Road Rage
Last week I had to stop a guy attacking another one in the middle of the road - one had run the lights whilst on the phone and the other had objected. I actually had to take the attacker's car keys out of their car and tell him he wasn't getting them back till he calmed down.
Looking back on it, I was lucky I was feeling all parental and in control or the situation could have panned out very differently.
Have you lost it on the roads, or have you been on the recieving end of some nutter?

Cig Rage
One fine, sunny day I was waiting for a tram and decided to light up a nice fag while I waited.
As I took the first puff, this woman crosses the road to the tram stop, stands in front of me, coughs into my face, then crosses the road back again and walks on.
On a clear sunny day. In Holland. I'd just met the only person in Holland who not only didn't smoke, but had a hang-up about it worth crossing the road for.
Back then it was quite legal to smoke in offices, never mind outside. Nowadays in Britain, of course, freaks like that get put in the government.
(Sorry for the length, maar hier zijn wij al zo lang.)
