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?

Parking Rage (close enough)It winds me up more than almost anything I can think of when people use the mother & baby parking at supermarkets, when they don't have babies with them. Having had to park at least twenty yards further away than if I had been able to use one of the spaces, I was already feeling narky. When I saw a middle aged sailing type plop his BMW into a baby bay and wander off into Tesco I decided to take a polite, but firm stand.
I walked up to him as he queued for his lottery ticket, excused myself and politely explained that those spaces were for people who were here with children, and not people too lazy to walk an extra twenty yards. I then went off to buy scampi with my son, feeling very self righteous.
We had just got to the scampi aisle when he comes storming towards us, grabs the front of my jumper and starts screaming about how dare I embarass him in front of the queue (perhaps he was a regular?). It was quite strange, because a) I was in the right, and b) I was quite a bit bigger than him. So I threw him into the freezer, smacked him on the head with some potato croquettes, pulled his deck shoe off and lobbed it over the top into the next aisle.
We left him there went on our merry way to buy some sweets so that mummy would never know.
Length? I gots childrens don't I?
