Is there some kind of camp we can send these people to make sure they 'dissappear'? Their incompetance has this cascading effect of making everyone they encounter annoyed, and puts them in a bad mood.

Take one arsehole, the most recent of many. I'm crossing the road. This guy drives through a give way sign, over a roundabout (infact, he went across the wrong side of it in a straight line) and then holds down his horn when i'm crossing the road at a point where pedestrians have right of way as if i'd done something wrong. I was already half way across the road . Obviously my reaction is to continue to walk at the same speed and give him an "up yours". He speeds off, about 5 mins later i see the same tool driving around and he stops next to me and gets out of the car, with his mates in side, and comes up to me and says
"did you say fuck off to me? Are you going to say it to my face" (except more of a grunting slang).

Admittedly he was twice my size, you know the time, fat idiots that work in some generic place equal to their asperations in life, and undoubtedly could kick my head in even if his car wasn't full of his mates. I probably wouldn't have been able to knife him in time if he chose to lamp me. I have taken to carrying a knife because of the number of truely staggering number of arseholes there are around these days.

Anyway, obviously I had two responses;
a) I weasel out of it to avoid confrontation
b) I make him feel like an idiot and risk getting beaten up in his frustration at making him look like a fool, or hopefully he just walks off.

I figure, fuck it, I'm more of a b kind of guy and i figure he's just playing up in front of his mates hence why he bothered to turn round and drive round looking for me.

"Firstly, I didn't say anything but the signal means up yours, which is an apt response to certain kinds of behaviour. For example, one can't be expected to do nothing when a driver skips a give way sign, drives over a roundabout, drives straight at a pedestrain then holds down their horn expecting them to move. Warrants a response."
(yes i'm a prick in real life, and have flowing over the top prose at my disposal)

Now i was expecting a punch at that point, but unfortuantely didn't have my hand near my knife, guess i was lucky or the numerous words spoken in an articulate manner caused confusion to the poor creature, instead the response was...

"You go round the corner and show me a pedestrain crossing"

Amazing creature...

"Its after the give way sign you drove through, round the roundabout you drove over, and just where the pedestrian was crossing. You can usually tell by the dips in the pavement to allow wheelchairs to cross at points where pedestrians have right of way"

Sigh...

"I knew you wouldn't fucking say anything to my face"

Was the response as he got back into the car, and then drove off in the wrong direction. Why do they let these morons onto the roads? It always puts me in a bad mood for the rest of the day when some arsehole does this kind of shit, its like their fustration at being a moron is transferrable as negativity in people they encounter.

Anyone have an arsehole put them in a bad mood today then? (this is where someone says "there was this arsehole pedestrain that told me to fuck off" )

Anyway, my point is today I nominate fat, retarded, shit driver as HHAH's retarded arsehole of the day. Please feel free to post your nominations...

What a arse

Unbelievable! Where you live one should have expected that this asshole has been filmed by at least three CCTVs and been lagged at once for anti-social behaviour. Still not enough cameras?

On a semi-related note. Someon tells me I'm not allowed to carry a knife in the uk. Now i knew butterfly knives, "concealed" knives with large blades and switchblades were illegal, but i didn't think pen knives, etc. were banned?

Anyone know if your allowed to carry a knife? I know they've been changing the law but i'm pretty sure a pocket knife is legal.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knife_Legislation#UK

Honestly, i'd prefer not to have to carry one but the increasing number of utter arsehole chavs that pop up on public transport or where your out on a night is quite a big problem these days. People that actively go out to be an arse you know.

Maybe it's a little too philosophical, but do you really think they're at home planning to be an arse before they go out? Or are they arses all along without them knowing it?

I honestly don't believe its the former, i think they just happen to be arseholes and aren't taught social skills or respect for other people, probably as a result of increasingly shitty parenting skills of each generation and the simultaneous removal of abilities to deal with young people.

I know someone who's convinced the only way to solve the youth problem is another world war to teach them fear, discipline and respect for life. Its extreme, but its a clear problem, there are arseholes that just don't do anything for society. I have to think poor parenting, and the lack of authority and power of discipline in schools is the root cause of these people growing up as arseholes.



Back to the knife thing, the ironic thing is I'd probably get done for carrying a knife if i were ever arrested. There's little chance i would be, well except now police randomly search people at train stations and the increasing punishment for lesser crimes whilst hard crimes like violence just aren't tackled.

AFAIK the blade must be a maximum length of 3 inches, anything above that is illegal. I think any flick or stiletto is illegal.



Yep, there it is.

Couldn't help but grin here and there.

But spud, NEVER EVER pull a knife against a group.

Yes, there's the chance they'll back off.

But more likely, their already low primordial threshold breaks down and they'll jump you, more out of fear than desire, note, and they won't stop punching and kicking until you're a pool of blood on the pavement.

As you'll be very much aware, people these days view the world more black and white these days; not to wander off to far in philosophy, if you pull a knife , they'll reckon themselves to be given a carte blanche in "self-defense". Reason nowadays is rather void of objectivity.

Also, a knife takes skill to be effective, and you'll have a lot of explaining to do afterwards- get your hands on brass knuckles , FAR more effective , and less a mess afterwards, *IF* you really need to carry something.

...
I always pictured you to be that sunday morning suburb boy. Didn't know you lived in a rough neighbourhood.

We all bump into the looking-for-a-fight-6'6-asshole from time to time.
One of life's chores.
Don't contemplate What could I have/ What should I have - It won't erase/calm that rage of injustice .
Just go out and treat yourself doing something you love. I dunno what.

My lousy 2 cents are, that do something good to erase something bad.
...
Trust me , I was a mini-gangsta once

i probably wouldn't have pulled one anyway, just first thing i thought of when he came running over. He was a proper fat guy with missing teeth, looked like a right prat.
The other guys were sat in the car, he'd obviously just trying to show off.


If you use public transportation in the uk, there's no such thing as a "safe neighbourhood" beyond a few countryside bus routes.

My stepsson had a small knife, blade about 1.5 inches, almost like a scalpel but in a hard case, that he used for work. He got a random stop and check on the way home from work and was prosecuted and received a fine and 80 hours community service for having a concealed weapon. They told him he could carry no type of bladed weapon.

TBH Spud, I aint a fighter either, but you would be better off with something small and blunt to smash them in the arms or legs. I would recommend legs as the muscles knot up very easily if you give them a whack.

Speaking from personal experience pulling a weapon on someone can often go the wrong way, expecially if the other person/s is/are tooled up too. You did good though, I love making the neanderthals feel inferior, it works very often as they just look like tits infront of their other cavemen chums.

yeah, no knives, you`re better off with the biggest C-Wrench you can find, you know the type for unscrewing sinks......

....they hurt like hell and if you get stopped by the police then you`ve just borrowed it because your sink is leaking.

Believe me, these things will drop a motherfucker cold!

Blunt objects are way more effective, like I said go for the limbs. At best they get dead legs and shit and pretty much turn into a muppet that can hardly move, worse case you break a bone. Either way it is not permanent.

The last thing you wanna do is mess someone up badly just in self defence, you bring too much shit to your door, so to speak.

Also worth noting, people find a small bat more intimidating in many cases, any twat can wave a knife around but how many people would actually use it? With a blunt object I seem to feel better, and I think the other people think twice too as it would hurt like fuck and many people would be moreb comfortable with this.

Domain Name Registrars and Moronic registers

For those that aren't aware of what these people do, its simple on paper. Keep a list of who owns what, and tell them when their domain is about to expire. However, somewhere hidden between the words is a statement that they have to be the most retarded, incompetant companies in the history of man kind.

They are overly expensive, completely anti-customer and a complete shambles in pracise. They allow domain squatting, shadey companies and all sorts of nasty shit to exist mainly because of their own ineffectiveness to control the network. There are several big companies around the world that have been appointed controllers of domain names, and for the pleasure they sit and make a hefty profit for the honour.

If one of these incompetent companies lets your domain expire (say, lycos, or similar cretins), there's a redemption period that will cost you hundreds/thousands of dollars just to give you back your property, and then when it expires, a top level registrar tends to squat and bulk register domains as they expire, squatting on hundreds of domains in the hope that you pay a huge sum to require it.

That is why Domain Name Registrars are the Arseholes of the Moment.

Sounds like someones bitten your ass spud
You lost anything important ?

na, but the whole process really winds me up. Cybersquatting especially.

Try look around for a domain name, see how many holding/advertising/shite domains are sat there hogging them all.
They shouldn't be allowing that shit.

I wanted to buy a .com domain, some Yank company is holding it, but i can buy it off them for $800 if i want

Ended up buying the .co.uk for about £5.

Tossers!!

that's exactly the problem, there's companies that go round buying up combinations of names too, very annoying.

It costs $8000 at least to launch a dispute of a domain, just pray you don't have problems or your screwed.

I nominate The BBFC for a lifetime achievement for contributions to the art of assholery:

I nominate the $^&*#@&& at my ISP for fathomly cutting me off from net access for over 2 DAMM WEEKS without explaininig the cause ; e.g. most likely a blunder to blush for...

Man it's been 2 looooonnnnnnnggg weeks ; started scratching on places where there was no acheing,,,,

maybe they, like everyone else, just figured you were a douche?

I think its very hard to nominate one isp over another, they are all pretty piss poor in terms of technical services. That's pretty annoying though, however, you don't have BT in your country.
