Another 'Delayed' Telecast ... Urmmm, I Mean Post ...

Gosh, four whole days of not having internet connection in the office is driving me up the wall. Yes, I still haven’t got my connection back even though we have made payment via a cheque on Monday. And to be fair I didn’t harass the service provider because I know they wouldn’t reactivate our connection at least until the cheque has been cleared which was yesterday.

But I come in the office and still find the connection down. So I call them and they say that the system doesn’t show our payment. Maybe it’s a little slow they say. Try calling in a few hours they say. Fine, I say. But now, several hours later and I’m still in pre-historic times with no connection because now they’re saying that the cheque details still aren’t in the system.

Either the bank has screwed up or the person who banked in the cheque has screwed up or even maybe the service provider has screwed up (which I doubt cos I use the same provider at home and they’re pretty efficient) but if I don’t get connection back soon, I’m going to have to resort to sending out smoke signals! So if you see puffs of smoke nearby, that’s me trying to post something … LOL!

I’ve been pretty much doing nothing all day. Most of my work is done and those that depend on the internet can’t be done so I’ve been sitting and just staring at the four walls in my office. I don’t even have appointments that I can go to. When I’m absolutely free, no client wants to see me, but the moment I get my neck up in work, everyone wants me for some urgent work or two.

I’ve cleaned up my room in the office for the umpteenth time (yes Perry, cleaning seems to be in my blood … hehehe …) and short of cleaning the whole office I don’t know what else to do. So, what do you do then? Why, you go shopping of course … hehehe … And that’s just what I did.

I went home and picked up wifey and we went grocery shopping, all during lunch hour of course :D And that’s when I discovered that almost half the population of drivers over here are plain moronic and absolutely inconsiderate.

‘Oh no, he’s going into one of his rants again!’

Yes, I’m going to rant again. I can’t help it. I just love complaining. Ask wifey. She knows if I don’t at least complain about something the day is just not complete for me. I probably wouldn’t be able to sleep well … hahaha …

Anyways, we went to Tesco again this afternoon. I wanted to get my chocolate chip cookies and that dirt cheap Shandy among other things. So there we were in the car park, which had quite a lot of empty parking bays, though they were a little further behind.

There was this car that happened to see a customer with a full trolley of groceries just about to load his stuff in the car and he stops right there and then, in the middle of the driveway without even signaling to wait for that parking space.

Now, if the place was packed, I wouldn’t have minded it so much. They were a host of EMPTY parking bays nearby, just a few rows away. But no, he insists on wanting this bay. I don’t know, maybe it’s a magical bay where you can shop free or something if you park there. And the worst part is he couldn’t even move his car to the side to the long row of cars behind him to move forward to park.

That guy who was loading the trolley had a lot of things to load into his car and that was going to take some time. But he’s insistent on wanting that bay cos it’s right in front of the entrance. Gee, what a moron! No use honking cos I could tell he wasn’t going to budge. I decided to squeeze my way through and if I scrape his blooming MPV, so be it, I couldn’t care less.

But then, the moment I squeeze in the tiny little area on his left, another stupid car comes up right in front of me going against the flow of traffic trying to get that bay. Gee, I really must find out what is so special with that bay. And after some stressful moments I finally managed to head forward and park my car at the NUMEROUS empty bays a few rows down!

I’ve seen this crap happen so many times in parking bays here. People become stupid, moronic and inconsiderate when they get behind the wheels in parking bays here. I’ve seen people park in motor cycle bays, right in front of entrances, in parking bays reserved for the disabled and driving against the flow of traffic even to the extent of parking behind your car (like what happens here in my office area) and blocking your path if you need to reverse out.

Or even this imbecile who decides this park his car in the trolley path reserved for people with trolleys. I just couldn’t help myself but to take a snap shot of his car for all the world to see. I’m not even going to bother to black out his registration number. He deserves the recognition for dumb ass of the year for making me walk around his car just to push my trolley. And just for your information, they were numerous and I mean numerous bays all around for him to park.


I think I’m going to start a new hobby. I’m going to go around taking pictures of morons like these in action and post them over here. Make it a once weekly thing like moronic Monday or Dumb Ass Thursday or something. It might turn out to be fun. I might even become famous when they drag me to court for slander or something … LOL!
