For the first time in years, I just had a shouting match with a ****ing twat (and his whole) family taking his kids to a private school in one of those enormous expensive black urban assault vehicles...
He or his wife had shouted at me whilst I was cycling on the road and not even in primary. There is a cycle path next to the road, but it is impossible to get onto from the the direction I had been coming unless you dismount, plus it ends suddenly. In any case, I mentioned none of this...
Luckily or unluckily, after shouting at me, he pulled into the same road down which I was going and proceeded to park. I knocked on his window, and asked him what he though he was doing. He shouted that he was telling me to get on the cycle path. So I told him I had the right to be on the road, and asked him if he had read the Highway Code. He said yes, so I asked him if he understood that he was wrong. He said' don't patronise me', so I asked him if he thought it was right to shout at people whilst driving - the conversation was now being conducted at full volume.
I asked him if he realised he was talking to an intelligent human being, and he got very offended at started going on about how he would say the same thing to the queen. So I just told him that he was wrong, a 4*4 self-gratification artist, and an embarassment to his whole family - who were still there, although not in the car. His wife was looking sheepish and a bit stunned - I was pretty sure that it was her who had shouted now, but encouraged by him.
I know I probably shouldn't have done anything, but I felt so much better afterwards.
