Op, you should have been going so fast that you blew his doors off. Then he wouldn't have been around to call you a tosser.

I got a wker sign today from some fkwit when I overtook them doing 25mph in a 40. I took a flyover exit later and noticed they were in the wrong lane and got some abuse themselves for cutting up another car to pull into the correct lane. I wonder if that idiot goes through life wondering why everybody else is wrong and he is right.

I had a guy behind me in a Ka today screaming at me for doing 30 in a 30 limit.

It was on the way out of the village, and I could see the NSL sign a few hundred yards away, but it's still 30 until that sign. Of course that prompted me to boot it when I did go into the NSL, and left him fuming to himself that he now couldn't keep up with the car he thought was going too slow. I will honestly never understand driving in Berkshire.

maybe the guy thought that guy, i don't know him, he might be a tosser, this could be my only chance to shout it at him just in case he is
when you think about it like that the only sensible thing for anyone to do is shout tosser at you

It's exactly the same where I am - the 40 or 50 everywhere brigade is multiplying, and fast.

ne'er–do–wells don't need a reason to exhibit their misanthropy.

However perhaps you were going too slow, if you had been going faster you wouldn't have been able to hear him like trees falling in a forest ...

..Reading this post does seem to demonstrate that an awful lot of people in this fair land are angry these days....not sure why, but we are an angry lot and it takes little to rile us. Even on the first page or two of this thread we had pistonheaders calling each other nob ends, tossers etc!!

Some people don't like to be passed whether in a car or on foot. Waking down an aisle in a supermarket, browsing the products as you go. Someone is stationary half way down, as you reach them, they move off in front of you.

Walking 20 foot behind a guy, he stops to check something on his phone, as I approach he moves off still looking at his phone.

Walking to my car with my shopping in a trolly a woman is speed walking in front so she gets to her car first.

I was recently test driving a car, and being fairly cautious as I wasn't used to the controls etc - slowed to let a white van cross the road in front of me for which I received the middle finger from his passenger, never had that before!

Wasn't in a flash car, was driving cautiously, can't see why he'd do that, I was shocked, perhaps that was his intention.

put my foot down and overtook, got to about 50 and then backed off as there are roadworks, a pub and an upcoming junction at which I turn right, Saab come up the inside and driver shouts "Tosser" at me but I couldn't see why, I hadn't had any confrontation or got in his way, could it be just I am in an open Sports Car with a fairly loud exhaust ?
Did you hold him up when you turned right?

Really gets on my tits when somebody overtakes me then stops to turn.
