Taxi driver shouted "idiot" at me :-(

[Pat "5mph"]

Uff, uff, uff, taxi drivers will be the dead of me: Sunday morning in the city, one taxi, one car on a 2 lane road, and me on the bike.
Got beeped at because I would not let him pass (BIG 4 drain covers inside pothole ahead) and the other car was in the next lane.
Ok, sorry I hold you back for about 15 seconds.
He must have dropped off at my work, because when I got there, about 10 minutes later, he's just leaving the junction that serves as entrance/exit/taxi rank and he shouts "idiot" at me.
I am not pleased
I take the cobbled glass strewn cycle path when the traffic is maniac, but, come on, it's Sunday early morning, peace to all commuters by bike on earth!

Ach, he angered me a wee bit, got shoved into that pothole by a taxi before, did not want to give in this time
Skudu, it's not becoming for a lady to get involved in street fights

Maybe he recognised you

Because of the Doppler effect, you missed the start of his sentence which was, in full, "Dreadfully sorry for that, I was being a bit of an idiot."

I can see how that was misunderstood, what with you only hearing the last word.

It would also explain the accompanying middle finger salute as a welcoming gesture of an apology.

Lots of time wasted on Google images

I did have one of me but the cats are slightly cuter

I'm "liking" the post because I like cats, not because I have any opinion on your "cuteness" .... don't want another "idiot" shouted at me today

That's it, I'm adopting Potsy! Wonder if BigCat will throw a fit of jealousy?

Don't listen to the sweaty oaf. His like are the biggest menace on our roads.
