On the way back from work tonight, a minute or so away from home, I got some abuse from a blode walking along the path. As I pulled away from a t-junction, this guy turned around to look. As I passed he shout, very loudly, "WANKER".

Now I am usually one for avoiding confrontation, for the fear of what might happen if it escalates. But this guy annoyed me. Maybe because he was not the usual chav type, of which you might expect this kind of behaviour.

So I turned the car around and pulled up along side him, putting on my best "I'm in control here face" and asked him if he had something to say. He kind of muttered something so I stepped out of the car and told him that "if had something to say then he could say, he should say it to my face". By the time I had finished the sentence he was walking away shitting himself.

As I said, I'm not usually one for entering into a confrontation but tonight I did and the minor power trip felt kind of good.

Still don't understand thesepeople. This is the second bit of abusive I have had in the last week or so. Previously a Harley biker shouted some abuse as he passed me in stationary traffic.

That said, the good comments out weigh the bad ones by at least 10-1.

God knows what it must be like to driver a Boxster!

I got called a poof once because I was driving a pink car. I responded So?

Anyway of course you are a wanker, unless you have a sexual problem of course

 

Maybe he knew you supported Bristol City.....! There are just people like this everywhere. I'd buen them all if I could, especially the idiots who key cars and snap off aerials! Their time will come....

 

jealousy wont get people any where. i've been called an arse hole by a greek walking along the road in town! so not only one to get called names. too pisses me off with people yelling abuse yet when you do stand up to them they run a mile!

 

Pink!!! Not sure it's abuse, but I'd have taken the piss for that!

Accepted. My right hand is my mistress!

 

another way to wind people up say in traffic after they get abusive is to blwo them a kiss! stops them in their tracks lol.

 

That's my usual road rage trick. It winds people up no end!

 

Funny you mention this, because I had a local chav kindly tell me what he thought of my car on Saturday.

There I was minding my own business taking a few photos of my car in a local park car park. Suddenly a bird pulls up in her Punto, windows down and I hear.

Fit bird: "that's a nice car"
Chavy b/friend: "no it's not, it's s**t. It's only a F**KING HONDA"

Like yourself Nick, I try to let these things slide, but I wasn't in the mood for any sh1t, espically from a chav. So I finished taking my photos and walked over to him. He was still sat in the car, when I stuck my head in the car, with my face about an inch from his. I shouted something at him. Told him that what I thought of him, and buggered off. He tried to play the big man in front of his missus. But the moral victory was mine

Feeling smug as I drove off, he shouted something typically unoriginal at me. To which I just stopped, turned to his missus, and told her she could do so much better. She smiled and nodded in argeement. He was NOT happy

Only regret was that I didn't try to get her phone number.

 

Nah, yellows for poofs

 

i always find it amusing that abuse generally always comes from pedestrians, white van man or people in shit cars.
