I guess none of you boys live in London.
Fu**ing speed humps.
We've even got speedhumps that have potholes.

I actually got out of my car and took someone to task for it after they barged in front of me......and guess what. Doors were locked. Windows wound up. Wouldn't look at or acknowledge me. Stared straight ahead. Spineless cluckin runt, as well as an arrogant cluckin runt. Would they do that in a Post office queue and risk a beating? On reflection I shouldn't have done that, but it's just the bare faced arrogance of just pushing in with no "thanks" hand gesture, nothing.....grrrrrr. Utter gusset stain.

Had one like this two days ago. Here we were, a situation where the outside lane closes off - I'm on the inside lane, queuing along with others, when this car comes alongside trying to jump the queue, and had the cheek to blast their horn when I wouldn't let them in. Blasted my horn back and looked in the mirror and surprised to see there's this stupid b1tch in the drivers seat, hand gestures and the like...... Her passenger / boyfriend/ partner/ whatever looking very sheepish though. Such arrogance.
I used to think that women were much better drivers than men, but seems there's now a general 'attitude' generation coming on all about me; me; me....

I had one yesterday. It's ignorant / arrogant / unconsiderate / impatient drivers.
So, I was queuing in the RH lane to go right on a roundabout in town. Indicator on, traffic was coming from the right which then filled and blocked my exit. Somehow, I must have missed a miniscule gap to force my way through the queuing traffic, to which the 'gentleman' in the VW UP behind took exception to. Cue some beeping and gesticulating from his side.
Utter prat. Where on earth do you expect me to go when cars are blocking me. And then, round the next corner, we arrive at another queue. Your beeping and gittishness wouldn't get you anywhere sooner. Maybe to your heart-attack...
Chill the f*** out. Make progress when you can, and be polite. Somewhere you'll get repaid with someone letting you out of a junction, etc.
Rant mode off...

You raise a good point there because I'm finding more and more it's the women who are the aggressors these days!! Well, apart from the typical shaven headed, middle aged Essex builder type in a big black X5 who took exception to some assertive driving on my part the other day. 'Assertive' meaning I got into a gap before he did, and it made his penis shrivel up apparently. He threatened to shoot me, and stab me (for good measure), in front of my girlfriend etc blah blah.....all the biggest threats in the world.....and then he drove off after having his near coronary explosion.......but anyway, yeah, women!! Maybe they aren't getting any from their boyfs/husbands? :grin:
And yep, the people like her getting angry because their attempts at queue barging failed is on the rise. Self important arrogant fckwits. Who knows where all this hostile combat driving will end, but I predict road rage is only going to increase the more crowded the roads get.

I shouldn't laugh. Obviously having a bother-boy threaten you with death isn't a lighthearted matter, but the way you put it really made me chuckle.
Do you write, or have you even written professionally? Serious question. I get the impression you're not shy of that kind of thing.
Anyway, post of the day for me
