Or no penis syndrome when it's some loopy lass ranting at you. They hate it when you laugh and ask if it's the time of the month

I had a bit of a running battle with a crazy bird on a 2 lane bypass through derby. She joined the main carriageway but then tried to move into the lane I was in but there was clearly not enough room. She did a sarcastic hand clap at me as I overtook her so I waved at her and smiled. Some people think that if they indicate they can move into space that isn’t there.Or no penis syndrome when it's some loopy lass ranting at you.

Pisses me off when it's raining and I leave a slightly bigger gap. There's always some arsehole pulls into the gap forcing me to slam my brakes on. You're right about smiling though. There's no point getting worked up

My wife's car they aren't. The only way you know the lights are on is look at the switch or a little green light on the dash.
That's raowd roije cobber?

Any driving that causes another driver to have to take avoiding action, i.e. braking, swerving, sudden lane change, is bad driving.

I do the shopping. I try to have the list in the order the stuff is in the shop if I can. The good lady is an impulse shopper. Buys stuff I don't like then lets it rot in the fridge then I chuck it out when it goes out of date
They all f***ing do that, they then whinge asking why didn't you eat it
It's even worse when they do it and you're cycling as they just pull across irrespective of any space being there. I had one guy hit me as he did it then blamed me as he indicated and I should've gotten out of his way
Lots of newer cars are like this as they are electronic dashes quite often, you can't tell in out lasses car either

I stopped and gave him a couple of car lengths to complete his turning manoeuvre.
He then reversed on the wrong side of the road towards me, the only way I could have moved out of his way would have been to reverse about 50 yards on the wrong side of the road as there were cars parked all the way up the other side.
I did stop, I waited, then he pulled forward which allowed me enough space to pass. It was only as I passed that I knew he had a problem which was a problem entirely of his own making.
Unfortunately the world doesn't stop when you decide to make half arsed manoeuvres which obstruct other road users going about their business.

I had some yesterday, all very odd.
I came out of my Ma's at Silksworth just after 12 to drive home to get changed for the match. Drove past the Comrades club turned right into the narrow street, as always lots of cars parked on the right, my right of way of the left.
I get about 50 yards up the road and there's this about 30 year old bloke doing a turning manoeuvre involving the back lane. I stopped a couple of car lengths from the back lane and eventually he starts reversing down the road towards me. He gets about a cars length away, I'm hovering over my horn to warn him but he stops.
He pulled back forward half into the lane at about a 45 degrees so I pulled forward to pass but as I got level he jumped out of the car fffing and blinding and as I looked into my mirror confused he's standing in the road cussing, hopping mad shaking his fists. I burst out laughing and drove off.
I chuckled all the way home thinking;
A. What was he trying to do?
B. How was I supposed to know what he was trying to do?
C. What was he expecting me to do and why was he so angry
I've just put it down to Xmas rage / still in black eye Friday mode. If it was you, calm down (in the Harry Enfield Scouser accent).
Anyone else had any rage related incidents this Christmas?
I used to live on dovedale Road opposite the bus stop, I had more than one person go ballistic because I had the audacity to wait to turn right into my drive while a bus was blocking their path on the inside.
I just used to laugh at the sad bastards.

Granted. Could install a mono rail. A kick ass monorail.
Christmas Eve, Tesco. I have two items so go towards the self-service checkouts. some chap with a backpack the size of a ford fiesta and his mobile clamped to his lug is slowly walking backwards towards me and blocking the entry to said self-service checkouts. I place my hand on his backpack and manouvre myself around him.
I'm halfway through scanning my items ( so that's one then) when I hear someone talking in a very loud voice. said knacker is walking around the very top of the checkouts on the 'outside' chuntering at me semi-shouting that "I shouldn't have done that" and "that's f***ing bad manners" and I'm "a bad mannered ****". At first i didn't realise who he is or what he's whining on about, so i look at him, then to the checkout assistant who's looking at him, obviously hoping it's not going to kick-off as she's obviously only about 18 or so. So i shrug and go back to my scanning (item 2). fuckface then decides he wants to continue his rant (from a very safe distance) shouting and swearing about "f***ing bad manners, you ****".
having scanned all my shopping (both items) I decide to ask him what he's on about - politely. He vents for another 10 seconds via the medium of foul language at which point i, again politely, advise him the only one of the two of us who has bad manners is the one shouting filth in Tesco in front of women and children, "but I'll be finished packing and paying in a second". He sharp fucked off. The lass was pissing herself.
weird.

Moral of the story? Make sure you see the driver of the other car before you antagonise them with any hand gestures
Posted on here the other month, driving through Shoreditch when oncoming traffic came to a stop.
I believe this old merc had beeped at a car and its 3 x 5 ft wanabee gangsters got out n started giving it the big un.
What happened next was unreal. This 7 foot russian looking beat calmly got out of the merc, you could see their arses go immediately but it was too late. He launched the first with a boot in the stomach, ragdolled the other two at the same time then calmly drove off. Was f***ing beautiful to watch!

Not so much road rage but the other month it was absolutely belting down with rain as I was going onto the A19 slip road at the 183. Someone in a C4 Picasso undertook me, caused an Audi in the middle lane to stamp on his brakes as he went flying in front of him.
10 seconds later as I’d moved into the outside lane the whole lane comes to a halt. C4 man has piled into the back of a stationary car. No idea why people drive like that in the pouring rain.

Was let out by a lady the other day. I waved thank you. She waved back and mouthed 'you look like you are hung like a donkey.'
No road rage.
The above is very very true and just for a bit of balance.

To be honest if yee were flashing in front of my car, then I'd want it to be as dark as possible so as not to see that!

I'd have done the same thing as you, sounds like he choose to turnaround in a very poor spot. I've seen some stupid driving over the festive period.

St Anthony's School on a morning. I had to ring the Deputy Heed and mention that the bloody PARENTS are going to be responsible for the death or maiming of one his pupils very soon if he didn't put an end to kids being dropped off on the zig zags. It's f***ing incredible that people should do such a thing on such a busy / tight road with traffic (road and foot) going in numerous directions.

Odd that innit ? Mine will come on in dull, cloudy conditions but not fog .
I park as far from the entrance as possible to reduce the chances of some dope in a £100 banger damaging my git flash car .
