It's not really a comparable analogy. I agree with this. I’m not one to get angry in the car tbh, but it’s not comparable at all to someone cutting in front of you in the street as there’s no risk to your life/risk of thousands worth of damage. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even still, whats the point in shouting and swearing and intimidating folk? What are you going to do, get out and assault them? Increased risk is mitigated by mandatory training, laws of the road and insurance. You have no more right to abuse someone because you feel your property is at risk of accidental damage. Maybe if a person was blatantly breaking the law and putting you at risk personally fair enough. Too many people seem to think that someone elses driving not being up to the standards you expect is grounds to shout and bawl at them. Not saying that any of this is what you are saying btw, just general points about road rage. Shandons point most likely is that a lot of people who carry on like this wouldnt have the balls to do so up close and personal. He is of course correct on that. People who lose their temper over daft shite in the car need to have a real think about the situation they could end up putting themselves and their families in when they abuse the wrong person one day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm simply saying that to compare it to someone walking in front of someone in a street isn't a fair analogy. There are far more potential consequences to a car getting cut up than a person. If you can point out to me where I said it was okay for someone to go ape behind the wheel then please do. Just ignore me - was being a cranky b*****d! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't behave like that if you were in the street and someone stepped in front of you. Like the Carragher thread, some folk just seem to turn into total dicks behind the wheel (yes, yes, whilst others are dicks all the time!). She is English though.... To her credit she did tell him to f**k off in the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Most drivers on the road in Britain are massively stressed out bawbags. Just waiting for someone to merge poorly or not give them a wee wave when they let them in so they can lose it on them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Emojis. Can never tell what they mean. Is the wee head with water pouring out of its eyes laughing or crying? The old simple variations on the smiley were much clearer. What is the modern emoji for "embarrassed"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Apparently it's massive news, and a big example of the disgraceful gender pay gap in entertainment, that Matt Smith got paid more for starring in The Crown than Claire Foy, who played the Queen. The fact that he was significantly more successful, and a far bigger name, when they got the roles seems to be of no consequence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
