What Abuse Have You Had Shouted At You Recently?

Captain Havoc

Someone saw my Captain Havoc sticker on my bike today and started to make fun of me Asking me if I had a cape, or a side kick etc.... Stayed quiet and calm and didn't remind him he's a fat prick.

im a runner myself. i was out running last summer and a group of young fellas around 16 or 17 were coming on the footpath towards me. i moved onto the road but the gang moved to the side and just as i was passing a guy screamed right in my face and just as he did it, my fist came up and caught him right in the jaw. all his mates were speechless, and just as it was sinking in and i was half a mile down the road, he started 'chasing' me and roaring abuse. i waited for him under an underpass to see if he would follow me but the 'hard' man turned around.

SPELL!!! The ones down here couldn't chew gum and walk at the same time never mind spell!

I just find it funny they end all their sentences no matter how long or short in 'bah' or 'gerl'.

i wont lie i am partial to throwing "boy" into the end of sentences myself but thats what i get for growing up 2 miles outside tralee :rolleyes:

im actually convinced that around 10 % of the population of tralee are decent people and the rest are a mixture of chavs, scum-bags and knackers, its a sad state of affairs down here i get some looks and cheek when cycling around i can tell you

I was testing out a friends new trek and was out the dublin road, out of limerick, and I was passing a halting site. There were kids playing, and one had a branch the size of him. I said to myself, here goes ....

and he actually threw the whole branch when i was right beside them. There were two lanes of traffic! i would have been mangled if i hadn't swerved and ducked, which was dangerous enough in itself. Was i shocked? not really ....

This isn't abuse as such, but: I was waiting to turn left at a coffee shop in Ranelagh and this middle-aged gent sitting at one of the tables outside asked me "Is that a ten-speed or a fifteen-speed?"

Thinking he wanted to have a conversation about my beautiful bike, as often happens, I put a foot down and replied "Ten-speed," with a smile on my face. "All these old Peugeots are."

He responded by starting to sing a tuneless little song: "Blue bike, blue bike, blue bike. Blue bike! Blue bike." It was at that point I noticed the Buckfast bottle sitting under his chair. I nodded appreciatively and moved on.

Sorry, I did tell my Da to lay off the buckfast. Glad to see hes made progress on the eurovision entry though.

We were called easy rider once in Finglas (there was two of us)

Redjeep!

Last comment I had shouted at me was from a couple of 10-12 year old lads when I cycled past in my winter tights and really bright club top.

"Does your wife know you're out in her clothes ?"

Made me laugh

"Lesbians" never gets old, had that shouted a few times when out cycling with groups of women, usually from white van man.

"Jesus you nearly got yourself killed" from someone who nearly drove into the back of me at a red traffic light last week.

My husband got "f*** off you Northern c***, do you know where you are?" from a charming taxi driver. He's Scottish.

Similarish experiences as well.

I'm only back on the back this week since a crappy incident last October. But still even though I kept my head down all week, I got the usual - "I bet you're enjoying that saddle". I swear to God men don't realise how unattractive they are when they say that.

Lovely weather for cycling isn't it?!
