Some jerk cut me off in a roundabout, needed to full break. However, I honked what provoked him to break check me and so we were standing there in the round about holding up the traffic. I and some others honked a few times more until he continued driving after what felt like a whole minute. After that he drove zigzag and very slowly in front of me while waving his hands with a fury only to turn left on the next crossing.
Poor guy, must be hard to live with such a tiny wiener.What worries me, more and more of them seem to be around
God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere. Willie Nelson

@Chap I have the same impression. I‘ve been driving for more than 20 years and I used to work in field sales for 10 years. Hence I’ve spent a lot of time on the autobahn and seen a lot but what I‘ve experienced in the last 2-3 years tops it all. Crazy times man…
-
@Tago-Mago wow! I would have never expected such things happening in Germany
-
-
@Tago-Mago I‘d be understanding if it was an IH sale. Wouldn‘t want to miss it either.
-
@don_pipone you probably won’t be surprised to learn that the guy was a regular at the police
-
@Tago-Mago I would‘ve expected so

@don_pipone the other reasonable option here is that she thought you looked like not a creep and sat next to you for safety or for proactively preventing some other random person from sitting next to them in an empty seat as the bus fills up.
-
@pechelman valid point and I would agree if it wasn‘t an express bus going nonstop to the station and she was the last person to board - so no risk of filling up.
Also, I wouldn’t even want to sit next to me

Poor guy, must be hard to live with such a tiny wiener.This happens over here all the time for many years now. Only bad thing is over here those crazies also carry guns.

Only $23.20 to me but still not a meal “deal”
I was talking to the two oldest girls, who are getting ready to head off to college next year, and told them, “You do realize ordering Uber Eats like it’s going out of style for every meal is eventually gonna end, right?”
The funniest part is when Sofia, one of the 18 year olds, says, “Well you buy lots of $100 jeans, shirts, and boots!”
Oh darling… sweet, sweet child. You truly do not understand the cost of things yet.
-
@northsouthdenimguy I don't get Uber Eats and that's why I can afford the jeans, boots and shirts.
At least that's what I tell myself.

Guys, can I whine a little? All prices should be based on the minimum wage. Gas is supposedly cheaper in Russia, and services are cheaper. But!!! Our shitty government manages to tax us twice and even three times. As a result, I can't replace my old car, I can't fill up my tank, I can't go on vacation like a normal person. And when I buy groceries, I always leave alcohol in the basket. So I can get drunk and forget. My life now resembles that of a modern-day Boer from South Africa.

I'll say something about the car separately. Our fucking Russian cars are complete crap! The government, in collusion with the only three Russian manufacturers, inflated the prices of their crap. Foreign brands left Russia because of the war. The Chinese came with their cardboard cars. And now they cost as much as the Mercedes that left before the war. I'm an honest man. I don't know how to steal and rob. I can't buy a car like a European or an American. Fuck. It's a disgrace! Life in Russia is a beast.
