Walking rage.

"that's illegal". It's not you daft cow. Public place! His response should've been "You're being illegal"!

Was a case of road rage in bath, England the last thing anyone else was expecting? I thought it would be something to do with a bathtub. Kind of like the "Button injured in F1 accident"

YouTube roadrage hit
Wealthy businesswoman Sarah Duncan, who became the reluctant star of a YouTube viral after being filmed in a road rage incident, has been forced to call the police after receiving a barrage of abuse.

Knitwear boss Sarah Duncan was caught on camera causing huge tailbacks when she blocked a busy road in Bath, Somerset, with her Audi A5 coupe.
A passing pedestrian who filmed the incident found himself on the receiving end of a vicious tongue-lashing from Mrs Duncan, who demanded he hand over his phone.
She says: "Excuse me, I'd like to know why you have been filming me. Give me that phone. It's illegal, give me that phone.
"Who the f*** do you think you are filming me? I'm trying to get to my place of work, how dare you, you fat little lump.
"I'm trying to get to my shop to deliver goods."

Smartly-dressed Mrs Duncan continues to question the man and even claims she will tell police he assaulted her.
Her husband then shows up, giving the man ten seconds to remove the video from his phone.
Throughout the whole incident, the pedestrian remains calm and continues to film despite the duo trying their best to intimidate him.
Then, as the phone is concealed, there appears to be a scuffle as Mr Duncan repeats "Why are you filming us" 11 times.
He then says: "You upset my wife for no reason. I want to know why you're intimidating her."
He then adds "why are you intimidating my wife?" seven times before the film ends.
The whole incident, which took place in November, went viral over the weekend with thousands viewing it on YouTube.
Mrs Duncan, who runs Sarah Duncan Knitwear in Bath, has now complained to the police after receiving abusive emails and phone calls.
A spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Police said: "A lady contacted the police to complain about being harassed.
"Police are investigating to see if any offence has been committed."

This is going to be bad for her business.

Look at some of the comments on this: http://www.local-buzz.co.uk/business-reviews.php?id=1740879 they're hilarious but not good PR.

The Guardian hasn't written an article about it, just an intro paragraph and posted the video; I don't think they're reporting on it, per se, but rather reporting on viral videos/"citizen journalism". Maybe I'm wrong.

Ah, f4cking cringing.




Although, it has been said that the worst thing about England are its drive-by arguments:

(And yes, I know this is better known from Family Guy. Apparently Seth McFarlane made the above in college)
