Default Meathead!

Hi all,

I was driving through town today and a bloke in a battered old red fiesta pulls out right in front of me. It's a 30mph zone and I am doing 30mph. He pulls out and then drives at about 5mph infront of me for about 200metres up to a set of traffic lights. The lights are on red and as I sit behind him he turns round in his seat and gives me the middle finger. If that aint bad enough, he then opens his drivers door and starts swearing at me so I just laugh back at him. As he begins to walk towards me, the lights go amber and then green. He then decides to stand infront or my car so I can't go anywhere so now I am getting slightly narked to put it politely. I shouted at him "What's the ****ing problem?" and he started jumping up and down in front of my car.

This seemed like it went on for ages but it was probably only a couple of minutes. The cars behind me started beeping their horns and someone shouted out from behind me. It was potentially very dodgy and I still don't know why or what he was trying to prove but some security staff were walking up the road towards the traffic lights and as soon as he saw them he got back in his car.

Wierd!!!!

I've been and done that in the past mate and..well, let's just say that even though I was the potential victim, I got done for it in the end. The chavs that tried it on got more than they bargained for put it that way.

a lad who I know, something similar happened. He was out shopping with his wife and stopped at lights, but someone walked past in front of him and stared. It was 2 chavs but only one staring. when they crossed infront and got to the pavement they both then started staring. My mate and his wife were shaking their heads in disbelief then one proceeded to kick his car...long story short he chased them and got beaten up. W@nK3rs!

He wanted you out of your car so that his mate could jump in a nick your car with the keys.

Used to be done with dustbins across your drive.
Would you turn the car off and lock it when you got out? No.

Is it not illegal to have the ol police batons in your car? I had to put mine elsewhere as that's what i was told.

I now have some choice "weapons" which relate to my job.

I had two gentlemen in Bradford run into the back of me whilst I was sat at a set of red lights one day. I first switched the engine off, got out and locked the car door before looking round to see who else was about. no one; so proceeded to inspect the car, luckly no damage. They were appologetic so no harm done. Best be careful when these things happen.
