Middle of Soho this morning. Cobbled street and I'm coming to a T junction when a scaffolders lorry swings left into 'my' street at such a pace he's so far over from his side of the road that he's a foot from the gutter on MY side. I skid into the kerb and godknowshow, manage to stay upright despite throwing myself onto the pavement.
Soooooooo........He's actually stopped now and I'm right next to his cab. I'm sorry, but with all the adrenalin pumping from nearly BEING SQUASHED UNDER THE FRONT OF HIS LORRY, I call him a 'stupid f###ing c##t'. He starts yelling, leaps out of the cab and runs and jumps infront of me, right in my face. Says that he's gonna kill me for calling him a 'C'. Well I point out(surprisingly calm) that he's already tried to kill me but failed and he should drive properly. (he did seem like he might very well hit me, but managed to stand my -cleated- ground)
By saying that I was going 'as fast as him', he fails to understand that, well, perhaps that wouldn't have mattered if he WAS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD!. '
'Well I slipped' he said...........derr!
And so it went on.......y'know....how this idiot is going to headbutt me so f###ing hard etc etc. So I pointed out that I'd got plenty of witnesses(outside coffe-time Pret-a-Manger) and would have his number and would report him to the police.
Eventually after calling me a 'C' countless times he reinterates that he'll kill me if I call him 'C' and climbs back in his truck...........I pointed that out to him btw.
Nice day, spoilt by a complete tosser......
