When driving and someone in another vehicle does something stupid/ potentially death causing, what is your usual reaction to that?
Do you have a favourite swear word for these moments?
Do you let you fingers do the talking? If so 1 finger or 2 or the wanker sign?
Some sort of incomprehensible shouting?
Me personally, if i make eye contact i favour the "joey" option.
Anybody got into real bother for shouting/gesturing for venting their frustrations?

I don't drive but sometimes I flash a what the hell are you doing look if someone nearly hits me when I'm crossing the road. I doubt the driver finds it very intimidating, in their big bad metal shield. I think it's stupid how normally placid people can become complete maniacs once their behind the wheel and if I'm a passenger it makes me cringe and wish they'd just get the hell over it.
When I was on a road trip in another country my bro was driving and we were looking for a turn off to a park and mistakenly my brother indicated the wrong way, then changed his indicator and turned the other way. This guy, who was driving up behind us, (seemingly speeding I might add) slammed on his horn and then screamed some obscenity...my brother waved from the window and said sorry man i'm not from here, the guy pulled into the park behind us screaming at us to get the fuck out of the country fucking c**ts and some other shit and then sped off again.
It was a little awkward to say the least.
Last month, some pleb pulled out infront of me on a round about and we had our windows down so I shouted some abuse at him and he returned the favour but took it up a notch by calling heather a slag. I then lost it a bit more and offered for him to get out of his car so we could throw a few.
Just as he said that he was going to kill me, his two front teeth fell out into his lap and he shouted 'SHIT'! Genius, he had false front teeth.
Just as he tore off I shouted 'That was just a stare, imagine what would have happened if I'd actually punched you!'
Another time, one which my mate loves for some reason. I had to squeeze through a small gap and some fool in the other direction tried to get in before me so we ended up side by side. He was screaming blue murder at me and his window was steaming up. I just calmly let down my window, waited for him to do the same and the in the same calm manner said 'do one, bellend' and then put the window back up. He just smiled and drove off.

i'm a horn honker! i will honk my horn long and hard at you if you're being a fucker. then i'll usually call you a mother fucker (b/c it's fun to say and easy to interpret) and then probably give the bird.
if i'm in the passenger's seat, sometimes i'll honk the horn for the dirver if the asshat offender needs it.
Shooting.
I'm a gangsta...

i usually just sort of flail my arms in frustration. if i happen to be continuing down the same road as said person, i'll oftentimes tailgate them a bit until they turn or speed off away from me.

the worst thing i did was last year. I stopped at some lights and i hadnt seen the three teenagers hiding behind a tree who set a firework off which hit my windscreen, i saw them scarper so i followed them the wrong way down a one way street, shouted a load of obscenity and they buggered off down a back alley sniggering and the worst thing was, two blokes saw the whole thing on the other side of the street and they were pissing themselves.
Never done it myself but something you can do when you encounter a member of the Middle Lane Owners Club on a motorway is to overtake them on the outside lane then return to the inside before slowing down, dropping behind them and repeating the overtaking manouvre - resulting in you circling around them. See how many times you can do it before they realise that the middle lane is not for cruising.

I swear to myself but when something bad happens, I always wish I could toot the horn, but in the heat of the moment , forget where the horn is. :o
Never seem to forget when I am getting out of the car in the middle of the night and trying to avoid waking the neighbours though. FFS

by nature I would just honk or change lanes and avoid the same driver. But if I'm in a piss off mood I would drive faster than the other. The whole thing is I would rather drive than drive within a radius where there is an idiot. I hate it when the driver is going 35 on a 45 speed limit or when they just cut you off with out any signal and you are about to crash their car. Seriously, sometimes I would think that my car transforms into a transformer and would crush the fucking car in front of me.

Hehe. Yup, i've often flipped on my wipers at full speed instead of the horn. Those crap drivers know not to mess with me when i've done that! :mad:
I usually just swear (although i have to be more restrained when the nipper is in the car). Phrase of choice is usually "You. Dick. Head" through gritted teeth.

Don't forget about the times when you cross 4 lanes to shout at a lorry driver!

I normally cruise around with a disgruntled hungover midget that's all hyped up on redbull and starbucks.
Whenever someone does something stupid while I'm driving, he'll hop out and jump right in their car and shit on their dashboard and turn around with his asscheeks spread and shoves their nose in his unwiped ass.
I'm just glad my seats are leather instead of cloth.

that's so gross ^
I don't drive, but I liked to yell at people in cars or on other bikes when I'm riding my bike on the road. yesterday this stupid bitch was riding super slow, so I had to pass her, and then I came up to a light and stopped, and she kept pedaling through against the signal and a truck was turning left and had to swerve to get around her and almost hit me...and then they honked and yelled at me and I screamed, "IT'S HER FAULT!" and pointed. then I sped up to pass her again and when I passed, I said really sternly in her face, "don't cut people off" and she got all startled. I really really really wanted to knock her off her bike.
I flip people off and yell "fuck you" a lot. "you stupid piece of shit" comes out every now and again. or like, once this guy on the street almost walked out in front of me and he said, "be careful!" to me, and I said "you be careful, bitch". that ruled.

I only have pedestrian rage.
it involves me doing alot of crossing crosswalks in the dark giving disgusted looks and holding my middle finger high after waiting far to long for some cars to finally stop.
I am the most obnoxious piece of foot-traffic you ever could meet.

I'll yell something like, stupid cunt, and give them the finger. I also tailgate if they've cut me off.
My driving gets worse the more I do it.

When i pick up my daughter from nursery we tend to sing songs on the way home and on a few occassions i have quietly uttered the word "knobhead" at some idiot driver whilst in the middle of singing Baa Baa Black sheep. She hasnt picked up on it..yet!
I say "Look at this idiot" to no one in particular...
Also, my horn's broken. Watch for finger.
