Moron in Hi-Vis
I was driving along this morning in peak hour traffic, approaching some road works, when I noticed some bearded bloke in a hi-vis vest standing next to a speed sign pointing to it. He had caught my eye as I drove along and I wondered to myself “what the hell is he doing?” As I got closer and continued to look at him (dangerously ignoring traffic in front of me) and I noticed he was a road worker. We had found ourselves in a nice little stare down contest.
As I leveled up with him he started flailing his arms around like some sort of moron, pointing at the sign and shouting at me. I finally figured out that he wanted me to slow down to the posted 50 km/hr for his precious road worker colleagues. Fair enough too, I looked down and saw my speed was a staggering 53 km/hr (pre breaking). I am rather impressed at this moron’s built-in radar at being able to pick a car that is doing a massive 3 km/hr over the speed limit.
As I continued through the road works I was interested to see no other workers on site. Had they been working their lives would have been saved by this heroic act. A selfless road worker clearly on his day off standing at a road sign pointing out the sins of his fellow man, capital work there old chap.
I hope he is there again tomorrow…..
Ok so you speed through roard works then have the audacity to whinge at one of the poor workers just trying to do their job and slow you down. What are you getting at?
It’s time to review Rob B’s membership to this forum………………………………………….
I totally agree. Get rid of that do-gooder, tree hugging, whale loving, dolphin humping NIFF!!!!
Dear SJ, you are a thickhead! It amuses me to realise that you are so stupid that it took you a significant period of time to realise what this gentleman was. What finally gave it away to you genius? ………he was in a high vis uniform, holding a traffic sign at a roadworks site…… he wasn’t freaking Santa Claus!
Leave Rob B alone! He actually brings a unique perspective to this site!
Hey IASM………repsond to this statement…..they sky is blue…….now respond with the opposite view point…….very predictable……….lift YOUR game, it’s getting boring
“they sky is blue”…..hmm, good one toothless. You really showed him who’s boss
how bout I show you who’s boss…….fuck knuckle….stay out of things that don’t concern you.
Unlike yourself I am a busy person that doesn’t have time to re-read every post…….i like to provide my employer with some value for the money they pay me……that way they don’t make me redundant
good luck with that toothless. Enjoy slaving your life away for a wage and hoping they don’t make you redundant.
I can assure you the “value” an employee offers plays a very little role in determining redundancies. Do you even think the monkeys at the top of the telstra tree who evaluate redundancies know who you are!
FFS…get over yourself!
- maybe you’re so busy because you’re always posting comments here. You and Rob B seem to be the most regular dribblers on this site.
Enlighten me with your plan to give it to the man…….please……..I’m dying to hear it……
He got you Tiger!!!!
He did get you Toothless!
Thanks Shirvy!
