Car Wash Calamity

Whilst waiting for my turn at the Car wash in Sainsburys I was kept amused by the people already in there.

Anyone with a 1/3 of a brain would know that the windows need to be shut, the mirrors in, and aerial down. None of these things had happened here, and whilst the brushes were about to start pummelling the car in a soapy showdown, the car owners were trying frantically to hang out the windows and sort these issues out. They failed, and during the process the passenger got the best hair shampoo ever!

After the car wash had stopped, they spent 2 minutes picking up what was left of the aerial, and mirrors. No doubt it was the fault of Sainsburys, and not the idiots themselves! Most entertaining visit to the car wash... of the year!

Fog + Auto headlights + Idiots = Disaster

This morning in the UK we have a thick blanket of Fog - meaning the visibility on the road is around 50 yds at most.

The majority of cars on the road have their headlights on, and fog lights - as you would expect but there are a good handful who have not. No headlights on at all!  The cars that these idiots belong to are the sort of cars who will have Auto headlights (they come on when its  dark and go off when its light.)  So obviously the fact that these drivers no longer have to think about switching on / off the headlights when its dark, has made them stupid.  They have failed to think that perhaps they should put on their headlights and fog lights when its a very foggy day.  These are the kind of people who will walk into a lamppost because they were staring at a woman's boobies, and sue the council because the lamppost was there, and not made out of soft duck feather filled pillows!

I saw a near miss this morning because of this.  A car coming the other direction turned in front of a car, because it couldn't see it - it had no lights on at all!  Perhaps the Auto Headlights switch should come with a sticker saying "sometimes you might have to turn them on manually when its not dark, but you cant see jack all. Fools."
