Somehow I find insults based on looks always distasteful. I am happy to call people stupid though. Maybe that's not fair either.
I also use small dick based stuff coming from me towards BMW anti social overtaking behavior /cutting up cos I drive a tiddly Hyundai. A bit sexist perchance.
What IS acceptable in these PC days...? ;) Pile of shite?
Last spontaneous insult was "bunch of knobcheeses" 4 boy racers doing 70mph on a 50mph road.

I just refrain from insults*. They just mean that I get angry, and the other person gets angry. I suspect this does not make the world a better place. If the person acting stupidly is genuinely stupid then pointing out their stupidity is unlikely to help, since they will simply carry on being stupid. If they're not stupid then it'll either be a one-off they won't repeat or they'll work it out for themselves.
Rather than resorting to insults, when annoyed by the stupidity of others, I roll my eyes skywards and tut. When truly exasperated, I might even shake my head dolefully and sigh. Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.
- I do not always succeed in this task. I did call the man sitting next to me on an Easyjet flight a few weeks ago a cunt. But he deserved it. There's only so many times I can be elbowed, hard, in the rib-cage for no good reason while I'm trying to sleep before even head-shaking and sighing becomes inadequate.

Fair point. I don't always succeed either. There was a prime example of "driving license with pack of cornflakes" driving last week which managed to get my goat. A mouthed "idiot" and bird flipping resulted.
But it was probably somebody who didn't care what others think anyway, else they wouldn't have swerved over lanes for about a mile and nearly caused a collision while changing lane. Your "too stupid rule" probably applied :)
I guess to me the frustration is "where is the police" and "why did I have to suffer for 10 months to get my license and see this idiot" whereas it's better to treat it as a natural phenomenon that strikes when it does.
"The wind of the cuntish driver". "it's raining legally blind idiots". Etc.

I too like to blow kisses in the direction of those who trespass against us...
although yesterday afternoon in rush hour i discovered a much more spiritual way of coping. Minding my own business, i was suddenly startled by "incons'idiot bastards who thought it would be funny to air horn me when passing in their Van. I flinched of course, not expecting to hear the loud noise... lucky for me the offenders were trapped at the following light. On the approach i could see the window wind up so i knew i was within their line of sight. I slowed down to do a deliberate sign of the cross finished with a kiss and point to the sky like i was about to commit an act that would take a lifetime of repentance to forgive.
Felt pretty good

Yesterday I was riding along, wearing sensible cycling attire (vintage dress with full skirt), thinking about the evening ahead. I stopped at some lights, but when I went to go, I couldn't move - looking down, the hem of my dress had got trapped between the top of my wheel and my forks. I was wedged in place by my clothes. I managed to to shimmy over to the side of the road and onto the pavement, and then had to spend some time trying to pull the dress free (ripping it/cutting it was not an option... at one point I thought it might be completely stuck and I fleetingly considered taking the dress off to get a better angle).
Perhaps I need to reconsider my wardrobe.

Fit mudguards. I can confirm that this has never happened to me while riding a bike with mudguards.

From a detergent ad: something about her "vintage dress".
Don't you have any vintage culottes?

Culottes for city cycling; floaty skirts for punting down the river, no?
I thought everyone knew that?

^ What does this mean? I should wash my clothes more too?

Maybe you should ask in the youtube comments
