The grumpy thread

M25. In the morning. In the 2nd of 4 lanes going towards St. Albans. 

 

Next thing this small white van that was in the 3rd lane suddenly decided it wanted to be in the 2nd lane. No indicator, just swerved over whilst about 2 feet in front of me. I flash the headlights and swear merrily to myself. He then plodded along at 55 mph. I indicated and pulled over into the 1st lane and actually undertook him, purely 'cos traffic. I gave him the wanker sign. I then pulled out in a safe manner, this put me in front of him. He proceeded to take both hands off the wheel and give me a prolonged slow clap. I gave him more of the wanker sign and I pulled back into the 1st lane. he comes along side and starts shouting and gesticulating. I tap my head in the 'your a nutter/wanker' manner. He then takes out his phone, starts filming me with one hand on the steering wheel, watching me whilst filming. I go full wanker gesture and then exit the motorway at my usual junction. Twat.

You shouldn't have given him a response. It just escalates things. Very hard not to with all the complete twats on the road I know....

Get a dashcam. I'm just playing with a GoPro clone as one atm - 42quid but I've had to butcher a phone clamp for a suction mount as they don't seem to be included. For me, has the added bonus of improving my behaviour on the road as well as being a record of other's stupidity.

Why you not blow him a kiss Ken?

 

That works a treat for entertainment.

To be fair, if anyone sees the van driver's video he could possibly get 6 points for using a phone while driving.

Spot on. Really boils my piss when people say 'Robin Reliant'. Here's another couple for you though: Why do people from Birmingham when asked where they live say 'Burr-big-ham'? I mean, they fucking live there for God's sake, surely they can pronounce the name of their home town?'Bumbers': What the fuck are 'bumbers'? People who bum you on the Humber Bridge perhaps? Oh, you meant bumPers did you? Why didn't you fucking well type that then you bastard? It's not too fucking hard is it and it's not even as if the letters 'b' and 'p' are that close to each other on your keyboard is it? Twat.'Text talk': I just want to shoot people who use that.

Now Now, No need to bring the Humber Bridge in this!!

Maybe one of their boomer mates can go and work for them. Oh no, wait, they're too good for that; it's a crap wage for them anyway. 
I'm sure they'd be thrilled if I rounded on their generation - there's fucking plenty of ammunition, after all. 

 

That would be horribly ageist of me, though, wouldn't it?
I bet they hate their kids. 

 

Did nobody teach them about actions and consequences? 

 

It's also appallingly written. "CUM AT ME BRO" rating: 0.1/10.

 

Truth be told, every generation has its bone idle dipshits. This is not a new phenomenon.  

I'm sick of my lot (who were, let's not forget, raised by baby boomers) getting slated for every ill in the world, perceived or otherwise.

I had a van driver in front of me last night on way home from work, was waiting at a junction to turn left... a gap appears and he doesnt pull out..... gap closes now have to wait again. there's a gap nope he's not gone - WTF - obviously he's sat there with his foot on the footbrake on his phone. Twat. So gave it full beans on the horn at him and then he has the decency to want to have a fight in the middle of the road... Dickhead. Lets pull over round the corner he says, yeah next week when you've finished your call and actually pulled out.

 

Hard enough getting out of this junction at best of times.... tosser - complete and utter!

 

White van was where that Yellow Lorry is.

 

Grrrr

The passive aggressive chode who revved his weedy diesel engine impatiently as I was waiting to get into a car parking space this afternoon. 
I was stopped in the passageway for cars waiting to back in. It was the one free space in a very busy retail park. 

The bloke next to me had a disabled child and was strapping her into the car. Mondeo boy could see that; I could see that. Why so impatient?

Impatience has to be the one thing that really really winds me up.

 

There is no need for it - if you have to wait then wait, whats the rush ?

His revving and beeping upset the little girl, so guess what took longer than it needed to?

Was her fault the car park was designed by a sadist? Was it her dad's? Was it mine? 

 

I hate people sometimes. 

 

"Can we show a bit of patience, please?" I asked. 

 

He carried on revving his engine, so I gave him some shit-eye. 

 

"Look what's going on, lads. Give the bloke a minute," I continued. 

 

Eventually the wee one was belted in I was able to reverse into the bay. The Mondeo stopped across us both and the window came down. 

'Fucking hell, here we go, another self-righteous tosser,' I thought. 

 

Bloke holds up his hand and apologises. 

 

Why rev your engine in the first place if you can see what's going on?

Only sometimes?  You must have met some nice ones.

Apologised did he ? Still a Grade A Tosser

 

I got beeped at the other day, was in supermarket car parking space. Strapping 1 month old into car seat which is in the middle so have to lean across as you do. I was holding up the guy next to us in the next bay, could hear him shouting and ranting - then he beeped.

 

Well that was it. 

 

Berserk mode activated. 

 

I closed the car door and went to his passenger side window to ask him what his problem was, so he reversed out of the space as quick as he could coming close to hitting the car next to him and drove off as quick as he could

 

Tosser, and not just a tosser.... but one that is obviously a steering wheel warrior who when confronted, browns his kegs.

Lucky I got an apology of sorts, really. Still wasn't impressed. 

 

I was driving a brown Triumph 2500 TC estate at the time, so that was something.

He apologised, he realised he was a dick and said sorry. I personally feel that makes him not a Grade A Tosser.

He didn't say sorry, he held his hand up. Half arsed but I suppose it's better than nothing.

When there are kids involved, he's a pratt.

Yeah thanks. A bang or two on the swede but nowt major.

Stupid BFO logging truck coming the other way in the middle of the road forced me to either head for vergetown or try my luck with a head on smashbattle.

The three hour walk home in 35C heat was the worst part.

Ouch! Get that thoroughly cleaned!

The word the medical types use is debriding, and it bloody hurts.

I have found this very funny to do at idiots

Stupid idiot in a van nearly went straight into me on the stretch of road between Newbury and the M4 today, which resulted in me beeping and flashing my lights at him ala Ronin. Think he got my point as he looked pretty damn sheepish when I went past.

That looks none too pleasant Alex..

 

Are you leaving the hateful heap there??
