some stupid idiot stands at the side of the road pointing at a speed sign and indicating that you are speeding even if your not (i.e. mouthing slow down, and other things). All the t0sser hears is a nice bit of acceleration (to the speed limit), and then assumes that your speeding as you're in a loud sports car. It really gets on my wick!

I once pulled into a mother and baby space at Waitrose. A car pulled up behind me , wound down the window and started shouting abuse at me..... I just pretended not to hear, got my 2 and 4 yr old out of the back and then turned and gave a sarcastic wink. Mr and Mrs angry were very red faced !

Just pull up next to them and ask them, "What?" whilst revving the engine very loudly.

I was once asked if my car 'had' to be so loud, I said no it was through choice but if he wanted it louder I would see what I could do!!!

Then gave it a boot full.

Yep had this happen a few times, but this one took the biscuit.

I used to have very similar experiences in Tescos. The smug feeling I got as the kids climbed out almost made the shopping trip worthwhile.
