What is it with Cabbies?

lol, i've thought about that - sticking em on cabs. What would these stickers say? Something that other drivers will see and provoke a reaction

"England for the English", "I sell premium grade COCAINE", something like that.

or "honk if you think i'm a twat"

brilliant idea, but it would be breaching on vandilism,we dont want to be seen as criminals do we??

They'd be none the wiser.

but other people would be.

OK, don't make them permanent. How about 'point of impact' or a sticker that looks like scratch. Black cabs are not allowed to operate if there are any bumps or scratches

how about "i hate cyclists" should get a few results

nice, tally marks next to it to show how many he/she has hit. Simple sticker.

we used to have 'Cyclests beware this drive is an ASS WHOLE' and 'I almost killed a cyclest and all i got was this stupid sticker' stickers that we would put on cars

I was intentionally almost hit a few weeks ago by a black cab - he wasn't happy about me waiting in front of him in the cycle box at a red light so tried to force his way past, sending me into some parked cars. The side of his cab brushed against my knee at speed and it was close to miraculous I wasn't hurt.

He got even more pissed off when I asked whether he was mentally challenged. I set off, he tried to run me off the road again. At the next light he was still shouting so all I said was "48916" and he buggered off as soon as he could.

Hit these fuckers where it hurts. If they have genuinely and intentionally endanged your life, report them - which can be done confidentially. You never know who it might help if they eventually do serious injury and they have something already on their record.

what is 48916?? is it his cab number??

Pretty sure that was the number, I have it written somewhere. But you get the idea...

It is a special code. All cab drivers are actually robots and this is the code that turns them off.

haaaa

any one rember the cabbie witht the knife from last CM?

lol, no, but there's always U Lock Justice. If i had one within easy reach (i.e frame-mounted), and someone clearly deliberately tried to hurt me, i would easily smash his passenger window.
What? What did you say cabbie, BAM!

lpg its all right hippy, u can say the f word here ...

No actually I can't. If there's too many swear words in a thread my company blocks my access. So, I have to wait until I get home to read it!
Must fscking annoying! I'm so in the habit of typing fsck now it's automatic. I'd actually like to have this auto-censored. I'm anti-censorship but I WANT to read threads with swearing.
Stupid office security measures.. it's a real cnut too coz I have such a foul mouth normally..

Examples for you to use that help me read threads and emails:
FSCK CNUT SH1T @RSE B@STARD SL\/T VVANK T1TS

cool il remember them

I usually like, "you swinefucking son of an infidel rat born from the ass of satan, may you be eternally flagellated with the shoes of your enemies and their childrens children as you wallow in the urine of dogs weeping tears of blood!"

Either that or something in haiku. Everyone loves haiku.

basically all cabbies, (apart from my mate duane), are complete tossers.
have had many a row with every cabbie going... incluing a big row on the K road one saturday morning.
it wasn't pretty and turned into a HUGE full on tear up. oh well lucky us cyclists are fit and can hold are hands up..
but 7am and scuffing it about seems silly to me... even if he was a complete cunt.
why do they think they own the road...?

i meant our...

awesome..7am, sleeves rolled up, set-to in the street, like men.

could be dangerous, nearly all of them are tooled up

Simply tell em you're from the Inland Revenue and you'd like there receipts for the last 12 months gross earnings.
They'll vanish almost instantly.

the funniest incident i've had with a cabbie was when i wasn't even on the road- i'd pulled over to concentrate on a phone conversation and dragged my bike onto the pavement where i sat on it. next thing i hear is a whole lot of beeping and shouting from behind me; a cabbie pulling a u-turn had run out of room and wanted to bump up the pavement where i was standing,. unluckily for him i was in a piss poor mood and taking offense at his honking and shouting and nudge on my rear wheel from his bumper i refused to move and proceeded to scream and shout. longish story short he got out squared up to me and i lost it big time (verbally), resulting in him running back to his cab like a little girl.

don't think i had any good insults but if you say it the right way anything can be super offensive.

A bit long winded for a cabbie but I used it when a guy in a convertible cut me up.

I caught him up a few miles later in traffic and pulled up at his passenger side and said to his girlfriend
"next time you have a bikini wax save the trimmings and knit him some driving gloves because he drives like a cu*t"

and rode off, actually originally heard from my old man :)

Often a short loud shout of "PRICK" works well enough
