Cars
"Here in my car", said 80s pop hero Gary Numan, "I feel safest of all". He obviously never shared the same stretch of road as me, then. Automotive tales of mirth and woe, please.

Got rear-ended on a roundabout in Oxford last January.
One of the worst experiences of my life. Well, the actual incident wasn't, it was the argument with the loss adjusters and 11 month wait to retrieve the £500 excess I had to pay in order to have my car fixed at a reputable body-shop and not the fucking rip-off merchants the insurance company put me onto.
Anyway. Pulled up at a roundabout, some guy behind me clearly not familiar with breaking, I get hit, clearly his fault. My bumper is completely buggered, not a scratch on his car. Normally I'd be pretty pissed off at the guy but I really couldn't stay angry at him for long. Turns out it was his girlfriend's mum's car which he was supposed to be "looking after" while they were on holiday.
