It’s a lot more than annoying for me, it’s the last straw.

Ever since they removed hundreds of inner-Sydney street parking spaces to build those ridiculous bike lanes, it’s been REALLY hard to find anywhere to park. In those morons’ twisted little minds, making local residents burn craploads of fossil fuels regularly driving around for half an hour (sometimes LONGER) looking for a place to park is ‘eco-friendly’?! Anyway, because of the lack of parking spaces, it REALLY sucks when people park inconsiderately - either by taking up more than one space or by parking people in. However, it happens ALL the time - and because it annoys me so much when it happens to me personally (which is VERY often), I make absolutely sure I never ever do it myself.

But here’s the thing. If I hadn’t parked my car as far forward as possible to make sure the car behind me wouldn’t have a hassle pulling out, my car would have been missed altogether.

It feels to me like the person who sideswiped my car and then pissed off, has intentionally stolen $600 (insurance excess) from me - not to mention all the time I’m going to be without a car while it’s in being repaired.

So I’m done. I’m taking this as a sign. NO more putting others ahead of myself. From now on, I’m going to be a selfish prick on the road like everyone else.

Wait, did Motorbikes just get blamed for that? I don’t think I like being blamed for having a lane to drive in…

yea they keep building these ridiculous bicycle lanes, F’ers should just stay off the road. They don;t respect the road rules (in Canberra) and generally just get in the way trying to be a part of traffic. HELLO there is a bike path . . right over there you tightypantsygetinthewaybastard.  sigh,

Its the first time i have been there.

We ran up the steps, then ran down the big path. then up the path and down the steps, then up and down the path that leads from the carpark to the base of the steps 3 times. I was shattered!
I’m going to go there once a week from now until the Tough Mudder.

Come on you know you want to do it! i cant wait, im going to get the logo tattooed on my butt when i finish (they have tattooist’s there and if you finish you can get free tattoo’s of the logo)
