Annoyed by random man incidents

This happened to me many years ago when I was in my early 30s. I accidentally pulled out at a junction, not enough to be dangerous, but probably should have waited. I put my hand up to the bloke I had pulled out in front of, (like oooops sorry ...)

But that was not enough. He was on my bumper, revving up his engine and virtually redlining, and nearly hit me several times. He was beep beep beeping his horn, and screaming out of the the window, 'YOU! BITCH! YOU FUCKING STOP!' He was in a rage.

I was so scared. No way was I stopping, I was afraid he would hit me, or pull out a knife.

There had been a recent spate of road rage attacks and I was terrified. I drove for about 3 miles, with him hounding me, and I drove into the police station car park. He pulled in too, pulled alongside me, and as I got out of the car he said 'you'll keep you fat cunt. I will fucking end you next time, and I can trace you by your registration plate, so I already know where you live. You're fucking dead.'

Completely irrational and ludicrous anger and rage from this man, aimed at a young woman. (He was about 40-45.) I had my DD in the car too in her car seat, only a few months old, and as he drove off I burst into tears. I was in bits.

I went and reported it to the police, and long story short, they checked their cctv, and his registration number was a fake, and you could only see him from the back. So he was never traced. Even now, I shudder when I think about it. I never told anyone. Not even DH. I don't know why.

With the stories I am reading on here, it's no wonder so many women loathe men!

Mine also has a rear camera. They're by Nextbase and were fitted by Halfords.

Honestly if I had a pound for everytime i've heard that old chestnut over the years i'd be doing alright, I always reply like I did today or with, yep it's always halloween in my house, depending on what mood i'm in😂. It's always men aged 50 and over every single time, they think they are so fucking funny.

Thank you @DisabledDemon i think i might buy her a dashcam...the trouble is she is driving constantly and there are so many arseholes on the roads x

She has all my sympathy. I was coming out of a junction when this twatting young dick in a BMW cut across me from the left. Naturally, I hooted and he had the nerve to stop in front of me, obviously trying to intimidate me for having the nerve to tell him off.

Then he noticed the cameras on my car and he ran away. I hope she has cameras too. Honestly, it's getting so that you can't venture out without them.

Bleed you, picking on a typo bring so perfect. I get treated fine, it’s you that seems to have a problem. This is my last reply as it get boring after a few. Adios.

Oh wow, I didn’t know about Ken! Well you’ve changed my mind, let’s take away womens rights again so that men will treat us better….

Cheeky twat 😡. I would have asked him where he had parked his broomstick😎

Comments here even more depressing. Interestingly, one of them is a business page for someone I know. I would never have guessed they'd be such a dick.

Well the Ken my mother and I knew, yes. Do you think women don’t get battered anymore or raped. Bloody hell you must live in a dream world. My mother was born in 1925 she became a director of Lyons, so I don’t really know what you’re talking about. You seem very bitter and angry.

Don't forget, 1 in 8 men think they could win a point against Venus Williams 🙄

I had one in work today. I work in a shop, I was happily going about my duties when a random man looked at me, smirked and said: "I thought it was halloween for a minute" I gave him a stinking look and said oh I have never heard THAT one before. I'm a 43 year old, 4foot 10inch woman, but I always wear brightly coloured eye shadow, todays choice is bright purple and gold. And I also have half violet&half neon green dreadlocks that are down to my arse, which I wear in a loose high bun, so i'm used to nonsense like this, but it did anboy me today!

I always find men to be super helpful and kind when I'm out with my kids. I'd say more so than women tbh.

Omg the driving thing , other half infuriates me, crawls along when should be doing faster, then when someone gets in front of him, hes up their arse 🙄🙄 and then moans at me for going too fast or slow (within speed limits)
Not had any men barge into me, but felt they can make a comment, like the old; cheer up might never happen 🙄

My dd is 20 and has been driving 2 years...she has been followed twice in that time by aggressive men...one in a van and one in a car...she assures me both times she did nothing wrong and im inclined to believe her.
One man forced her to drive onto a grass verge as she took a little bit of time to pull out of a junction....it makes me so sad for her...no way would they do that to another man.

The one that stands out in my mind is a few years ago, waiting to cross a road I crossed at least 6 times every week day. I knew the traffic light rotation like the back of my hand. I was stood at the kerb waiting for the lights to changing, watching them out of the corner of my eye whilst also looking at my phone. Some Lycra clad cyclist obviously spotted me waiting and became annoyed that I was looking at my phone, he was clearly so distracted by his rage, he wasn’t paying attention to the lights, so hadn’t noticed that they’d turned red. I had and looked up to double check the road and start crossing only to have him almost smash straight into me yelling at me to watch where I was going, clearly wanting to ‘teach me a lesson’.
I yelled after him that he was the one running a red light, and could see him look up and see the light was red as he zoomed past it, I hope he felt like the absolute knob he was in that moment.

Thank you, it links right to the thread! Lots of butt hurt men

Examples

This is BS, in any kind of sport or physical activity PEOPLE offer PEOPLE unsolicited advice.

I’ve watched pro athletes get such advice from comparative amateurs in the gym, and while it’s tedious it’s nothing to do with gender, or the sexism that some of you are determined to read into everything 🥱

More on grateful than stunned I'd say.....(think he means ungrateful... why would she be grateful?)

So she’s a golf pro doesn’t mean her game is flawless, if you watch you tube channels loads of pros that get advice from a different perspective. Other pros/non-pros see things that we don’t know what’s going on.

So it worked , he gave her some tips and she hit a perfect shot afterwards

So, he went out of his way to try and help her. She could have thanked him and explained she was a golf pro. But of course, the video then wouldn't have been any use in the gender war.

If she was a pro-golfer she wouldn't have been doing it wrong.

A person that isn't able to accept advice is not a smart person at all, humility is a big part of knowledge. Accepting advice from others is how we grow as a society

Oh yeah, back in the day when men could legally rape and beat their wives, when we weren’t allowed credit or employment rights, when we were oppressed and second class, men treated us so much better…

I'm not sure if that will just take you to the article itself so you may not be able to read the comments. Search LBC on Facebook and it is at the top for now.

I remember driving down a quiet through road with my daughter. Walking along the road, instead of the perfectly safe and useable path, was a group of older male teenagers. When I got close to them, I beeped and smiled so that I was appropriately letting them know that they needed to move (but wasn't being aggressive etc.). They turned and looked at me and carried on walking. I beeped again and they did the same thing.

When I finally managed to turn into the car park I was heading to, I parked up and spotted them all sitting down on a wall. I went over (wasn't thinking, was just cross) and asked them if they had not seen me and whether they were confused about how roads and pavements worked. They mumbled some nonsense, I told them that had I been a man, they would have moved out of the way so yes, we were all very impressed at how very manly they were. Told them that they were pathetic and walked off.

I was so mad but I absolutely knew full well that they would have moved had it been my husband driving the car.

Would you mind linking?

I have one to add although not related to driving or walking.

Several years ago I was at a music festival with DH and DC who were primary age. I have a disability and use a mobility scooter. The festival was quite a small one with a folky vibe and there was a band that I had been really looking forward to.

Unfortunately the viewing platform for wheelchairs was full and a very nice steward helped me find a position which would give me a good view.

Just before the band started some random twat in his boden polo shirt came and stood directly in front of me so I couldn't see a bloody thing. I couldn't manoeuvre so as to speak to him and DH had taken the kids off to some activity. Anyway, the very kind steward went to ask him if he would mind moving a few feet to one side so that I could see. Apparently he said "no, I have paid for my ticket and I can stand wherever I want to". The steward told me this because she felt bad and wanted to let me know that she had asked on my behalf. I said that I appreciated her efforts but not to upset herself over it. Am sad to say that when you're in a mobility scooter you get used feeling invisible.

I still enjoyed the concert but it was more galling that after it finished I heard him on his mobile telling someone that he'd never heard of said band but they had sounded "alright". F*ing knob!

I really regret not accidentally running over his feet with my scooter and tbh it spoiled the next, and last day of the festival because I was still pissed off, and also constantly looking for him so I could get my revenge!!

There is an article about this by LBC on Facebook. The comments section is mostly men acting hurt and missing the point.

Perfect Karma!
