Letting off steam
16 years ago
Alright, something of an angry rant post, I'll take it down later if I happen to calm down and think this is a stupid idea, but here goes.
Alright, I was cycling home and came up to a busy junction, I was tired from cycling up several hills along the way. I was on the road obviously and I weaved through the cars to the appropriate lane. Then light turns green and I cycle to turn left, only there's a few oncoming cars so I brake but shuffle out of the way so the cars behind me can move past me. Then some bastard drives past, pulls his window down and calls me a prick. I'm just not used to that, what kind of cowardly git insults someone and then immediately drives away? I'm sorry I inconvenienced you for ten fucking seconds as I moved out of the way so I don't get ground under the treads of oncoming cars, evidently whatever it is he was late for is more important than me not dying.
*sigh* I know I was a bit stupid, I should have just got off the bike and used the pedestrian crossings, but as far as I'm concerned that doesn't justify the insult. I guess I'm just a little upset by it, well very upset then.
Rant over.

It's always annoying what this sort of thing happens, but remember that they're the immature gits if they feel the need to go out of their way to do this stuff, it's usually best to take a moment to try and cool off and then try to shrug it off.
And, well... it's common everyday traffic over here
I'm glad your ok there and you didn't experience a more serious version of road rage x.x .
