Country:  | I had the same last Friday too - the guy deliberately sped up to scare me, so I deliberately kept walking. He missed me by about 5 cm. I was so close I gave him the finger right at his window. | |

Country: | Funny- the weather's nice but I can't open the windows because there's a city Work crew right under the window taking all day to paint two cross walks, well I guess that's what will be doing after standing around for the last four hours and yelling at each other. Can't enjoy the warm weather and open the windows and air out the place due to the diesel fumes though.
Gotta Love DC...
Be careful guys..I saw a lady killed on this very crosswalk by a truck not going that fast last fall, it's a sight and sound you never want to hear.

Country:  | This isn't what annoyed me today, but it certainly did on thursday when it happened.
Someone has smashed the back of my car up. I had it parked up in the town centre for a couple of hours during the night and I come back to it to see the it's @ss hanging out - it's been hit by a car and the person who did it decided to drive away.
Luckily I know people and I'm getting it down 'cheaply' by a professional Peugeot bodywork company. I'm getting all the parts at trade price and labour at £20 per hour (which as the British will know, is very cheap). It's still costing me £360!
At the moment I'm driving a car that's stuck together with tape ! Thankfully they ordered the parts on friday when I took it in for an assessment (day after the incident, good to know people) so it will be going in for repair next week.

Country: | Ooof. Homeless in DC is NOT a good thing. Its hard enough being well employed and living in the District. Good luck Cota.

Country:  | Petrol went up again and to top it off we are back on load shedding again off the power, but they still give power to the f*cking countries around us.
