I have ranted on a previous occasion about the morning rat-run through our village so very quick summary:
Single track roads - short-cut to city - I am apparently only person who needs to go opposite direction during rush-hour - majority of people coming the other way clearly think I am unreasonable for driving through my own village and glare and head-shake at me - I am cross.
Obviously it is the holidays now, so the school run traffic is missing which makes life much easier. However, there is one woman who I see every single time. She drives very fast on a narrow, twisty road with several blind bends so I finish up crawling around corners in case she comes hurtling the other way. She flatly refuses to back up even a couple of feet to the nearest passing space, and she makes no attempt to move over so that both cars can pass without scraping through the hedge. So I finish up reversing to the next passing space with her driving about 6 inches off my front bumper with a face like thunder, and then as soon as the road widens at all, she squeezes past, glaring at me all the time and shaking her head.
Bearing in mind the following:
-
I live here and have as much right to leave the village as she does to cut through it.
-
I drive a very small car which causes minimal obstruction.
-
I don't drive dangerously fast.
-
I am the one reversing and getting off the road.
would I be unreasonable to make a little sign saying "The next time you shake your head at me will be the last time I reverse for you. I can sit here all day - how about you?"
Would probably be unreasonable to add "cowbag" at the end, I suppose.
