Closing people's fuel caps

[Maz]

If you want to get your own back for a bad overtake, or "adverse" comment.... wait until you catch up in a stationary queue like traffic lights then open the rear kerbside door wide.

The driver has to then get out and walk round to close it!

Did this once on my way home - racist comments from occupants of a passing car. Caught up with them at the temporary lights at the roadworks. Which was handy.

A car overtook me yesterday with a flat. I was going to tell them but they got through the lights further along so I didn't get a chance.

Read this!

I'm always telling people their rear lights don't work. Which one of us checks the lights every time they get in to a car?

On the other side of the coin - if someone does a dodgy overtake you can always tell them that there's a knocking coming from the passenger side rear hub...........

Given some of the psychos driving about, I definitely wouldn't recommend 'adjusting' mirrors without permission - horrific example!

Out working the other day, we saw a couple loading a hire van outside a house, as we passed them and parked up. Then they got in the van and drove past us. Van doors still wide open.

One of my colleagues tried to run after them, but was hampered by his recently broken toe. I wonder how far they went before they found out?

Someone tried to close my fuel cap once. Unfortunately I was driving a Fiat Coupé at the time, and one of its little loveable quirks was a fuel cap that you couldn't close in freezing weather.

Was driving round Cumbria once, and came up behind a BT van with its rear doors wide open. Was a big problem trying to find a stretch long enough to pull out, pull alongside, tell him his door is open, and then complete the overtake. He thought I was some hoodlum trying to get past at any opportunity. I was trying to get past before something came out of the back and hit me.
