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?

Chequered box junctions
The end of my road has the aformentioned yellow box, means you can't enter if the exit is not clear. Trying to get out of my road is a real bitch at the best of times, but luckily a set of lights are 20 meters up the road, meaning traffic usually stops to let you out when red.
In a rush to get somewhere, I'm sat there waiting, lights go red, get ready to move, when some old chap decides to park across the junction. I'm blocked in, and competely lose it.
After beeping the horn, I decide that isn't enough as he hasn't realised what he's done, so I wound the window down, shouted a torrent of abuse, including the phrase 'you fucking cunt' pointing at the box and telling him where he can stick it.
Lights change, he drives off, and the nice chaps in the white van behind let me out as they're too busy pissing themselves laughing!
