Pedestrians... I want to kill them!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Fricking cycling round near Barbican yesterday on my way home and I'm approaching a set of traffic lights.. some silly person (I refrain from sexist cursing you note..) decides that they will try to cross the road in front of me, so I brake, they then change their mind so I speed up, then they change their mind again so by this time I have to slam on all the brakes... My chain wedges solid, my bike jackknives and I just about control it before jumping off backwards..

Now, thing is, had a car been coming behind I would have been under it (and possibly another one for sure)..

So there's me standing there, shocked, cursing and swearing and wondering how the heck I only managed to come off with only a sore groin..

and what does said person do??

just walk across the road not even looking in my direction to see if I'm OK..


That's it.. I am at war with moronic pedestrians!


There will be NO prisoners!

Nah, I think I'm raging because I woke up this morning and realise just how sore I am after such a near miss...

Nothing personal but hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Although to be fair before I say that I should check whether you were ignoring red lights, riding on pavements, going the wrong way up a one way street or any of that stuff that cyclist tend to do. :lol:

I bleedin' hate cyclists. Apart from HLer's of course :wink:

lol.. actually I am behaving myself a bit better this now as there's a bit of a crackdown on such behaviour by the COL police.. plus my bike ain't fast enough to pull half of that stuff off! :lol:

When I'm being a pedestrian, I tend to ignore everything like red lights and stuff, but actually when I'm being a cyclist I'm even more dangerous :lol:

Anyway, Gotter, my advice is give every type of person a predefined number of points, and just try to collect as many points as possible by hitting the right pedestrians ;D

Even when you shout at them, half of them are death..

I remember finishing a nightshift once and was bombing round a road and this women and her workmate or somthing walked straight onto the road without looking at the traffic.. I'm shouting and swearing to get out the way and still they don't notice anything..

Luckily it was only her bagel and coffee I hit at 20mph...

...and I was fricking wearing a white Ice hockey top at the time...

Road Rage eh!

I dont know about anyone else, but Im normally a chilled out, easy going kinda guy. I get on with most people, hardly ever argue with the missus, and Im generally a happy chap.

But when I get behind the wheel- the slightest provocation will get me foaming at the mouth. It doesn't even have to because someone has done something stupid- it's usually little things- like them trying to push in front of me when the traffic is queueing up. Nothing boils my p*ss more than someone thinking they can cut in.

Whereas in normal everyday life Id usually let it go, when im in the car I start effing and blinding.

Anyone else like this?
I'm just a-walking in the sunshine,
Leave your troubles all behind you,
I think I'll drink a little red wine,
I'll take you where they'll never find you

quite the opposite -where as day-to-day i do not suffer fools gladly (ie. at all -lest one is ithe instrument of their suffering) once behind the wheel i stay calm as fuck. partly because you can't actually get to the twats half the time to exact an appropriate punishment; but mainly because losing your rag whilst driving just adds to a dodgy -and therefore dangerous- situation.

Nice idea B, but I intend to sidestep the problem entirely. Fifty roubles and a bottle of vodka later...
