Just need somewhere to vent I think as I'm mortified from what's happened today by mainly a grown woman. On my way home earlier, had DP in the car aswell and was going straight on on a roundabout and noticed another car also going straight on was extremely close nearly brushing my car, my DP who would 100% tell me if I was in the wrong agreed that he was too close in my lane however we ignored it and carried on.
Next thing I know this car is tooting at me and using vile hand gestures and laughing, the woman in the car wound her window down and started shouting 'hahaha you drive a ford ka' and making a sick gesture. I was absolutely mortified and said to my DP what the actual fuck has just happened. These 2 grown adults acting like a pair of embarrassing clowns, I tried to imagine either my parents or DPs parents going on in this way who looked around the same age and it just absolutely would not happen!
The car comments do not upset me in the slightest, I use my car to get to work and back which is not far and to pop to the shops if I need to. I prefer to spend my money on other things. I would never judge someone on what car they drive ffs it's teenage behaviour.
My DP has told me to 'ignore the scumbags' and not let it ruin my day but I'm genuinely shaken up by it. I think it possibly may of been a woman who started working at my old place shortly before I left and it so, this behaviour doesn't surprise me, she was very bitchy and loud and the funny thing is, she didn't drive herself so it's funny to mock someone else's car and she has sons around my age so I wonder how they would feel knowing their mum is driving round town screaming abuse at people!
Why do people go on this way when their in their car? I just don't get it. I've had similar things happen in the past when someone has pulled out at a round out or a junction before checking and then they get all angry and wave abuse around despite being in the wrong, but has always grown men until now.
