Getting Your Own Back

[londonblue]

I just thought i'd share this with you, and see if you have any similar ideas/stories.

A couple of times lately i've been cut up on the road by people driving their own vans. I would call them all white van men, but not all of them are. What I have started doing is making a note of their phone numbers that are plastered all over the side of their van.

I then wait until I get to work, and call them explaining that I need their services (be it plumber etc) and see if they're available for a very big job that could make them a lot of money. When they say they are, I explain that because they cut me up on the road i'll be going somewhere else!

Mr Meldrew did that in an episode of One Foot In The Grave I believe....

I bet you get loads of laughs out of that wheeze don't you. Car drivers should have their phone numbers on display as well. Then I could phone a few up and ask why they felt the need to cut a recovery truck up, pull out on it or shout out 'Get that piece of sh!t of the road you ****ing w@anker' That gem was while loading a RTC casualty.

Car drivers are far worse than 'white van man' and should be labeled as such. Dangerous Driving Tosser jumps to mind.

Calm down, and read what I wrote:-

Great minds think alike.

So does then mean he stole that joke and then plastered it on here as his own achievement? Surely not........

or maybe he got the idea from OFITG, and actually decided to do it?

He may well have - but I can't see it myself. Hard to tell without knowing him and his character.

I thought this was a thread about this man

I've never watched One Foot in the Grave. Not once.

I don't BELIEVE it!

I honestly can't stand that kind of programme, and have never watched it.

Last month while walking to charing cross from the office one evening. I was crossing a zebra crossing on the south part of regent street. When a white van decided he wasnt going to stop. I jumped back & as I did I hit his van with the flat of my hand he stopped jumpped out & started having a go I told him to have a go without his van if he was hard enough and enquired if
A) He had ever taken a driving test and or read the highway code or
B) Was he in need of an eye test as had I been elderly/blind/disabled or someone pushing a buggy he could have killed me. He decided he would rather get back in his van & drive off rather than face someone who was willing to have a go back.

Actually, i've just remembered another time I had an altercation with a cyclist. I was driving along in Hampstead when this cyclist turned left onto the main road I was on and then cut in front of me. I had so slam on the breaks. We were all going quite slowly because of traffic, but it was still very dangerous of him. When I eventually caught up with him, I pulled up along side and sounded my horn very loudly. The sound scared him so much he nearly fell off! (I also made sure I stayed along side to ensure he didn't hurt himself before anyone has a go at me.)
