Karma sucks kind of?
I usually never overtake other cars as i'm quite a carefull driver (but isn't everyone?) Anyway on the way back from a job i decided that the grandad infront of me was going far to slow for me to be able to make it back in time for my lunch so i overtook him, no worries and looking in my rearview mirror i can see him disapearing into the distance.
A few miles up the road i had to wait behind a car turning right and a quick glance in my rear view confirmed that the grandad had decided to put his foot down and had caught me up but as he was reaching for the wearthers originals in his glove box had no idea that i was stationary and ploughed into the back of me.
Karma sucks.
well actually its not that bad as i now have a "whiplash" claim going through kerching!

Thanks Colonel.
A fair few years ago I was working at popular fried poultry shop(the shame.) I was offered the chance to work in Bristol for about 4 weeks helping them open a new store, I'd just handed in my notice so was glad of the chance to get out of my store for the last month of my employment.
They put me up in a posh(ish) hotel and said i could put my food and a couple of drinks on the rooms bill as a thank you for my (lack of)hard work.
4 weeks later my food bill was over £2500 due to me having a steak and between 10-18 pints a night in the hotel bar. I didn't have to pay a penny back. Winner.
Figuring i was onto a good deal I negotiated staying on to help out for a bit longer. The bastards moved me to a cheaper hotel with no beer budget, but with a bit of negotiating with the owner i got moved to a cheaper room and spent the difference in the bar.
Result. Sad thing is though i ened up staying on to help out for another 4 years, The colonel did pay half my rent for the first 6 months tho ugh.
Sanders your alright in my book.
