What's the strangest thing anyone has shouted at you, from a passing car.

I was climbing a steep hill from weston seafront in the summer, and was twerking away out of the saddle. I went by a parked minibus, and got wolf whistled by a load of old men... one of them shouted "nice arse darlin".

I wouldn't mind, but I'm a 48 year old father of 2.........

I got water pistoled from a passenger... .. fu@#er got me right in the ear.

Are you quite sure it was water?

A young man driving a Corsa once shouted "Love yer Jaffa Cakes, mate!" to the sounds of hooting approval from the back seat, which was jammed full of young ladies. It was on a rather unpleasant, busy roundabout but the driver was unintentionally shielding me from the rest of the traffic, so I'll let him off.

More recently, someone almost run me down head-on on a narrow single-track road. He then slammed on his brakes, somehow turned his volvo estate around, and drove up beside me screaming "GET OUT OF MY WAY, I'VE BEEN TO A FUNERAL TODAY!". Whilst wearing a very silly hat.

Did it work? I'll have to try that one.

How much space do you want? From a black cab driver.

I once had a random guy stop, roll down his window and shout

'You poof'

At me.

How very dare he!!

How could he tell, was it the leather chaps?

I one had someone wolf whistle at me and give the limp wristed sign.

I thought I looked good in my pink jersey with a shaved head, and I almost fell off my bike laughing.

I've been whistled at by a car of young girls as well, although I'm not sure they were entirely serious.

How could he tell, was it the leather chaps?

Well, ok, to be fair, yes...... And the fact I didn't have a saddle.....

I've never had anything that unusual, just the normal occasional moaning or heckling.
I have however got engaged in various conversations with drivers at traffic lights which is quite surreal normally, just having a friendly chat through a car window.

That's got to be one of the most usual things in this thread!

"Nice arse!", from an attractive middle aged lady in a BMW. Very strange, because my butt is saggy and hairy, not nice at all.

had that one too

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Another one was, when passing a group of young lads, 'Hey mate, your back wheel's going round.'

A trio of years ago..............

Had a very close pass when about 50 meters from a closed level crossing last summer. I approached the driver and politely explained he passed me dangerously and his reply was "Well you are wide with those things on the side".

That is, the two panniers on the side of the rack. Neither of which were wider than the edges of my handlebars. I pointed this out, he didn't understand, I got back in line. You can bring a horse to water...

"Despite pressure on usage of urban land for other purposes, increasing congestion, and not holding this view for any other type of provision, I say that land use for parking should be entirely exempt from the workings of the market."
