Minding my own business on my bike and get called a

It's summer time, the nutters are out and about.

Are yes, I am sure you are right, especially the "Suns out - Guns out" brigade.

 

[SteCenturion]

i don't even own a TV

How very dare you, Transvestites are not an object, they are not a commodity that requires ownership, they are people in their own right...



Oh..



A transvestite is for life - not just for Christmas

My reply to Peugot boy (if I got the chance) would have gone something like -

"Your wife just phoned & said, can you take her car back please" or

"Go & take it out on your boyfriend"

Something like that.

Or granny wants her car back

I had some spotty yoof give me some sort of random hand signal from his mate's Laxo...I so wanted to ask him if his mum was proud of her pizza faced, thick as pig s***, virgin son...

What's a Laxo vickster ?


& more to the point, I had you down for taking a very reasoned & business like approach..


Jeeeez - the ladies on here are gettin' feisty.

 

[vickster]

A slang term for a Saxo, cos they are so lax!

Normally I would just shake my head and sigh...and then think of all the evil things I could have said?!

Arch, I thought you were a lady?

I am, but you don't want to encounter me in a bad mood! ;-)

Don't make me angry, you won't like me when I'm angry.

I've taken to sticking my tongue out people that either honk the horn or make signs. Really upsets them for some reason

This reminds me of this comic I saw, no way of finding out if it works!

 

[Archie_tect]

I just smile and wave... and carry on- no point in me being wound up too.

I like options 2, 3 and 4.

I find that blowing a kiss at abusers really puts them off their stride.

I do that too, i have better things to do than argue with meatheads.

I got something similar when I was out the other day and I'm very, very grateful to them. I decided to give (fruitless) chase and managed to set a PR on a Strava segment Cheers, you utter tosser

Glass of Water analogy
"A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the "half empty or half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: "How heavy is this glass of water?"

Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.

She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything."

It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down!"

Never heard that one before now & as a bit of a stress head/angry man, it's one I can take away for personal use.

So ta.

 

[Cyclopathic]

I was beeped at the other day for going through some lights in primary ( it was too narrow to overtake ) so I just stopped where I was and turned to face the beeper. It was some young guy in a white bmw who was furiously mouthing something. Still stopped in the middle of the road I put my hand up to my ear to express to him that I couldn't hear him. His gesticulations became more frantic, but still I could not hear him so I gestured for him to wind down the window. (This was done with a winding gesture despite it being a modern car and probably fitted with electric windows. I thought if I just mimed pressing a button he might get confused and turn on the a.c. or something. I digress)

Eventually he wound down the window and to my surprise seemed quite agitated about something. What could be troubling this poor man so much I thought to myself and proceeded to ask him the very same. "What's the matter?" I said, whereupon he got out of his car and offered me violence, suggesting we go "over there" and fight it out. I replied that of course he must do what ever he has to do but that I wouldn't be fighting.

Short story a bit shorter he got back in his car and buggered off, not in part due, I think to the taxi driver who had stopped in the other direction at the lights saying "Hey, the cyclist has got rights too you know", and another guy coming over to inform him a note had been made of his reg.

In all I think I held him up by a good 3 or 4 minutes.
