Roger's head 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Bad drivers. This morning I was behind this woman driving a k car. She slowed down suddenly to almost a stop, going slightly past the road on the right. She decided she wanted to turn right so - without apparently looking behind here - she backed up (almost into me who was desperately trying to reverse as well to avoid a collision) and turned right. After she had turned right I slowly followed but it wasn't over. It seems she had made a mistake and decided she didn't want to go down this road and so she once more suddenly stopped and started reversing without looking AT ALL and once more nearly crashed into me. Possibly the worst and more ridiculous piece of driving I have ever witnessed. Link to post Share on other sites

Roger's head 0 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 The first time no - I was trying to avoid being crashed into so the priority was reverse. The 2nd one I hit the horn yes, not much effect. She was in here own world. Link to post Share on other sites

merryJim 1 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Old people who walk in the middle of the road and ignore cars. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 yeah, but in many cases they were probably walking there before there were many cars! Well, out in the countryside anyway... Link to post Share on other sites
kintaro 0 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I don't understand why they do it but the guys (usually older) in the locker room at the gym or sometimes at the onsen standing around naked slapping themselves with a semi-wet towel really annoys me. Link to post Share on other sites
firedog23 0 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Yeah, the walking in the road thing is beyond old. And to top it there usually is a 2 meter wide sidewalk right next to them. Also the Japanese drivers who insist taking turns at 2 kph in hopes they don't overturn their cars. Also people who give you the evil eye when they run a stop sign and look at you like you are in the wrong. Not that I am a fan of American drivers but here in Japan time stands still on the road.

Yeah, I was referring more to 80 year old baachans and jiichans in little country towns (which is where I first had the thought) that probably were walking those streets long before cars were a fairly common sight there.

I also cant stand the blokes at gyms who try their hardest to stretch their necks so they can get a peak at your package. This one bloke on Monday tried with all his might to get a look (theres a plastic piece which allowed me to see behind me on the inside of the locker door). I havent felt so disgusted at somebody in a long time that I blurted out nani wo jirojiro mittorunda omae? Yeah, people also walkin in the street when theres a sidewalk too...WTF? T.I.J. huh? In America your arse would be run over and itd be your fault. That, and H.T.F. dont people hear cars behind them when walkin in the road? The car could be 10 inches off their arse and they still wouldnt know its there..F'ing wankers End vent Link to post Share on other sites

soubriquet 0 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 GF and I spent some of her precious free time driving up to Iwate go to Hanayama onsen. Beautiful sunny day, clear air and a lovely cool NW breeze. It's a kilometre walk in through beech forest. The bath is in the river. When we got there, it was closed for a TV shoot.
