what do people get out of shouting abuse from cars at people they don't even know?

    this happened to me the other day, a car drove past full of lads, one of them hanging out the window, head like a turnip, his face a shade of red that almost exactly matches the car, roars his lungs out calling me a ******. wow, he must be proud of himself.

    what is it with people like this? what the hell is the point? what do they get out of it?

    I would be, ****** is really hard to say. It doesn't even have any vowels.

    No, he called her a *******, not a ******, which is much worse to be fair


    EDIT: Oh no sorry you were right. I can't count

    Was wondering how many posts in this was going to be said. 2 :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,689 ✭✭✭✭OutlawPete


    It all depends whats said and who said it.

    If it's racist, then they get to be racist to your face (ish) and their mates will be backslap them and who knows, if there was a racist chick in the car, they could get laid for saying it.

    So ultimately, they could potentially get quite a bit from it, unfortunately.

    On the other hand, it could just be quite funny and so they will take great pride in having done it, it was being a classic and all, something that they will tell to their friends for many a year to come.

    I myself was once* a victim of such a drive by slagging and in fact, to this day I find it one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

    *No, I ain't telling :p

    The Doppler Effect totally owns them though, forcing them to say what they want to say very quickly or else they risk missing their target


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 116 ✭✭deepsouthtalla


    maybe they want to be "Hard Men" in front of there mates

    You should't have called him a red faced turnip head thats an insult to one of my favourite veggies. How about ruddy swede nutter and add a bit of racism to the story...

    At least I think the six asterisks represented a word that could be so regarded.

    If he managed to hit you with an egg from a moveing car then I say fair play, He should play intercounty GAA with accuracy like that.

    I was motoring down Dawson, and a Honda Civic was in front with a load of scobes, you know the type, ball caps pushed well back, inane grins on their stupid acne-ridden faces,all having a 'great time.

    There was a chubby lass cycling on a pedal cycle,saddle buried up her ass cheeks, and obviously well greased and lubed with box lard.

    One fcuker leans out the window and goes..." Lardie!!!... if you are ever selling that saddle..."

    Then away with grins of achievement.


    Pikey fooks.

    A Wicklow youth blinded a nurse in one eye by throwing a egg at her from a passing car, Dublin Circuit Criminal Court has heard.

    David Morgan (aged 18) was out “egging” with his friends when he hit the woman as she was out for a walk.

    The victim had previously rejected an offer of €10,000 compensation. Judge Katherine Delahunt adjourned the case until next month to find out if she will accept the money going to charity instead.

    Morgan, of The Green, Woodbrook Glen, Bray, pleaded guilty to assault causing harm to Ms Ann Dooley on the Bray Road on March 26, 2008.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,072 ✭✭✭PeterIanStaker


    These sh!theads in a boy racer skangermobile threw an egg at me when I was jogging. Not exactly shouting abuse but same level of stupidity.

    Perhaps they hadn't mastered speech and were still at the "urrgggh . . . throw" stage.

    At least I was putting my sportswear to good use.

    Racism isn't funny, but sticks and stones....
    Seriously though, if you care what people think it doesn't say much for the life you live

    I was walking through a park with my girlfriend and a mate on Saturday, two teenage boys were making "sex noises" behind us for about 5 minutes, it was discomfiting but in fairness they were pretty good at making them.

    Are you suggesting its ok, bollo**s

    I'd say they practice a lot when they're by themselves.

    .........and according to this he got 240 hours of community service for blinding a woman permanently. Well done Judge :rolleyes:, 6 months picking up soap in the showers in Mountjoy might have helped him too.

    Lord knows.
    I was walking up Harcourt St last week with the wife when some fool driving by, stuck his head out the window and roared at my wife (I won't repeat what he said).
    I put it down to the fact that every country has its small percentage of plain idiots.
    What can you do but ignore the uneducated fools!
