Noticed he had a CB aerial so I called him up telling me I was coming past when the road straightens...but...no answer.

Can't say I've ever seen anyone wearing headphones in the country, only cities.

That would've been a surprise as I was in the panel van.

Driving very slowly on west coast of North NZ island.... up in the mountains, tight curvy road, 15-30kmh bends.
I go around this right hander, and the sight and noise make me do a double take because where nobody should be standing and not much room for the traffic, there on the side of the road is a bloke rocking out on bass guitar in a trenchcoat with a big amp in the boot of his parked car turned to 11 He's deep in the groove and thumping out his bassline, was the weirdest thing to see! haha. On inspection of the quick blurry snap my wife managed to get, I saw he had a big **** conga drum sitting close by too for when his amp flattens his powersupply ....so yeah that was a surprise |

Some knob flicking a smoke out the window today, after all the devastating fires around at the moment, i just can't believe the stupidity of some people.

I’m not a supporter of “dobbing” people in but this idiot needs to be taught a lesson. Should have got his rego and reported him.

I was driving down Roe Hwy here in Perth at peak hour (busy dual carriageway way / truck route), traffic was busy but moving about 80-90kph. An old Magna full of young blokes was weaving in and out of traffic, pulling finger signs at everyone, just doing dumb young bloke stuff. Anyway, about 10 mins after they passed me I saw them parked in the grass on the median strip, not 1m off the main road. As I was about to go past, one of the guys walks to the back of the car, drops his daks and starts taking a ****, literally everyone that drove by could see the turd coming out of his bum. There are some grots about...

Stepped off a bus outside Dunedin railway station, there was a young guy dressed in a kilt and full Scottish garb pumping out Acca Dacca's "Thunderstruck" on the bagpipes. Brilliant.

Taxi driver in the left lane on the Tullamarine Freeway heading towards Melbourne Airport - usually they're in the right then they cut across last minute the cheeky little Rogan Joshes.

I saw a young fella driving his Commy in Rocky this morning. He wasn't texting on his mobile. How strange was that?

Was the driver's seat in the correct upright position? Did he have his hat around the right way??? Or was he wearing a hat at all? If all of the above are true ..... that indeed is a RARE site.

This never used to surprise me in the past, but is becoming quite rare now.

Also forgot to ask if it still had its original fuel flap. WTF is with that?

Yeah, that is a common thing these days. Guys driving around with their arm out the window, with the arm down, as if trying to grab the sill. Amazing also that most are indeed Commy and Hilux drivers (in Rocky at least). Do I sound biased? Nahhh.

that people have either forgotten everything they needed to know when going for their licence or are choosing to ignore it
If everyone drove like they did to pass their licence test then the road would be a much safer place

Bunnies outdoor car park on a 34° day, a shiny black Mk IV Jaguar reversing into one of the rather tight bays. Kudos to the driver, a lesser man would have expired from heatstroke.
