Do you retaliate?

**onearmedbandit** · 21st May 2010, 10:45

I don't retaliate. I get my people to retaliate.

uh huh. I might be wrong, but I think it's the little guys who get thumped.

I wouldn't.

I let the twin Stebel Magnums do the talking...very satisfying, that...

Oh and sometimes I will employ the "Chinese good luck" sign...

I lost it once years ago... ripped his mirror off and thew it a his windscreen, the smahing glass was a cold dose of reality and I booted it home and called star 555 to report his idiousy and somewhat confesed to my actions (in a self defence manner) and found he was issued a IN for not indicating a lane change or somthing... now I twnd to just wave my arm in disaprovel... or like yesterday when the guy pulled a u turn in his truck 30m in front of me in the wet in a clearly posted 70kph no u turn zone and then stopped in my lane to reverse and complete (3 point) u turn (I saw it coming and pulled up enough to avoid him) I went to the cop stattion and reported him (mostly because he was getting out of his truck at the lights ranting and raving? when luckily they turned green and I left) nutter!

I don't retaliate, but I do carry a loaded pistol (just in case).

Is that your code for 'penis'?

I pull up beside them and stare at them and shake my head slowly. Freaks the bejesus out of them.

I ran down the steps, she paused after knocking it over and then let off the brake to keep reversing

gah I yelled "OI stop!!" and she stopped and got out, saw the toppled bike nearly under her rear wheel and started apologizing profusely.

How can you fail to see something, then hit something and ignore it and keep reversing >.< broken indicator and bent a brake lever lucky she didn't try and reverse up over it!

And the other week in my tintop taking my dad to the airport, waiting to turn right at a stop sign T-intersection a campervan coming from the left decides to turn down the sidestreet, and get this... comes past me on my inside into the lefthand lane

left me pretty speechless, shit learn the rules before getting into a big bloody van

Where is the sometimes option? It should have more than one choice too, it really depends on the situation as to whether you're going to pull the fingers, or ring them in etc. Pretty crazy options really.

Surely no-one always looses it. If you always react there is something wrong with you and you need councelling.
I feel like a douche when I react as a once off, and it takes a bit before i'll react. (like when you really are at the end of your tether and someone deliberately swerves at you kinda thing)

For whoever says yes to the broken windows etc....I really doubt it. I ca'nt say i've seen any related news articles, ever, and there bloody would be. (talking about bikes, not the truckie a while back and that other retard from out south)

Their are alot more "super friendly" bikers on the poll then I expected. I was expecting the "flip the bird" to be leading but it seems more are just willing to just be thankful their still upright & "turn the other cheek". Not what I was expecting at all.

I thought flipping them that bird included beating them with a frozen chicken.
