Went to Sainsburys today to get petrol - there were two stations "available" but cones were placed at first one (out of action) so knew there was a problem. Stopped at second one (behind first one) - got petrol and needed to back out from the cones - lipread car behind me and they were raving mad - I got out of my car went up to them middle-aged man and woman and told them that I was sorry cones were in my way and sorry you have road rage or should have been garage rage. They nearly Sugar themselves cos I am sure they would not have known I was able to lipread them. rant over - felt good after it tho - there are so many angry drivers on the road it cracks me up.
Hee hee...once on holiday in Spain we had to share a table with German couple who moaned complained and spoke about us the whole time....I am fluent in German but did not let them know until the last meal ....should have seen their faces when I told them I cared not for them and their rude ways !...I did throw in that we also won the war for good measure !..lol
people are entitled to all the rage they want as long as they don't do anything about it. As petal says, it sounds as if they were just letting off steam. You could have left them to it; what's the harm?
Minty, I once had some friends of friends staying with me from overseas. They made the mistake of making an unflattering comment whilst I was making my first cup of tea of the day.........
