Crazy story of the day.

edited March 2017 in Road general
Just witnessed a story of the day which will be hard to beat. As I'm walking up the road to work I hear shouting and see a cyclist (not a roadie) shouting at a driver in a black car, the usual right of way stuff. I turn the corner and now hear the driver of the car shouting, I look back and see the car door is open and the driver is out of his black car. My first thought is ok it's punch up time, but the cyclist is nowhere to be seen. Then I hear what the driver is shouting "OH MY GOD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING! THIS IS A HEARSE, YOU'VE GOT MY KEYS! :shock:

Who would nick the keys from a hearse!? A f@cking cyclist, that's who. :lol:

    I doubt that the 'client' will care much.

    Cough, back on topic. The cyclist did have an Eastern European accent so maybe it's possible he didn't know it was a hearse?

    Also do local papers buy stories? Maybe I could sell it.

    I'll ask a friend of mine, doubt they would pay anything though. Can you imagine the outrage in the comments section?
    A friend of mine got into an argument with someone and took the keys out of the guys ignition and lobbed them down the road. As he did so he realised he had actually managed to snap the key in the lock. But he was driving at the time not cycling, well immediately before hand he did get out of his car. Although he does own a bicycle so maybe that's why he did it.

    Yes I guess cyclists get enough bad press without adding to it.

    who's to say that the driver wasn't being an @rsehole though? We seem to be casting aspirations on the cyclist here...

    Aspirations?! Aspersions. :lol: I didn't see what led to the altercation but nicking a hearses keys can't be justified surely. Plus it's theft.

    Oh so we're back to blame the immigrants, eh. Freakin' ell, what is this - the BNP forum. Sorry, mean UKIP.

    Anyhow, are you saying they don't have hearses/dead people in Eastern Europe?

    Then, according to Falange, the Emperor of the Idiots and his clan of idiot followers, they come over and steal your jobs, your women, your benefits and still find time to be blood sucking vermin.

    Now that's what I call multi tasking talent. Bet your average lazy British chav/scrote/ned/benefitter couldn't do that.....

    Why would a hearse be any different to another car?

    If there is no intent to permanently deprive its not theft but TWOC.

    If you really don't like bigots does that make you bigoted against bigots and thus a self loathing bigot?
