Pete Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 What is it with a lot of guys in their 20s? Many seem permanently angry with the world. Take one of my employees this morning. There's a T junction and bend just around the corner. I turn into our road and round the bend when I see a flash of silver in the opposite way and hear tyre screeching. Look into my rear view mirror to see an MG-ZS (just the same as my employees) sliding sideways on wet roads across the T junction over two lanes and into the path of a van. How it missed anything I've no idea! Can't be him I think as it's going the wrong way. I'm opening up when he pulls into the car park. "That wasn't you drifting earlier was it?" I ask in disbelief. "I've had a bad drive in this morning" he replies shaking and angry. I gently advised him that he should take it easy or he's going to hurt himself or someone else. What I've not figure yet is why he came to work, sat in the car park, then zoomed off (as other staff put it). I'll have a word when he's calmer I think.

I blame the Spice Girls. I guess..I just feel as I get older I become calmer and more in control of these feelings and can see it in others. As for women - totally right. They're behaving more like blokes nowadays. There's still no excuse for driving dangerously like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very introvert and quiet normally. I suspect there's ticking to be heard from within his head when up close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I guess..I just feel as I get older I become calmer and more in control of these feelings and can see it in others. I feel the same, by the time I'm your age I'll be seriously chilled! I used to have a very short fuse and bad temper when I was younger.

turbonut Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 As for women - totally right. They're behaving more like blokes nowadays. you just don't like to think we're competing on the same level as you anyway, thats a hairdressers car - maybe he was having a bad hair day Yeah, tbh we all get days like that and its too easy to floor it in a supra, that angry roar from a straight six can be quite satisfying lolxx L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden1989 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 some young guy spat at my window because i wouldnt move over more into the right hand lane at a roundabout (i would have been past the white line if i had) He shouted a few select words and did a bit of a hand jive for a few minutes, the car infront pulled away so he had room to pass me, then he spat at my window I think iv found out who he is though, so a bit of payback time might be in order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra_dan Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 With myself being 24 years young I know what an angry young 20 person can be like. But I don't take my anger out on my cars or anyone else, that could put them in danger. Sure it will pass eveything does with Beer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 you just don't like to think we're competing on the same level as you Nothing to do with competing. It's that women are generally more rational in nature. You can't really argue with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
