Most incredible surreal moment ever today

houndlegs

Making my way home from my ride today, I take a cycle track for about 8 miles,it's nice scenery and avoids a pig of a main road.
Now this track is very popular with walkers,kids on bikes dog walkers etc,so it's not one for bombing along on,just a nice gentle plod and take in the views.
I see this family up ahead,mum,dad 2 kids and a dog,and the kids was having great fun playing with the dog and generally running about.
The father looks behind and sees me,and turns back,I get behind them and I've slowed to walking pace by now, and the two grown ups are blocking the track so I can't pass,so I say excuse me please,and this is where it all gets a little weird.
The father says no I'm not moving for you,you shouldn't be cycling on here,I tell him politely its a sustrans route and I'm allowed on there.
He says I know it's sustrans but there are kids about,I must admit I was a bit flummoxed at this and didn't know what to say , I pointed out the fact I'd slowed to walking pace and no one was in any danger at all,but it made no difference.
With this the woman moved for me,so I scooted past,and this is where it got very weird indeed.
He said I was nothing but a hillbilly and then (wait for it) he started to grunt like a pig and moo like a cow.
I looked at his missus ,she shook her head and looked at the ground,the kids looked at him like he'd lost his marbles,and all the time grunting and mooing.
It was at this point I decided there was no rational sense to be had here is I carried on.
I could still hear him doing the farm impressions about a 100 yards up the track.
I didn't know wether to laugh,cry or phone the mental institute to see if they was missing anyone.
I must say though,I did chuckle all the way home after that

Next time, if you hear banjos, peddle like f@ck

Did he squeal?

Imagine if he'd done that to someone equally mental, we would be hearing about an unprovoked attack on a loving father and husband by a psychotic cyclist :roll:

What a fruit cake.

You should have pulled out a dirty big carving knife and shouted, "Whoopee, bacon for a year!". :twisted:

Man, all I got today was the predictable road rage.

Perhaps the guy really does have some sort of mental issue? Too weird to explain any other way frankly!

mallorcajeff

thats funny. I would have have said to the Mrs he need serous help and ridden off. She must be used to it. Wonder how he reacts in shopping car parks and this things when things dont go his way, by the wifes reaction shes prettu used to it. What a prat but rather than than some of the mental reactions we all read about.
(nicely written too may i add!)

Ha what a scone.... You did the right thing and ride on. Idiots like that are too predictable. Unless your built like a wall then maybe you should of just laughed at him....

I've just had the most incredible surreal moment ever...

I walked into my gym and I thought I was the only person there, but then I saw some woman sat down crying. When she saw me get on the treadmill she stood up, got one of those sanitiser wet wipes that clean the machines and she dried her eyes with it, then she left.

It speaks volumes about todays unfit society. When she wanted to be alone and some peace and quiet, she chose to go to a gym!!!! I'm not surprised she didn't choose to go McDonalds or some xbox games shop, I bet those places are heaving.

priory

wet wipes for the equipment is a major leap forward

I am ashamed to remember that I used to sweat all over the equipment and walk on. I genuinely thought that as the attendants clearly were not doing anything else they must swab the machines. It took me a couple of years to realise that literally nobody but me actually hit the gear hard enough to sweat.

Poor kids I say. Imagine the totally unbalanced adults they will become being brought up by this fool.

Nothing stranger than what folk say. While working in a newsagents one of the headlines regarding Simon Cowell said he orders black loo roll. This old bloke buying the paper read it out loud then followed it by saying that he must like black blokes then. I was speechless and just couldn't reply as he was clearly barking mad!
