I liked this as it's kind of true.

The Daily Mash

64% of driving favours totally unacknowledged

IF you reverse to let another driver pass they will probably not even wave, it has emerged.

The Institute for Studies found that 64% of road-based courteousness was not acknowledged by the recipient, not even with a fucking nod of the head.


Professor Henry Brubaker said: “From personal experience, I reversed literally half a mile down a tortuous side street to let this guy in a silver Audi get by.

“You kind of think that might earn a raised hand, a mouthed ‘cheers mate’ or even a cheeky wink, but no. He just sped past like a massive twat.

“I don’t mean to sound petty or needy but I gave him the milk of human kindness and he spat it into my face. “Now I’ll never do anything nice for another human ever.”


Mother-of-two Emma Bradford said: “I stopped at a junction to let a man in a new Mini pull out, even though the drivers behind started honking impatiently. “But he didn’t even look me in eye. It’s not a big deal however it was eight years ago and I think get angry when I think about that ignorant fucking son of a bitch.”

“I know you shouldn’t expect anything in return for being helpful, but all he needed to do was use the muscles in his arm to elevate his hand.

“Thinking about it makes me want to puke.”

If they don't acknowledge me they get the coffee shake.

The ones I hate are the agressive drivers who force you to give way when it's actually your right of way and then shout abuse at them if you don't give them a wave !!!
