Oh dear I have just verbally abused a client but he did deserve it!

Cycling in to Macc this morning I was cruising at over 20 in a 30 zone, when a Golf started to overtake me on a blind bend, the road wasn't too narrow so I wasn't too perturbed by the close pass. However while the over take was happening the black Mercedes overtaking the Golf overtaking the cyclist and nearly crashing head on into the car coming the otherway did. I rapidly caught them up and cycled on the inside of the Mercedes and informed him that I thought he liked pleasuring himself. My anger was further inflammed by the fact he was on his mobile phone. I caught him again and told him I thought he was a piece of a males anatomy, it was at this point despite him pulling the sun visor across to block his face that I noticed it was a long standing client of the practice where I work. He is a really nice bloke but it can't excuse his driving though which in reality could have ended up with a really serious incident. I am guilty of losing my temper but sometimes in circumstances when your life is on the line you just can't help it. Here endeth the rant!

So let me get this straight...you're on a blind bend, a car over takes you...and this guy was overtaking the car over taking you? That is sheer madness!

As for him being a client...I'd try to keep work and "real life" as two separate things

Good luck with your employers then !

Rant is worthy tbh, people driving while on their phone rattles my cage

I am a self employed director of the company so I have myself to answer to lol. I was angry I lost my temper but there was no excuse for the guys driving.

Yep it took me a moment to mentaly accept it had happened.

I think the fact he's a client is irrelevant. Perhaps embarrassing but irrelevant.

Personally, I think I'd be considering reporting him and to hell with how much he spends with the company.

Fair enough !

You were right to have a go under such circumstances really. Quel knob !

Seems like a worthy cause you giving him some abuse. Was he in a rush to pay your company a visit...?!

Oh to be a fly on the wall next time you two meet (for business)

Make sure you over charge him for work.

I was once driving down the M62 at 4am in my Dad's car, when I came across a guy driving in the middle lane, despite there being no-one else on the road. I gave him a little flash and passed him on the right.

The next day my Dad came home yelling at me. "Dave from Work said you flashed him last night, he recognised the plates. I've never been so embarrassed...etc"

So I said, "Wouldn't you have flashed him in the same situation?" and he said "...err yeah, good point."

He is a really nice bloke...

Until he gets behind the wheel. Then he becomes a self-important, thoughtless bell-end.
