Retards On Crappy Council Roads.

[psi]

So the useless moron council have been ripping up and compacting and re-ripping up and re-compacting a 600m stretch on the road on my way home for about 8 weeks now. Stuffs me what is so freaking hard about it that they have to keep doing in every day..

today was the last straw! On my way home, i had to drive through a slush pit of a thing called a road cos they over watered the daylights out of what is supposed to be a road.. Unknown to me, i ran over one of those flap things that are kinda like 'cats eyes'.

It flapped like mad and made a massive noise! I tried to pull it off, but couldn't, so limped the rice-line home with the dreadful death rattles.

i get home and hear a VERY dreadful noise.. hssssssssssssssssssssssss.

Washed the mud off the tyre to find a huge galvinised nail holding the flap to my tyre!

This is the part where i went totally burko and ranted about the retards that the council hire and how THEY wrecked my good front tyre.. cound have been my near bald rear tyre.. ohh no! My wife hears me goin off tap and like the brilliant woman she is, hands me a nice cold wild the sphincter of the universe!

Now, so i can direct my filthy anger in the right direction.. who in the council do i shoot my profanities at? I am thinking that i should take the whole tyre with flap nailed to it, into their office and DEMAND a new one.

Where abouts did it happen? what Council Shire?

Are you sure it was Council, if not, was it main roads or the chaps working on the Northern Interconnector Pipeline.

I might be able to help you if you could tell me exactly where it happened. (dont get your hopes up though.)

Thanks

Yea.. cos i'm in Gympie doesn't mean this issue is only stuck to this region!

I rang a mate who used to work for them, and he said that it is a main-roads job that is contracted out to the local council.

He gave me a name and number to ring..

He also said that it is not the first time that this kind of thing has happen and that the council has paid for replacements before.. of course its totally up to their descression.

He told me that i should take the whole tyre in for them to inspect to re-enfroce my point!

Guess what I'll be doing on tuesday!

Stand your ground till the death. Shit happens but they should pay for it.

+1.

Keep on there case, they will pay. Main Roads in conjunction with the Shire paid $9k worth of repairs on my dads Porsche from hitting a pothole on the old M’dore bridge.
