Random abuse strange reaction

[XmisterIS]

I was at a set of lights, mid afternoon sunny day when a middle aged bloke in a MGB, top down, at a set of light beeped at me and shouted: ' get into the side.'

What a tw@t! I'm thinking "open-topped car + full water bottle" ...

And if they stop, I will mix it.

I can't help to respond, if and when i get abuse, but i should learn that i tend to come off worse. a recent WVM incident, where i stopped and turned round and approaced his open window and exchanged a few "pleasantries" he blasted his little air horn at my face before driving off and nearly squishing my bike!!
i wish i could shrug it off and let it pass..

I did let one go (it was a WVW -not man-... coming the opposite direction, down a busy duel carriage way.. face at the window shouting some nonsensical garbage like "WAH-WAH BLAH-CYCLE-WHA BLAH") and we were gone before i realised it was meant for me GRRR!

No need,it's British,a soft top,so it will already be full of water in the footwell !
If it was me though i would have commented like "oh you poor soul,could you not afford a car with a metal roof ! "

The last person in any car that gave me abuse, was.... in an Open Top Car....... was Cheadle Hulme is his Z4........ he was having a laugh after the May/June(ish) Velodrome CC session..... unfortunately for him, I was riding my best bike (grrrrr)................It wasn't as bad as it could have been as I'd just about recognised him as the torrent came out................but bad enough.....

I think I'd have taken up position right in front of him and provoked a reason to slap him. I can take being cut up, generally ignored, even 'smidsy'd' but not mouthed at by people who think they know it all, then my temper goes and he best drive off quick.

My level of tiredness makes a huge difference, if i'm feeling good then i just laugh it off, if i'm knackered i soon let them know my feelings
