Road RageLast 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?

Old Man V Suit GuyI was the mediator in this one; I was walking home from work recently when I spied a guy in a suit cycling on the pavement. I was delighted then to see him stop rather abruptly as an old man (possibly alcoholic) who was walking in the opposite direction started whacking his bike with a cane he had been hobbling along on. Suit guy got off his bike as the old man was jabbing the cane into his spokes and started REALLY shouting. This didn't please old man who then started jabbing suit guy in the ribs. Suit guy proceeded to pick his bike up almost over his head and went to attack poor old, old man. That's when I caught up with them so I jumped in, grabbed the bike and pushed suit guy away. It was never going to be a fair match, especially considering their weapons of choice, and luckily suit guy managed to calm down, get back on his bike and ride off. To give him his due though old man never stopped hurling fecks and cnuts from start to finish.
