I’ve had a frustrating week and it kind of reached the apex with someone today who must have been wearing oven mitts to drive because they not only got in the wrong lane at a roundabout, they decided that rather than go all the way around they would just flip their indicator on and come off when they damn well pleased and everyone else could just move out of the way to accommodate them. I had to brake hard to avoid a collision. We then ended up side by side at a set of traffic lights and he shouted something across about ‘making room for him’… erm, no, nothing in the Highway Code to say that we all kowtow to your bad driving and as it happens I DID make room for you to avoid an accident!
I’m not a confrontational person at all, but I was so wound up that I as pulled away I responded: “Oh shut up you stupid duodenum!”
God knows where that came from! Probably haven’t used that word since GCSE biology! But on reflection I like it as a silly swear! What are your silly swears? (I come from a non-sweary family for context - I once heard my mum call someone a ‘lemon’ and that’s about as harsh as it gets!)
