People who whinge when I tailgate them. Don't they realise that I'm honing my reaction and avoidance skills? Turning up the car radio and boom-boom speakers helps me to concentrate and fine tunes my high frequency hearing so as to more easily hear the emergency vehicle that is tailgating me. Burning the rubber off my tyres helps the local council with road repairs as those extra layers on top of the bitumen reduce wear and tear on the road surface; it also helps the local economy when you take into account the price of tyres these days. Doing doughnuts is similar as it's free advertising for the local businesses.
I regularly exceed the speed limit on our roads just to add to the government's treasure trove and, even if I am advised not to drive I can still do so, thus increasing revenue. Even if I don't I will still help our limping economy by donating a few bob by way of transport charges - assuming I pay them - but if I choose not to do that (it's a free country isn't it?) then I'll just have to find the necessary to pay any court imposed fine. See; it's a win-win situation.
Of course I would never go as far as putting myself in the way of a custodial sentence as that would be an imposition on the taxpayer and a total waste of the money that I've already paid; I'm not selfish you know.
Well, OK, just a little bit selfish. After all I'm now the proud possessor of a Seniors Card which should allow me about 10% off my next donation.
I suppose what I'm saying is that what cheeses me off is those people who don't understand me. What's wrong with a free spirit?
It must be your shout.
