And is there any relationship to how you act behind the wheel and behind your keyboard when on Hibs.net?
Let's be honest, we all have our moments behind the wheel. I personally hate the drivers that constantly drive in the outside lane and will not move over for anyone, with the result that the aggressive driver drives inches away from their rear bumper to force them to move. Or the driver who drives for miles in the middle lane on a motorway and refuse to pull over into the slow lane. And what about the HGV who takes 3 miles to overtake a fellow HGV driver - what's all that about? HGV drivers should be forced to drive between the hours of midnight and 6am.:stirrer:
It then made me think, is there any link between driving style and how we handle ourselves on Hibs.net. A well known paper gave seven driving styles and you can see the link between posting styles on Hibs.net.
The Teacher: This driver feels the need to ensure others know what they have done wrong – and expects to be recognised for their efforts.
The Know-it-all: They think that they’re surrounded by incompetent fools, so shout condescendingly at other drivers while safely cocooned in their own car.
The Competitor: They need to get ahead of other road users and become annoyed when someone gets in their way. They often accelerate when someone tries to overtake them or close a gap to prevent anyone from getting in front of them.
The Punisher: These motorists want to punish other drivers for any perceived transgressions – and sometimes even get out of their car or approach other drivers to remonstrate with them.
The Philosopher: They accept the actions of other drivers easily and try to rationally explain them away. They also manage to control their feelings in the car.
The Avoider: They consider the misbehavior of other drivers impersonally and merely dismiss them as a hazard.
The Escapee: They listen to music or talk on the phone to insulate themselves, distracting themselves so that they don’t have to relate to other road users. This strategy also helps avoid getting frustrated in the first place.
So what type of Driver (poster) are you? What type of driver annoys you?
NOTE: this thread is meant to be self deprecating and a bit of fun!! Let's be honest, we're a mix of them all.
