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

Links234 · 22-08-2010 03:31PM #1

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
Carry on...

they think they're all cool and shmadt in front of their equally educationally sub-normal camarades

krudler · 22-08-2010 03:48PM

30 seconds of a kick to forget how miserable and meaningless their lives are?

They have to amuse themselves somehow, before they get back to their 6 (at least) kids. :rolleyes:

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

OutlawPete · 22-08-2010 04:05PM

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

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

deepsouthtalla · 22-08-2010 04:18PM

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

OptimashPrime · 22-08-2010 04:19PM

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...

Racism is not funny young man.

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 find it fun driving along with a friend hanging out the window...when we spot someone he'll shout "ABUSE!" and we lol heartily.

Projectiles and the Doppler effect.
All self-respecting scangers pay attention in Physics class when these are taught.

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.

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