Apology from WVM

[yorkshiregoth]

Cycling to work last night and I was cut up quite badly by a WVM in a halal meat delivery truck. When I politely remonstrated with him he implied in a not so polite way that I have improper relations with my mother, and also offered that I pleasure him in a certain way.

As I had some time to spare I went after him and caught up with him about 2 miles later making his next delivery. As we were both Mulsims I asked him if he thought his behaviour and language was appropriate and proper, and he got really really embarrassed and said I didn't know you were Muslim. I then started to give him a lecture saying that even if I wasn't Muslim is this the kind of example you should show to people given our current media issues as Muslims.

The poor man was so apologetic and promised to behave himself next time.

Well done! Now you have to target all the heathens out there!

Not quite what I was expecting from the thread title. Not sure if I would have went after him after the initial pleasantries but kudos to you for doing so. Now if you could start on the rest of WVM and possibly more importantly WVMM (WVM's mate). I'm getting bored with the bullplop screamed at me as they pass. Anyway I digress well done.

hate it when people change when they're called on their supposed religious beliefs

sounds like plain hypocrisy to me

I wonder if seeking out a co-religionist is the way forward for cyclists - "Oi! ARE YOU C OF E OR WHAT?!?!?"

 

[dudi]

Wonder if he would have been apologetic to me...

 

[Keith Oates]

yorkshiregoth, it was good that you followed him and got the apology but knowing if he keeps his promise will not be so easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely agree - good for you yorkshiregoth for calling him on it, but this kind of thing just plain irks me. Hopefully he will change his behaviour in future.

 

[Absinthe Minded]

That's brilliant, goth - well done.

 

[John the Monkey]

Well, in your case Crock, I'd follow them home and present them with a leaflet, innit (unless the traffic is really slow).

Also, more generally, if the offending person turns out not to be a co-religionist, can they then smite you with their vehicle righteously? Enquiring minds, and all that...

 

[magnatom]

How about,

Are you human? That is no way to treat a fellow human.

 

[Maz]

I would've tried to wangle a deal on his chickens.

Or in my case:

"Oi, you! That's no way for a fellow secular, liberal, athiest who practices token and therefore hypocritical Sikhism simply on the grounds of lazy family and tribal loyalty, together with a commitment to small government and devolved democracy to nations and local regions away from the centralised bureaucracy of the EU and the Nanny State of New Labour to drive!"

I think in your case you should just stick to giving them the one finger salute.
