Stupid People Being Ownd

    A woman (mid 40's) pulled into a space next to me this evening, parked arseways nearly running into me. When I looked at her she had a Yorkshire Terrier on her lap and 3 more of the little bastards jumping around the car and barking like mad. She saunters off leaving the dogs in the car, I was at my car, getting ready to go home, I was looking at the dogs when one jumped onto the dash and took a great big steaming..... you know what.

    To say I was delighted was an understatement, I mean driving around with 3 uncontrollable dogs in the car and another on her lap at 10.30 at night.... and she was only going to the feckin Chinese! I'm not one for leaving pets on their own for very long but I'm sure the dogs could have managed for 20 minutes or so and 4 dogs should not be left alone in a small car either

    Any of you ever see a stupid person ownd?

    You see it all the time on the N7 after newlands cross - people driving dangerously/speeding/weaving only to pass them out as you drive by while they are chatting to a member of the Siochana

    You don't live in Clare do you? :rolleyes:
    About 6 years ago my father got a new car on Jan 3rd and it was written off on Jan 6th by a woman in a car with a load of small yappy dogs who hit him side on the impact was on the passenger wheel and the chassis was f****d

    Did you stick around to see her reaction - I couldn't resist a Nelson moment like that.

    I once saw a really hot girl in a pub one evening fall flat on her face. All the blokes thought it was funny because her boobs kind of spread out like pankakes and all the girls starting hissing because they were jealous of her being so hot.

    No parking stories come to mind yet.

    Well, actually is it a couple of times I have nearly been 'owned by my own stupidity with a dog in the car!!!

    I had my little puppy in the car with me going for his first visit to the vet. He was in the boot (hatchback) but was whinging a lot as puppys do during their first couple of drives.

    I decided to put him in the front passenger footwell and went on my way. Heading out the N2 and suddenly he appeared on my lap, put both feet on both shoulder and decided to start licking my face. I couldn't see a thing and had just managed to push him out of the way and pull over when a garda car came towards me. 5 seconds earlier they would have seen me with a Black Lab puppy in my face doing 60mph down the road.

    I wisely invested in a proper seat belt harness for him after that. He usually stays in the boot on most trips, but another time I had a boot full of football gear and let him ride on the passenger seat, buckled up in his harness and safe as me. He lay his head down on the front arm rest where I could pat his head as we drove along. Pulling out of a back road on to the main road, I had the car in drive and took off to get in to a small gap in the traffic when suddenly I had no power and the car revved like mental the the traffic quickly coming up my arse.

    His head had moved down and knocked the shift leaver from D to N just as I took off, so I had managed to get in to the lane but then nothing !!! trying to move his head out of the way to get it back in to D was near impossible as he had found his comfy spot .. just about managed to get in to the hard shoulder where I emptied the boot and put the dog in his proper place and finished my journey with the smell of wet training gear !!!

    Dogs have no place in the cabin of a car !!!!!!

    A car full of small dogs...? Going to the Chinese...? Hmmmm.

    I helped what I thought was a friend move house once.He had an old CRT TV which I put in the back,screen against the back upright seat of my then Audi 80.
    I was going around the Wilton roundabout and the TV toppled up on it's corner and over onto the passenger window-the window cracked into a thousand pieces in the middle of heavy traffic.
    Thing was,the fool was sitting in the back seat beside the effing thing!
    He refused to pay me a cent.

    I know I've seen a hundred of these, but none are coming to mind at the moment. I'll keep my eyes peeled! :D:D

    Excellent idea for a thread.

    Had a 5ft snake escape on me in the car once.I was only after rehoming it from the A+P forum.Went to collect 2 of them in Rathmines and was driving back with the cage on the back seat.

    Turned around to find the thing climbing up the back of the front seat a few inches from my head.

    Lucky they dont bother me but this bloke beside me at the lights was freaking out.

    Who knows the lights at Slane bridge?

    Well one time coming from the Dublin side I was 3 cars back in a line of cars, the lights went red and the first car stopped, there was traffic just getting across the bridge at this stage and the lights were red for a solid 6/7 seconds.

    The car just in front of me then suddenly decided to pull out by the first car and shoot across the bridge at speed.

    Just as I was saying what a dickhead I seen a Garda step out on the other side of the bridge and pull him in.

    :D

    I'd say it happens quite a lot - and the gardai have to stay hidden until the driver makes their move ...or no cash for them !!!

    They weren't hidden though they were parked up in a car with full Garda livery the other side of the bridge.

    sitting second at a set of traffic lights, white civic in front revving the engine trying to showing off the passing girls. The lights go green, he tries to floor it and stalls. the unimpressed girls just start laughing. Priceless.
