    Generally i am a calm, quiet and rational person...that is until i get in my car. I frequently lose the head and have been known to get out of the car and scream, rant and rave about peoples stupidity on the road.
    This backfired on me a few years ago when i started freaking out because someone was driving up the ass of my car, when i got to the lights i threw open the door and walked back to the car behind me, smacked the drivers window and was just about to let out a string of abuse when i looked at the driver and saw a frail approx 80 y/o women who looked like she was gonna have a stroke on the spot. I quickly retreated back to the car and drove off feeling guilty. However i still continue to scream and swear at stupid drivers... ie people that cut me up, don't indicate, drive too slow in the fast lane etc.

    So are you like this....
    Is this normal or do i need psychiatric assessment?

    1. Breathing slowly.
    2. Counting.
    3. Classical music or any tunes you like.

    They work. Believe me! :pac:

    I'm kinda sickened it was an old woman that surprised you in the car Tbh. Pity it wasn't some lunatic fighter fella and he kicked the arse off ya.
    No problem with people having a little whinge because of other road users but the over reacting road warriors wreck my bulb.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,104 ✭✭✭easyeason3


    I always do this especially to people too slow to get off a roundabout etc.
    Are they waiting for a fcuking invitation?
    But I don't blow the horn or get out to people though. I'll just sit there stewing in my own importance.

    i would be like that a bit, but not to the point that i get off my car and abuse other drivers. there is a significant risk that i could pick a wrong person and end up driving my own wheelchair for the rest of my days. life's full of surprises you know...

    i hope we never meet on the road.

    Having a swear at poor driving by others = fine.

    Getting out of your car and hitting someone elses car just drops you into the scummer/retard section of society. I've no time for that behaviour.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,704 ✭✭✭squod


    drive too slow in the fast lane etc.

    Hope you're posting from another country OP. Another country that has fast lanes. Over here we have overtaking lanes, only to be used when overtaking!!!!! (:mad:)

    My curiosity is piqued! How does the OP get to have four filled in stars same as Biggins underneath her but she's new and only got a few posts under her belt and what do the stars mean anyway. :confused:


    As to the topic, I have a bad temper both in and out of the car.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    Tbh if you keep getting out of your car and swearing at people OP it's just a matter of time before you get a 'boot' in the 'gearbox'!

    That'll teach ya :rolleyes:

    Aw, I thought this thread was going to have a cool story more along the lines of this: http://tinyurl.com/6jlqgw6


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,125 ✭✭✭westendgirlie


    A PETTY row over driving slowly away from a set of traffic lights resulted in Ireland's first road-rage killing.
    Two drivers clashed verbally as they made off in the same direction.
    But the disagreement turned ugly when one driver grabbed a hurley from the boot of his vehicle and attacked Englishman Raymond Bates, hitting him several times on the head and body.
    Mr Bates died in hospital on Thursday night after the attack in Sandymount, south Dublin, on Sunday evening.
    Gardai are now awaiting the outcome of a post-mortem examination on the body of the victim before deciding on their next move.
    The post-mortem was due to have been carried out yesterday but was delayed pending the arrival of his medical records from his native England.
    The 49-year-old victim was battered on the head and body with a hurley after an earlier verbal confrontation with the driver of another vehicle.
    Mr Bates had been living in a rented apartment in Sandymount, where he was working with a construction company laying a gas pipeline.
    He was a regular visitor here on contract work and spent the rest of the time with his family in a three-bedroomed, semi-detached house at Dinting Road, Peterlee, Durham.
    Gardai are following a definite line of inquiry and have already interviewed the driver of the other vehicle involved in the incident.
    The man, who left the scene after the clash, spoke to gardai after his vehicle was traced.
    Relatives and friends of Mr Bates, who had travelled from England to be at his bedside in Beaumont Hospital, returned home yesterday afternoon.
    There were emotional scenes prior to their departure as they gathered at the Regency Hotel, close to the airport.
    Mr Bates's wife, Brenda, who was on crutches, and the couple's three sons were hugged by friends. Many of the group were visibly upset and some were in tears.
    A man identifying himself as Mr Bates's brother told the Irish Independent that they were too devastated to comment on the tragedy.
    Meanwhile, neighbours of Mr Bates in Peterlee spoke of their shock over the death.
    A friend of the family delivered a condolence card to the house yesterday afternoon. He said: "I'm sending a card to Brenda to say how sorry I am to hear about her husband. Ray was a happy-go-lucky kind of man. They are a nice family."
    The road rage incident -- the first in Ireland to result in a death -- took place at the junction of Sandymount Road, Newbridge Avenue and Tritonville Road in Sandymount, at around 7.25pm on Sunday.
    Argument
    It stemmed apparently from an argument between the drivers of two vehicles as they took off in the same direction from a set of traffic lights.
    One driver was unhappy that the other was not moving quickly away and it resulted in an exchange of words.
    The driver of the other vehicle-- who was accompanied by two passengers, including a child, and who is from the locality -- then jumped out and grabbed a hurley from the boot.
    He began striking Mr Bates's car on the bonnet and when the Englishman got out of the car, he was struck several times on the head and body with the hurley.
    The driver of the other vehicle did not remain at the scene after the incident.
    Mr Bates returned home, but was unwell the next morning and feeling disoriented. A friend sought help and Mr Bates was taken by ambulance to St Vincent's Hospital but was later transferred to Beaumont where he died on Thursday night.
    A number of witnesses have already been interviewed by gardai and officers are now seeking passengers on a No 2 bus, which passed through the area at the time.

    Anyone who witnessed the incident has been asked to contact gardai at Irishtown garda station, tel 01 6669600

    Rant and Rave in your own car but seriously, what makes you think you're any better at driving?

    OMG! You get out of your car? You almost attacked an old lady? :eek: You have probably taken away her confidence and now she will be forever housebound because of your behaviour. Feel ashamed. Feel very ashamed. I get annoyed about the same things but the worst I would do would be to flash lights and beep at them....

    OP,you are a muppet of the highest order.You should always look in the mirror to see who has peeved you before doing anything.

    When you were approaching the ladys car you had to have seen how elderly she was.You are failing on a couple of points so far but the most telling one, is that call yourself a female.

    Sad sign of the times when wimmens are becoming so aggressive.You are an anomaly though,as I find female drivers(crap:pac:)more willing to apologise and acknowledge mistakes in traffic.

    You are a mad bint and I pray that you dont have kids,you warrior of the roads.

    Never,ever,leave your car.

    Yeah, as much as I'd like to give someone a bollocking for being a **** driver, I'm also aware that there are some very, very dangerous loopers out there who will be quite happy to give you a fast pass to an early grave should you give them an excuse.

    Not worth it.

    OP, deep breaths and never get out of the car. You'll either kill or be killed.

    That's it exactly. No matter what another car driver does to you as soon as you get out of your car to remonstrate you're in the wrong and a Garda will crucify you for it saying it's road-rage and that you're taking the law into your own hands. Best thing to do is count to ten, and if it's still a big deal then report the other driver to the cops.

    A couple of months ago I was practically ran off the road by another driver, my own vehicle at the time was faster than his and I could have went after him, but I didn't. About 3km up the road the same guy was pulled in at the side of the road by an unmarked Garda car with blue lights flashing. Justice was served.

    I notice the OP hasn't posted lately on this thread. Maybe she's realised that she's a psychopathic scumbag?
