4WD drivers are my pet hate on the road. They block your vision when they're parked near a street corner on a main road and you're trying to turn out of that street. They also push their way rudely in front of you knowing full well you have to give way because their car is bigger than yours. Generally I find them inconsiderate and careless.

And they take up a lot of room in parking spaces, leaving very little room to get out of your own vehicle sometimes, some are so wide they have to park over the dividing lines to give clearance.

Towies in Sydney reckon when they see an East Asian on the road, they just follow them and wait for them to crash.

Along with the middle aged women who try to 'drive', and 'park' (that's a fucking laugh, both terms extremely subjective), them like they're little cars, around town. Gets my fucking hackles up. Hubby's over compensating, (he's not a farmer, truck's spotless, so why else would he have a 4WD?), and wifeys blank and vacant. Campervan drivers too, especially the tourists, and elderly couples (60s/70s), man I've fuck near climbed out the window of my moving vehicle, more than once.....just want to grab someone's throat...and the bastards pretend they can't see or hear you.

Women driving 4WDs were a scourge when I used to have to pick the kids up from school. They would just park anywhere on the road (too hard for them to reverse park) and have several rowdy kids flailing around in the back.

Mainly the 4WD was the husband's choice for weekends but not to go off-roading, just to ferry the wife and kids around in supposed 'safety'. Meanwhile hubby had a work sedan and wifey was left to drive the kids around in the 4WD.

I am surprised there weren't more dreadful accidents involving kids.

One of my sons takes his lunch to work and I buy 'health' bars for him to add to his assortment of food. Yesterday he bit into a Nice and Natural bar and saw webbing. After closer inspection he found a maggoty thing wriggling around in the bar. Gross.

It's apparently a NZ company and I called their customer service today. I don't know how many times I had to repeat myself to her, and was getting frustrated with the process, so I finally asked to get their email address and will send them the video and pics he took of the maggot.

When he transfers the pics to me I will post them

Yes, please. And create a "Maggoty Food" thread where I can post the pudding I ate with roach wings topping.

BO,

Go social media. Name and shame the company. Photos and videos. Could go viral. They will react in hours.

I don't think I can upload the video here but here is the pesky little critter. I had to reduce the size of the pic so you can't see the webbing very well.
