Just been called a fucking slag

Just need a rant i think. Idiot in a large van came too fast around the bend of a narrow street and narrowly avoided crashing head on into me and the dc. He reversed back but as I drove past I heard 'Fuck you, you fucking slag' screamed out the window before he sped off.

I know he felt embarrassed for his shit driving so resorted to name calling to protect his fragile ego, I know he's a nasty prick for shouting at a women with kids in the car, and I know he's probably forgotten about it already. So why does it still sting? I feel so bloody angry and if he hadn't drove off I would have got out the car and let rip on him for being such a cock (not a good idea I know but menopause rage is strong). Thankfully the kids didn't realise as they were still chatting away oblivious in the back. I'm still struggling to get over it and don't know where to put my anger.

🤣🤣🤣

Thank you everyone, I feel calmer already. Although sorry to everyone that has had similar. @AzureBlue99 That's very true, gives them the excuse to release the pent up anger and hatred. Like, why I am I a slag because you can't drive? It didn't even make sense.

Imagine being his ex! It sounds like you were in the wrong place at the wrong time unfortunately.

Sorenips11 · 21/06/2024 10:05

There was a young woman in the passenger seat too, possibly a girlfriend. I hope she doesn't get the same shit from him 😔

I know what you mean, I dropped my DD at piano lessons at 4 (so not night time) in the afternoon, nice part of town - I walked past a man that just declared me a slut. I was wearing boring clothes (not that that matters), I was nowhere near him so I don’t know why he was affronted by my very presence. Unfortunately, I don’t like injustices and asked him if he was speaking to me. He then turned and started to walk back up the road just shouting slag at me, I replied, “how dare you, don’t call me that” anyway, it didn’t help, he was sort of chasing me then but I’d already assessed the situation and knew that I could run faster than him, I rang up my DH who was elsewhere in town and met him on the high street as this guy was behind me still. DH, then looked at him from across the road as I was telling him on the phone and started to come towards me and therefore him. DH is more sweary than me and believe it or not the man soon turned around. That said, this man wasn’t a very muscular man or anything just normal size so usually best to ignore.

Goldenbear · 21/06/2024 10:07

Sorry, after all that sympathies OP as I know that I kept wondering why he had called me that.

Choochoo21 · 21/06/2024 10:08

Small 🍤 behaviour.

Its not nice when it’s directed at you but it’s laughable just how fragile these men are.

Imagine shouting and swearing at a woman with kids just because you had to reverse.
Its embarrassing.

"well at least I'm getting some, unlike you, evidently.."

Conniebygaslight · 21/06/2024 10:10

Awful misogynistic behaviour. Go and have a piece of cake or buy yourself some flowers, have a dance in your kitchen then look at your beautiful DC and tell yourself how your life is so much better than his.
Then put it down.
Do not let this lowlife take up any more of your day.

P.S soooo glad you didn’t get out of the car

Pedallleur · 21/06/2024 10:17

these people come into your life for a few seconds and are (hopefully) gone never to be seen again. prob out with partners and/or children they may seem normal but on their own or with their mates they change. let it go. Nothing damaged, no one hurt. just the usual name calling

GasPanic · 21/06/2024 10:23

Carma is definitely a thing.

If you drive around like an idiot sooner or later you are going to pay the consequences of that.

suburburban · 21/06/2024 10:24

So sorry OP

It's usually when they have made the mistake which makes it even worse

I remember this is how some teen boys used to talk to girls, so disgusting

MartyFunkhouser · 21/06/2024 10:24

Just think about his sad little life. He probably loses his temper like that every single day. Pathetic.

Yes, this is so true, well at my school, I don’t think at my DC’s school, boys that were not very nice always name called. I feel it is a lack of development.

suburburban · 21/06/2024 10:28

Yes in the 80s if you said something they didn't like

I have a vague memory of calling one of them out over it and they were really embarrassed

thefireplace · 21/06/2024 10:34

He sounds like a guy who can't get it up but blames his partner.

I remember being called a fucking bitch at a traffic lights once, the guy was in the wrong as parked in the yellow cross marked box and I had eye rolled as wanting to turn right and he was blocking it. It gave me great amusement that I had annoyed him just by a look. Think nothing of it.

crew2022 · 21/06/2024 10:44

I once pulled over to let a man in a van through a narrow gap with double parking. I had my three children in the car. He gestured me to go instead of him. I was slow going through being careful not to hit the wing mirrors of parked cars. As I drew level with him I smiled to say thank you and he spat at my window and said "learn to drive you f'ing c*nt"
The kids were all under 6 and really upset and I cried.

I wonder if he was mid row with the woman and she'd said some about his driving and it sounded like he was screaming it at you? ( I'd probably tell myself this 😁)

FriedGold · 21/06/2024 10:48

I wouldn’t shout at anyone..but I do end up muttering “fucking knob” under my breath on most car journeys at other drivers. Awful. But just a vent.

GooGooMuckMuck · 21/06/2024 10:52

It’s an awful feeling, I remember crossing the road on my way back from primary school and some arsehole called me a f’in bitch out of his car window as he was zooming past. I was probably about 10/11! Still pisses me off to this day.

shearwater2 · 21/06/2024 10:54

I got called a slag for momentarily blocking a side road (must have been five seconds) in a moving queue of traffic so the van had to wait a few seconds to pull out. There are really some charming guys on the roads.

Incakewetrust · 21/06/2024 09:11

Just think, if he keeps driving like that, within a year he'll be an organ donor 😊

fuck ! I wouldn't want any of his shitty DNA.

I feel sorry for the woman and children he's going home to.

They’re all cowards. Some little arsehole cut my sister in law up at a roundabout years ago now, then overtook her, slammed on his brakes and jumped out of his souped up roller skate, walking towards her shouting with his fists clenched. What he hadn’t noticed was my 6’3, built like a brick outhouse brother sat in the back seat. So when he got out of the car and walked towards the little squirt, with his naturally thunderous expression on his face (he’s actually really friendly, he just looks thunderous at the best of times) the blokes palms went straight up and was all ‘I’m sorry mate, I didn’t see her on the roundabout mate, I didn’t want any trouble mate’ Absolutely pathetic.

Years ago, I was pulling away from traffic lights with no one behind me when I spotted a man crossing the road about 50m in front of me. I took it slowly to let him get across but once he was on my side he started to walk directly towards my car ranting and raving at me. I stopped my car about 7/8m from him but he kept coming towards me. I heard him say he was crossing the road - fucking do it then, I'm stationary. He then looked over top of my car, a van with three men in had pulled up behind me which strangely seemed to spur him onto the pavement, and off he went. I don't know what would have happened if that van hadn't turned up when it did especially as I had my then 4yr old in the car with me.
