This week's rant.... :)
Saturday evening, driving home, figure we better stop in at Sainsburys for some dinner. So... negotiate Claypotts junction (in Dundee) fine, then get to the mini-roundabout to turn right into where Sainsburys is. It's beginning to get dark(ish) so my lights are on, and I put the indicators on to turn right across the roundabout. Something however catches my eye, and I instictively jump on the brakes- just as a Pizza Hut delivery Smart Car flies STRAIGHT ACROSS the roundabout doing about 40mph, with the stupid £$^%"&*%^£$^ing girlie driving it looking straight ahead, with no idea she's just gone across a roundabout, let alone spotting us already on the roundabout, about to turn in front of her! It gives me the rage to think what might have happened if I hadn't been paying attention (unlike a certain other driver)! We phoned Pizza Hut as soon as we got home to complain loudly, but as I hadn't got the Reg number (she had scarpered throught the traffic lights, oblivious to almost casuing a smash - apparently there were 2 girls on delivery that night in both of their cars)
The 'manager' was very apologetic on the phone and promised us he's look into it. Yeah, sure I believe you. If only I'd managed to get the Reg number, i'd have been straight to the Police as well. Not the best advert for your business if your drivers are a danger to the public!
Thinking back on it, The best reaction to the event was to let her pass in front of me without blasting my horn, as I did. Otherwise she might have panicked and swerved into me! :blackeye::(
I was all for heading straight to Pizza hut to lay down some rage, but as I was told, I might want a Pizza from there again one day!! ;):D
