Road Rage - not my fault... I think!

Imp

I had parked up in a hospital car park, and on returning to my car found a woman in a large 4x4 had parked out of a space, making it impossible for me to drive forward out of my parking space (I had reverse parked). Luckily she was still with her car, so I asked her to move so I could leave the car park. She condesendingly replied "you can get that little car of yours out of that space". I drive a Clio.

I offered her my keys, and suggested that she drove my car out of the space, to which she replied, "I can't do that, I'll end up denting my car"???????

She then moved her car 10 yards so I could leave, and then she got a real parking space.

I have to admit - I love to wind up nasty people like these when I have the misfortune of meeting them on the road.

I love the fact that so often they are really aggressive or rude but too dumb to realise the person they're doing it to is in the position to mess them around more...

Perfect example is tailgaters.... When someone is really aggressive and nearly ramming me off the road on a dual-carriageway or motorway, funnily my speed suddenly matches that of the inside car - for several miles. Ha ha!

I've had similar things as above happen in supermarkets... Recently, in an 80% empty car park I had someone beep at me to hurry up and get out of 'their' space (it was light rain and I was near to the entrance). I was on my motorcycle and, much to their annoyance, spent ages putting my gloves on etc. Of course, had to let the engine warm up to. They finally got p'd off enough to move on (all on 50 meters). Funnily enough, I was ready to leave at this point!

If it was me in the supermarket with the VW van, I'd have said: 'OK, sure I'll move!'. Fumbled with my keys a bit, waste some of their time.... Reverse about 4 inches or so... and then switch of the engine. TROLLOLOLOLOLOL!

You are part of the problem not part of the solution, sheite happens live with it but don't react to it in that way.


Remember the scene in the old clint eastwood movie when the truck ran over the line of bikes?????:eek::eek::eek::T:T:T

Take care.

Haha! Whatever...

Nasty, horrible, aggressive road users are the problem. I refuse to let them get me stressed and ruin my day. I treat road users who behave like that just like a toddler having a tantrum - stand back, let them blow it out, and have a good laugh.

People like this want to bully and harass innocent people, and I'll be damned if they'll do it to me. They make themselves look like right t*ts and I just sit back and enjoy the show.

It sounds like they do stress you and ruin your day. Else you wouldn't feel the need to post about it.

Not really, I was just responding to the OP. If I had started some thread about it then your point would hold.

Got to love these forums - people will find anything to argue about or disagree with!

pacific, I hope you're not floating around in the outside lane of dual carriageways and motorways, because that's bad driving, and if someone does fly up behind you, you should move over.

The OP should chill out and not take things to heart as others have said.

However, it is not quite clear here what happened. The OP said that the van driver wanted him to move forward.

Was the OP able to do that and thus give the van driver a space to park his van?

You may be still anrgy about this incident, but maybe you should punch a few cuhions or something rather than take out on posters here.

I'm not going over it all again.

I'm glad I'm not the only person here who gets annoyed by that. :mad:

I can only remember one post on here where somebody got mine right.

Get a dashboard camera!!! £20-£30 on ebay, i have one front and rear. they are plugged into the front and rear car power sockets, turn on and start recording when you turn the ignition on, turn off when you turn the ignition off. Both have rechargeable batteries, You put an SD memory card in and they loop record in 15 minutes segments, then overwrite the oldest file, so you dont have to worry about the card getting full. They also have infrared light which come son automatically. Search ebay for "dashboard camera"

Absolutely brilliant devices!!
