What is the feminine derivative of the word "nobber"?

[grumpyoldwoman]

Black coat. No helmet. Fat @rse.

Two out of those three descibes me - my coat is pink.
At least I have extra padding for my saddle!!!

So not one of these three factors is relevant to the thread.

 

[Dec66]

Are any of these three factors relevant to this thread?

I think I addressed that one above.

 

[snorri]

I think I addressed that one above.

It was the way you said it.

FETA: the fact she made the remark about "doing a third one" indicates that she knew what she was doing and didn't give a flying one for the safety of the pedestrians at the crossings.

You took the piss out of her. She reacted. It's human nature, if you rebuke me for something I've done while riding, I will do it again, I will do it twice as hard, and I will shout FU while doing it.

A couple of years ago I took a conscious decision to stop getting cross with other road users, no matter whose fault and to stop yelling at people who upset me. I enjoy my cycling much more.

So less of the nobber or whatever....just chill and be happy.

I don't, normally... But this seemed so blatant I felt compelled to say something.

And to address the above point about "picking on a soft target", I'd argue that it's more sexist to turn a blind eye to such nobbery just because it's a woman... It's almost as if you're saying "aww, bless her, she's only a woman and doesn't know the rules of the road".

That says more about you than it does about me...

Point taken, which is why I made the clarification.

 

[winjim]

Maybe it does. But it should tell you that you cannot hope to change my behaviour through mockery. So why did you think you would be able to change hers?

...but you turn a blind eye to the 'harder' targets of people in cars?

As I said, it was such blatant stupidity that I felt compelled to say something.

I could have stopped, asked her why she felt the need to ignore the red lights and if she could not be a little more considerate to the pedestrians, but that would have been patronizing in the extreme.

Or, of course, I could have just ignored it, which I'll do from now on, even if the bike's wrapped round her after a prang.

Did you miss the bit about the collision I had with the van?
