Thought i would start this because i popped out earlier and saw 2 funny random things and it got me thinking about all of the other funny things i see and wondered what others see also.

 

Could be fun!

 

Anyway, today i popped out to ASDA and on the way i saw a big butch well tanned bloke covered in tattoos driving a builders van. I glanced at him and saw that he was licking one of those huge multicoloured flat lollypops :lol: 

Made me chuckle!

 

As i turned into ASDA i saw a faded Red Fiat Ducatto van with 3 massive pikey sorts in it, A man and 2 women. The woman sitting on the outside passenger seat was hanging out the window smoking and as i looked across as i passed them, i noticed a little boy of about 6 or 7 sitting in front of her with his back to the dashboard.  

To my shock and surprise, she passed him the cigarette and he started smoking it  :ohno:

 

Anyone else see anything funny while out and about?

The 55 mile long stationary tailback on the North bound M6 today. I can laugh, because I got stuck for 4 hours crawling down the southbound.

A few years ago in a 6 hour traffic jam on the M6 I decided to cycle around on a little kids bike that was in the back of my car.

 

I was stopped by a police office who told me it was an offence to ride a bike on the motorway.

When I was going to Southern mini days a few years back. I got stuck on the m25 for like 8 hours or so (horrific!)

I was probably one of the folk who other people look at and question, because after a while, I had to get out an put the exhaust back on as it was on the verg of falling off

Popped into Tesco earlier and as i was leaving, an old man in his 70's wearing a tweed suit, white hair etc walks in pushing a trolley singing Rude by magic at the top of his voice!

 

'can i have your daughter for the rest of my life? say yes, say yes because i need to know'

 

​Was absolutely hilarious!

The funniest one I saw was at fleet services, some old guy reversed his mondeo out of a parking space, and hit the car that was waiting for his space, he then shot forward to crash into a parked car that was next to where he was parked :lol: was quite amusing to watch it from a car behind :lol:

I was sitting in the dentists car park earlier this year and watched this chav bowl across the car park in his cap and jogging bottoms and get into a Corsa VXR that was parked beside me.

He started it up and started gunning the engine, i guess to show off his raspy exhaust  :lol:  anyway, he reversed back at a rridiculous speed whilst still gunning the engine and looking at me with a smug look on his face.

 

He backed straight into some old dear in a 206, stupid idiot.

 

he copped me laughing and flicked me the bird.

 

When the old lady got out of the car, he said it was her fault but he wouldn't proceed with insurance if she didn't want to. me being me got out of my car and stepped in and assured the old lady that it would be best to get his details and that i would be a witness if she needed it.

 

he was NOT happy!

 

ha ha ha

Some years ago I was waiting at a busy junction and watching a youngster on the other side in an MG Metro getting very impatient. He shot past other cars as soon as the lights went green and turned across them to go left - straight into the keep left bollard in the middle of the road. Everyone stopped and laughed as he got out in a rage and kicked his own car!

I was waiting at the lights in the outside lane when along came a Caterham with two excitable chaps on board pulls up on the inside, as we waited at the red lights he was edging forward and looking over so you can guess the next steps. So me thinks may be not...... I go for a diplomatic approach so watching the lights as they change down to green I pull away and look across and he's stalled it, it did make me smile. A few hundred yards down the road he screams past me like he stole it. Made my day....

Sometimes when stuck in traffic, i watch the other drivers coming the other way and watch their driving style or the looks on their faces and you are right, some people are so funny.

 

I used to do agency work and one bloke i worked with, who was a right creepy looking sod had to drive the minibus one day and he sat right forward with a roll up hanging out his mouth, squinting and with the massive look of concentration on his face. The end of his roll up was almost touching the windscreen.

we al feared for our lives, it looked like the first time he had ever driven  O_O

Followed an old white Micra this morning. It was being driven by a really short, old bloke wearing a trilby hat. From behind, you couldn't see his neck or anything. Just looked like a hat driving the car. He had what looked like a Vulcan bomber model on the parcel shelf and that box of tissues that old people put there. When I pulled up alongside him, he was driving all scrunched up; sort of hugging the steering wheel. He couldn't get any closer to the windscreen if he tried. Just looked so uncomfortable. I always find that funny; when people really lean forward when driving. Like having your face that extra couple of inches closer to outside makes a difference somehow ...
