This simply means that my cell number and my address was available before 2004, so there can be no arguments why they could only "trace" me now.
In a letter to the Traffic Department in question I raised the above questions. I furthermore requested that a photograph of the transgression be provided. I have no issue with the actual amount of R100, but have a principle issue that I will NOT pay for the sake of paying if it cannot be proven by a photo. I did confirm in the letter that I did travel to the north of the country over that period of time (I cannot remember the exact dates), so it could be possible that I was caught speeding. I also further mentioned that it COULD FOR THAT MATTER ALSO BE POSSIBLE THAT ANY TRAFFIC OFFICER SITTING UNDER A TREE AT THE TIME, COULD HAVE SEEN ME DRIVE PAST AND SIMPLY ISSUED A FINE. I did ask what the expiry date of a fine should be, especially since it has been more than 3 years since the fine date, and I did confirm that I would pay the fine if the photo could be provided as proof; this photo must also show all the relevant printed information on the top relating to the date and speed and so on, (as is always shows in the case of any other fine which I have received in the past.
Needless to say, I am still waiting for an answer in this regard !!!
SMS - ANOTHER BULLSHIT ADVERT
This one takes the cake !!!
I receive an SMS from 082007086100002 0n 4 April 2008, which reads: Quote "Get Fast Cheap Wireless Internet Access, Cheaper Call Rates on Any Calls made by getting the new WEBFONE! Reply '95161' or STOP 95161' to remove your name" UNQUOTE.
Who the bloody hell asked them to send this shit to me in the first place !!!! I DID NOT send an SMS to stop it, and guess what, I never got another SMS again. It just goes to prove, it is yet another scheme to get people to SMS so that in the bigger picture the corporations make millions in the process. The dumb ass that receives this SMS and answers STOP if he/she is not interested, is doing exactly what they want, to utilize an SMS !!!
SMS - OFFER OF MONEY LOANS ETC
Another asshole SMS received.
I received this SMS from 0820070002 on 22 April 2008, which reads: QUOTE "Need Cash? Call RCS on 0861 729727 to apply NOW! Offer expires 16/06/08. T&Cs on http://www.rcsgroup.co.za/ To no longer receive further offers call 0861 729727". UNQUOTE.
Firstly, the same question, Who the bloody hell asked them to send this shit to me in the first place !!!! Then they ask you to call (at your own expense AGAIN like all the others), if you do not want to received further offers.
I thought the Law (FICA ACT) was instated to regulate the lending of credit to individuals, but obviously no-one thought of this continual harrassment via SMS !!!.
SMS - OFFER OF MONEY LOANS ETC (ANOTHER ONE)
I received this SMS from 08200473122942 on 23 April 2008, which reads: QUOTE "Need Cash? You are invited to come into any Nedbank branch and apply for a Personal Loan of up to R100 000! For queries or to opt out, call 0860 103 582" UNQUOTE.
Again, the same question, Who the bloody hell asked them to send this shit to me in the first place !!!! Then they ask you to call (at your own expense AGAIN like all the others), if you want to opt out.
I would think that by now, people in financil difficulty DON'T HAVE TO BE REMINDED WHERE THEY CAN MAKE MORE DEBT, and people should know by now where they can apply for credit if the need arises. Do they have to be reminded constantly about this crap?
It is no wander this country is so deep in debt (the civilians I am talking about now), they keep on receiving these offers !!!
SMS - WIN A CAR !! WHAT A CRAP ONE !!
I received this SMS from 39999 on 26 April 2008, which reads: QUOTE "WIN A CAR 4 U & A FRIEND! sms CAR to 36060 & join the club, get unlimited pis, tones, games & more plus stand the chance 2 win (R10/R5days Subs service Sms OUT to 36060" UNQUOTE.
Again I pose the same question, Who the bloody hell asked them to send this shit to me in the first place !!!! Then they charge you a large amount of mmoney for the SMS to take part in the competition to WIN A CAR, (R10 for 5 days or something like that), which car never gets won, I have not seen any !! Then again they ask you to SMS the word OUT to stop receiving the SMS, and YES, at your cost AGAIN !!!
And by the way , the person sending the SMS also cannot spell !!! (pis probably means pics).
SMS - LETTING OF A FLAT
I advertised a flat for hire in "Die Burger" for one day only. Shortly thereafter on 9 May 2008, I received this SMS from 0837514418, which read: QUOTE "Ons kan u bystaan met goeie huurders, insl krediet nasoeke, inspeksies, ens. 21 Jr ervaring. Kontak Carl: 0837514418, of Cindy: 0734581686, of Info: 0881236204". UNQUOTE.
I have received this message on almost each occasion that I have advertised a flat to rent out. Why am I actually placing the AD in the newspaper each time? Well, obviously because I don't want any middleman or third party involved or I probably would have approached them in the first place, NOT SO !!!!
Just a thought: Maybe Cindy in this advert is the same Cindy referred to in the SMS for the computer sale, who knows !!!!!!
SMS - YET ANOTHER BULLSHIT ADVERT
I receive an SMS from 082007086100003 0n 17 May 2008, which reads: Quote "You've been pre-selected to receive a Samsung J750 from Altech Autopage on a Casual Chat 100 contract. Reply '95175' or STOP 95175' to remove your name" UNQUOTE. Who the fu#$ asked them to send this shit to me in the first place !!!! I DID NOT send an SMS to stop it, and guess what, I never got another SMS again. Again, it just goes to prove, it is yet another scheme to get people to SMS so that in the bigger picture the corporations make millions in the process. The dumb ass that receives this SMS and answers STOP if he/she is not interested, is doing exactly what they want, to utilize an SMS !!! Then again, don't we ALREADY get enough offers on TV and also in our faces in ALL the cell shops wherever you go today; about offers and contracts and all that crap. How many more times must you see this load of crap. If you want a phone on contract, then surely you will go looking for, and find one, not this way. For fu#$'s sake !!!!!! Well I did, just for the hell of it, send an SMS "PISS OFF" to that long number shown in the beginning of the post, and I hope they got the message !!!!!
A perfect example of how I hate the SMS approach (you will see what I am referring to, when I get going), can be the comparison of the people selling goods of all sorts at the robots. For those that don't have a clue what I am talking about; well it's those people who stand or walk around at many different traffic lights (robots to us), trying to sell goods, like little play things to metal artifacts and even toilet paper and black rubbish bags.

It is no wander this country is so deep in debt (the civilians I am talking about now), they keep on receiving these offers !!!
SMS - WIN A CAR !! WHAT A CRAP ONE !!
I received this SMS from 39999 on 26 April 2008, which reads: QUOTE "WIN A CAR 4 U & A FRIEND! sms CAR to 36060 & join the club, get unlimited pis, tones, games & more plus stand the chance 2 win (R10/R5days Subs service Sms OUT to 36060" UNQUOTE.
Again I pose the same question, Who the bloody hell asked them to send this shit to me in the first place !!!! Then they charge you a large amount of mmoney for the SMS to take part in the competition to WIN A CAR, (R10 for 5 days or something like that), which car never gets won, I have not seen any !! Then again they ask you to SMS the word OUT to stop receiving the SMS, and YES, at your cost AGAIN !!!
And by the way , the person sending the SMS also cannot spell !!! (pis probably means pics).
SMS - LETTING OF A FLAT
I advertised a flat for hire in "Die Burger" for one day only. Shortly thereafter on 9 May 2008, I received this SMS from 0837514418, which read: QUOTE "Ons kan u bystaan met goeie huurders, insl krediet nasoeke, inspeksies, ens. 21 Jr ervaring. Kontak Carl: 0837514418, of Cindy: 0734581686, of Info: 0881236204". UNQUOTE.
I have received this message on almost each occasion that I have advertised a flat to rent out. Why am I actually placing the AD in the newspaper each time? Well, obviously because I don't want any middleman or third party involved or I probably would have approached them in the first place, NOT SO !!!!
Just a thought: Maybe Cindy in this advert is the same Cindy referred to in the SMS for the computer sale, who knows !!!!!!
SMS - YET ANOTHER BULLSHIT ADVERT
I receive an SMS from 082007086100003 0n 17 May 2008, which reads: Quote "You've been pre-selected to receive a Samsung J750 from Altech Autopage on a Casual Chat 100 contract. Reply '95175' or STOP 95175' to remove your name" UNQUOTE. Who the fu#$ asked them to send this shit to me in the first place !!!! I DID NOT send an SMS to stop it, and guess what, I never got another SMS again. Again, it just goes to prove, it is yet another scheme to get people to SMS so that in the bigger picture the corporations make millions in the process. The dumb ass that receives this SMS and answers STOP if he/she is not interested, is doing exactly what they want, to utilize an SMS !!! Then again, don't we ALREADY get enough offers on TV and also in our faces in ALL the cell shops wherever you go today; about offers and contracts and all that crap. How many more times must you see this load of crap. If you want a phone on contract, then surely you will go looking for, and find one, not this way. For fu#$'s sake !!!!!! Well I did, just for the hell of it, send an SMS "PISS OFF" to that long number shown in the beginning of the post, and I hope they got the message !!!!!

Asswipe !!!!!
In life we all are human and make mistakes. No one is perfect. But the worst part is when the same person makes the same mistakes, sometimes not realising it or just too ignorant to actually notice. It is when you make the same mistake, purposefully or knowingly, that you could be seen to be an asswipe. The word is self explanatory (speaks for itself for those who don't understand the concept). These examples are perfect illustrations of asswipes, some worse than others. If you ever find yourself doing one of these, just think about THE OTHER PERSON/S for a change and what you would feel like if you were in their shoes. Then let's all work on becoming less of an asswipe. We all probably do the following at some time or other. Just keep it to the bare minimum and the world will surely be a better place !! Here are some classic examples. See if you have experienced some or even all of these occurrences, both as the guilty party or as the poor victim. Weigh the pros and cons and improve !!!
************************************************************************************
*** If you stopped at a robot in the right lane of a dual lane road, (the lane where you can either go straight or turn right), and no car is behind you UNTIL you look in your rearview mirror and you see someone (who actually wants to go straight) pull up behind you, the robot truns green and SUDDENLY you WAKE UP and switch on your right indicator to show that you're going to turn right ....... you guessed it ....... you're an asswipe !!!!!!
*** If you are stationary at a robot waiting for the green arrows to allow you to turn off to the left or right, (and yet the green arrows have already been flickering for quite some time while you are simply daydreaming), you hear hooting in the background but ignore it or don't quite know what the fuss is all about, until SUDDENLY you WAKE UP when the arrows are amber, then your's is the ONLY car to go through while everyone else behind you must wait for the next robot change ....... yep, you guessed it ....... you're an asswipe !!!!!!
*** If you're travelling down a road toward a turnoff at quite a speed, and only while turning you then WAKE UP and manage to actually switch your indicator on to show that you are going to turn off (or maybe not at all), so much so that the other vehicles who could have turned off in the meantime (if you had used your indicators), have to then wait even longer for another opportunity to enter the traffic, thanks to your ignorance and selfishness or just plain stupidity ....... yep, you guessed it ....... you're an asswipe !!!!!!
*** You drive at a painstakingly slow speed toward a robot that could change at any moment, blocking all the traffic behind you. When you get near the robot, it actually does change to amber, at which point you suddenly WAKE UP and speed off over the amber/red robot. Your car is the ONLY car to go through while everyone else behind you must wait for the next robot change ....... you guessed it ....... you're an asswipe !!!!!!
*** You wait at a robot (which always takes a long time to change to green), focusing all your attention on the robot waiting for the change of colour to green, and during the the last few seconds you start looking for something in your car or pocket or whatever. At this exact time the robot turns green and only after a short while you WAKE UP and realise it is green and by the time you drive off, only your car and maybe one other car gets through the now red robot, while the rest wait for the next robot change. Then to cap it all, you look in your mirror at the guy behind you who hooted when you were ASLEEP, and speed up to 120 km/h (in a 60km/h zone) within 50 meters, as if this burst of speed will make up for lost time ....... it's simple ......... you're an asswipe !!!!!!
*** You stop at a robot to turn right. There is a barrier line which implies that you must stop BEHIND the line to allow the incoming vehicles enough room to turn into the opposite lane. You stop about a meter over that line, thus making it very awkward for the person turning into your road to actually do just that. And to cap it all, when the person you have wronged looks in your direction you give him one of those f.... you looks !!! ...... yes .... yes...... you're definitely an asswipe !!!!!!
*** You are driving home on the highway in the right lane (still a mystery why everyone clings to the right lane which, in peak hour traffic, is effectively slower than the left lane), and you arrive at your offramp. You don't move across to the left one kilometer or so before your offramp. You wait till you are parallel with the turnoff or almost on the line of the offramp, then you suddenly WAKE UP and slam on the brakes, and veer to the left in front of another car in the left lane and over the yellow chevron and carry on home happily, while a number of other drivers suffer near heart attacks. As for this ......... and because you fail to see the near fatal accidents you could cause each time this happens, especially in the peak traffic ........... you are a definite asswipe !!!!!!
*** You are wanting to enter into the flowing traffic but are impatient. For example you want to turn left. You push in front of an oncoming speeding car, and as you are about to pull away, you put your indicator on to turn off at the very first road. No concern for any traffic whatsoever because you just cannot wait those extra 10 seconds till the oncoming lane is clear, you would rather have one or a few vehicles hastely apply brakes while you simply push in and then stop right in their path to turn off again.... for this you deserve an asswipe star (if there ever was one) ....... but still you are a definite asswipe !!!!!!
*** You enter onto a highway via the onramp which is approximately half a kilometer long. When you enter into the oncoming traffic who are travelling at approx 120 km/h, you actually slow down and then push into the traffic, forcing the vehicle behind you to suddenly slow down, thereby creating a chain reaction much further back in the flowing traffic than you could ever imagine. The idea of the onramp and it's length, is for an entering driver to have ample time to speed up to the approxiamte speed travelled on the highway so you can simply fit into the traffic with no disruptions. But doing it the slow way could cause accidents and puts you in the category of ............ an asswipe !!!!!!
*** You are driving on the highway listening to the radio, smoking a cigarette and at that exact moment your cell phone rings. As per normal practice you almost overturn your vehicle, either due to the fright you experience from the sudden sound of the eerie or loud ringtone or even the realization that someone is calling you; you do not have a bluetooth earpiece which is law, and you balance the phone, the smoke and the steering wheel with your one hand while turning the radio volume down with the other hand and then changing lanes at the same time, not intentionally but due to your reaction to the call. The poor drivers around you believe you have lost control of the vehicle, which in fact you have as your mind freezes at that time, and after veering across the lanes a few times or slowing down from 120km/h to about 60km/h in a matter of seconds and creating a traffic jam on top of it, you enjoy your chat on the cell phone, and after you are finished, you speed up to 140km/h to make up for lost time, and look around in dismay at all the "stupid" drivers looking at you as if you're mad, ........ sometimes not even realizing you are a definite asswipe !!!!!!
*** You drive a truck, which top speed is about 80 km/h on a downhill, in the left lane of a higway. A truck in front of you is driving at 78 km/h which ccoring to your calculations is just a little too slow for your liking. You push into the traffic in the right lane (use your size advantage over the poor small vehicles to force your way in), and then "try" to overtake the other truck, knowing that this could take a while (but who cares), and in the meantime half of the highway's vehicles are backed up behind both trucks. Not one of the 2 trucks is prepared to either speed up or give way, in fact they start "dicing" each other, this at the expense of the ever increasing highway traffic buildup behind them. After franctically trying for about 3 to5 minutes (which in normal time behind a truck is VERY long), you eventually give up, or on the downhill the other truck actually pulls away from you and you fall in behind the truck again. Then you look with a "surprised" asswipe face at the motorists passing you, glaring at you or even demonstrating the middle finger or other signs showing their dislike of your actions, and you even curse them for doing that. ................... oh you are surely a dumb asswipe !!!!!!
