Q: I'm dead now. Bad luck.

Yeah, I was riding along the road earlier and suffered a serious setback.  It shouldn't have happened, but......TIC!

The road was slightly downhill and heavily downwind, so I was going real fast.  But then, suddenly, disaster!  

I rode straight into an open drain in the road.  The bike disappeared underneath me and I was catapulted into a concrete lightpost.  Hit it head first and obviously it split me open like a watermelon.  I was killed instantly.  

As I said before, bad luck.

But this was no accident...it's the fault of people who have no brains and to complement their stupidity they don't give a fuck about anyone else.  Many people in China...far too many to give a shit about any of them.  Leave a huge deep hole in the middle of a highway and so what!  Fukem.  The people.  The police, as we all know only too well, are very very busy...very very tired.  Certainly so much so that they can't face up to the basic tenets of their chosen profession...ie; upholding the law and protecting the populace.  Gees the coppers in this country are such bags of shit.  Doesn't anybody in authority give a stuff that the very people supposed to.....

Ah, stuff it.

 

Anyhow, now I'm not happy.  Something just has to be done about this!  Someone has to be made to pay!  I mean, I'm dead fer crissakes!

Why don't the people demand more from their leaders?  What's wrong with these lemming like idiots!

 

Actually...in point of actual fact... I'm the luckiest bastard in the world.  

Because I didn't ride into the damn hole....instead I swerved maniacally into the path of a bunch of heavy trucks and by some miracle none of them hit me and I didn't fall off the bike and get crushed to death.  A miracle for sure.  You should have seen it.  I just don't know how I got out of that.

So anyway, I'm not dead.  Yahoo!

But I'm bloody angry.  These open drains are all over this stupidest of countries.  

Sometimes you see that some arsehole has shoved some long sticks into the hole to announce its presence but most of the time they're just there...as if they're waiting for bikes, cars, whatever to fall down into them.

 

This is seriously stupid but I wonder if any of you out there can cop this challenge.....

Nominate something that's even stupider about Chinese life!

Sorry about your day. On the other hand, I purchased a beautiful authentic Xinjiang BBQ yesterday. It's a wonderful heavy iron skillet, big enough to cover a manhole!

Heats up great and cooks a family-sized meal all at once.

 

 

royceH:

Well done, Bear.

For best results play authentic Uyghir or Kazakh music while you're cooking up.

I learnt the position of each and every drain hole in the roads I usually drive. Quite a lot. And on new ones I'm extra careful.

Hey Royce I feel your pain... well I did... literally. 

 

There was HUGE gaping hole in the middle of the highway. Amazingly, I checked recently and it is fixed NOW... anyway.... 

 

I was driving down the road at 100 kmp/h on my motorcycle (at night) and I saw it... no time to swerve... I hit the breaks as fast I could and saw I got down to like 70 before the bike hit the hole and tipped over... the bike flew off to the side and I just took the fall. 

 

Destroyed my shoes, my jacket, my shirt, my pants... luckily I got away with some scrapes and sores (pretty bad scrapes but I hate hospitals and I am superman damn it!)... After I did about 10 rolls on the pavement (luckily no cars)... I did what any concerned motorist would do... 

 

I immediately checked my motorcycle and apologized for hurting it lol. angel

I nominate Indonesian life, please feel free to come there and see by yourself. That drain will be the least of your worries, we have big ass holes with 1.5 m diameter on our roads (even on the capital). Of course it is more exciting and challenging on the suburb and mountain range, and as a bonus most of the times on the road on the mountain range there are no fence or something like that on your left or right.

Few years back in Guangzhou 3 mates of mine were out on the piss.  They'd had a skinful in the Hill Bar & safely negotiated the begging kids on the footbridge across Huanshi Dong Lu.  So they start to stagger down Jian Shi Lui Ma Lu....happy & slightly jiu gui. Next minute the guy in the middle suddenly drops....down the manhole that some cunt had left the cover off! My mate was so lucky...10 meter drop into the finest of Guangzhou's sewers...he partly fell into the hole as the 2 guys with him managed to grab an arm each. Never seen so many bruises but at least he didn't fall all the way. I didn't think you could earn so much from the scrap value of an iron manhole cover!

HA!  You mean they steal them!  That didn't occur to me.  I just presumed the workers who fiddle with them are incompetent in the extreme.

But how do they melt them down?  Surely if they prevailed upon a legitimate business to this end they'd be dobbed in to the coppers!  Wouldn't they?
