[Closed] Moral question of the day....

why not jsut leave a polite note on the window saying "hey, i noticed your tyres are looking pretty bald, at the moment its 3 points for each tyre under the limit and a fine... i know how easy it is not to notice bald tyres, but the police seem to be much quicker to notice than us normal drivers! hope you dont mind the note... just thought it might help :)"

?

nice and polite, havent left your name or anything, then if you notice it continue to drive with bald tyres then you know you're dealing with someone who is driving knowing they're not safe.. then its time to rethink the polite approach, but until then everyone seems to be working on a lot of assumptions about a car/driver.

Neither - I just have a very different world view to you.

I think that is outrageously selfish. I have intervened a couple of times in that sort of situation. I am no fighter but I do believe in do as you would be done by and in helping folk where I can.

I have not lived a sheltered life at all. However I think you are a selfish morally deficient person if you could walk on by while some is being beaten. You would be happy if someone didn't come to your aid when needed?

You see it as logic - I see it as justifying your selfish attitude.

If it was you the victim and people did not come to your aid then would you be content?

I'd certainly understand if no one came forward. It's big bad world out there and how would your wife feel if she was left without a husband/ dad, just because you tried to help me?
Proud at a later date, doubtless, but F*Ing devastated for a very long time. And pride doesn't pay the bills

TJ - here's one for you

You're busy with your usual morning spent looking around the side of your net curtains when you notice a criminal has parked with one of his wheels on double yellows

now here's the question ........
what's the phone number of the local traffic warden office?

Rhetorical. Its on speed dial.... 😀

Worry about things you can change. Leave a very polite anonymous note and move on.

It's big bad world out there

To a large extent because of attitudes like yours, U31.

why not wait for the cars owner to return - and have a private word then?

That way he can tell everybody else where you work just what an old dinner-lady you are. Though i imagine they would already know.

In the meantime, try to get a life.

So Manson, i'm now the one breaking in to your house, mugging your wife, poking your teen daughter and injecting her with crack?

I think you'll find you a wrong mate, Very very wrong, but you justify it however you like and keep burying your head in the sand.

U31, are you a robot, you seem to have absorbed a load of personality traits from a few of the louder STWers, I recognize some of my own invective in there. It's not a critisicm, just an observation. I feel sure you are the creation of a computer program or of the mind of a pastiche writer who said "I know lets create an STW persona who is a mix of Ton, Cynic-Al, Molgrips, TJ, PP, Toys19, davetaylforth,macavity and a load of others and see how long it takes for the STW collective to catch on

I came from and survived a far worse forum then this, BITD it really did have sharp pointy teeth, but now not even a nasty suck....

Ask Rusty Nissan, of this Parish, how meself and a very naughty policeman got ourself barred from an ambulance drivers forum... 😳

STW Voltron.

Why put yourself in harms way for a stranger.

Because I'm not a coward. Or you, something I'm quite glad about.

Not that you care though.

Just googled ... U31, not a sausage. Once upon a time the first 50 hits would be despicable inhumane postings from me.... sigh..

Older and wiser now...

Elf, mate, i make you right... I don't! 😆

You cared enough to post that reply though didn't you, eh? Ha ha! 😆

Good troll btw.

Aww shucks. Your going on top. And dont push back....

That robot doesn't have a big enough beer belly to be an STWbot.

This one does..... 😀

Car now back in carpark again, so it's definitely in use. Judging by where it is then they've gotta work a shift pattern (it's up top end of carpark like last night) so that implies telesales staff so I can give them benefit of doubt re. skint this month.

A polite note on the windscreen when I cycle past (presuming a valid tax disk of course...) then I shall let good karma happen....

I mean if he's the kind of guy who would disrespect the law with regard to tyres maybe he disregards the law in other ways.

Yeah, maybe they impersonate Chelsea pensioners on the weekends...

I'll bet he's black. And an illegal immigrant. Wearing a bhurka.

Disabled asylum seeking benefit claimant?

Yeah, maybe they impersonate Chelsea pensioners on the weekends...

😀

Excellent.

I's shop them without thinking twice.

No excuse for bald tyres - as dangerous as drunk driving.

Is it moral to conduct a kick-U31 frenzy just because he's selfcentred ?

A few have tried... i might speak mildy but i have a large dick...

...or is he asking for it ?

Dunno, he has a fair bit of 'clout' in his local community apparently.

I just think he desperately wants to be loved. The poor mite. 🙁

Besides, you shouldn't kick a man when he's down.

Just give the details of the car to the Police and be done with it, no point leaving silly notes the owner probably doesn't care about the state of the car anyway.

I'm always asking for it, but surf mat scares the bejaysus out of me, so i'd run away from him..

Elf, i dont live there anymore.... and the bloke who did was some arsehole wearing my skin

No. If someone hits your car in a "private" car park, how do you think you're still able to claim on their insurance? Or would you not?

I was told this information by local police BTW when my missus car was hit by someone in a carpark who left false details, they pretty much said if she could ID who had hit her car then they'd assist in sorting things out (fail to stop etc). Sadly she didn't and was left with a £700 insurance claim on a new car.

So not a private car park then, otherwise access would have been restricted and the public not allowed to enter and the culprit found with relative ease.

I know someone who steals and sells stolen bikes best not to say anything apparently as he has not touched my bikes. Cheers STW
