SchadenfreudeThere's nothing like administering first aid to cyclist who has just spanged into the back of a milk float when you have tears of laughter running down your face. The world is just one long episode of You've Been Framed - when have you laughed at the misfortune of others?

Take care when driving on ice....not in the recent snowy conditions but a few years ago I had a subaru impreza. It's the kind of car that attracts idiots who think you are up for racing all the time..
Anyhoo I was driving fairly gingerly due to snow and ice and had a pair of chavs in their modified piece of junk literally foaming at the mouth to get passed me.
They grabbed the moment as the single road opened into a dual carriageway to fly by - not knowing that there was a roundabout within about 20 metres!
Yes I arrived at the roundabout to see their car half way across the roundabout, nose pointing about 45 degrees in the air.
I did the only decent thing and beeped and waved as I went by them.
I then did the second decent thing by going round the roundabout several times beeping and waving.

I live in Vermont in the NE USwhere it is usually pretty snowy in the winter (except for this crappy year). People who live up here get pretty used to driving in the snow and generally know enough not to drive too fast and realize that 4-wheel drive helps you go faster but doesn't help you stop. The people coming up here to go skiing are sometimes from places where the don't have much snow. It it snowed at home they would act like nuclear war hit them, but once up here in their rented cars/SUV's/Hummers they seeing everyone else driving, sithey think it is ok and they try to drive like they would back home.
Thinking we are all al bunch of dumb hicks, a lot of them get impatient with how slowly we drive and pass you and fly off at full speed, as often as not then ending up in a ditch a short way down the road. Many people who a truck or SUV that could pull a car out of a snowback always carry a big chain to pull people out with. For $50, minimum, more if they were real assholes. Money up front.
If they refuse to pay, you can drive off. The look of panic is worht the loss of money.
