Annoyances

[Johnny English]

Left my car parked in the car port under my house overnight with the roof down. Went out today to find that some queynte has gone through the glove box and centre console looking for anything worth nicking; there wasn't, but they have busted the release catch in doing it. (Although the thick lady garden completely ignored $1500 worth of Jeep roof and windows just sitting there.)

Considering selling up, moving to a private development in Florida and buying several firearms.

Did they at least leave their crack pipe for you?

No. Garage is British/Canadian for garage. This is a car port:



And as can be seen from the Wikipedia article, it's an entirely American term and invention.

[Miamipuck]

Hahahahah freaking Americans don't even know their own inventions.

To be fair, car port does sound very British. They do call tailgates "picnic in the car park" after all.

No, cars are called motorized rollinghams.

We call tailgates "why the freak are you standing in the car park in the shitty weather when you could be getting wankered in the pub like freaking human beings?".

really ,what the freak is the point of a car port? I thought the same thing as SFD when i read it (assumed it was British, not canadian though)

It's just part of the driveway with a roof over it. The car isn't completely protected from the elements and someone can still steal it. That house is retarded

[Badger]

It's better than nothing.

It allows you to get from house to car and vice versa without having to deal with the elements. It means that in winter you don't have to dig your car out. And it allows you to have windows that let light into the house on the same wall as the vehicle.

I'm sorry that it annoys you so much though. If this is what retired life does to you, maybe you should go back to work.

I have a shared carport in the back of my condo and this dumb hipster bitch always forgets to take her trash to the street, so it always smells like dead bodies.

Why does she have so many dead bodies in her garbage?
