after 2 punctures, a ruined tyre, 3 miles of walking and a finally a boris bike journey for the last 1/3 of my commute the fucking cherry on the top of the shit gateau that was this morning was the fuckknuckle cabtwunt who decided that rather than let me wait for more than 2 seconds for a gap to pull out from london wall onto the museum of london roundabout he would try to overtake me and pull out alongside by forcing his way past on my right in to a gap where the only way to turn into the roundabout would involve immediately turning left straight into me.
I (quite rightly) enquired what exactly the fuck he thought he was doing only to be told I was a fucking idiot and I need to pull out, into the literal stream of traffic in which there had not been a single gap.
I politely told him that for a professional driver he must be a bit of a dumb cunt because he didnt seem to grasp the concept of roundabouts and despite his protestations and our continued conversation there still had not been a single gap into which I could have pulled out with forcing oncoming traffic to have to brake to avoid hitting me. I then reiterated that he was a stupid cunt and jumped into the first gap. holding my line to prevent him passing me around the roundabout. so instead he sat with his engine in the red a foot away from my rear wheel while I rode directly behind the minicab 4 feet in front of me up until he turned off towards smithfields.
the stupid prick didn't even have a fare on board but couldn't wait 5 seconds at a fucking roundabout.
his wing mirror was within arms reach. given my morning to that point I think i did well not trying to confiscate it.
