There's a first time for everything...

and today it was the first time - and probably the last - that someone shouted at me 'F***ing Nazi' repeatedly!

I simply objected to a 'gentleman' aggressively trying to stop me (was he a nutter? did he want money?) by pushing his bike into my legs. 
Granted, I could have just said 'Leave me alone, please' instead of barking 'Just f*** off!' but I saw red.

When we came home from our holiday 10 days ago, I was telling Adrian how I don't feel relaxed in London any more but always slightly on edge.

Said that, bad behaviour seems to be universal. One evening in SItges 4 American teenagers by the church saw Ricardo walking past and said 'One euro for the cripple'. They are lucky I didn't hear them as I was walking ahead, or they would have got a piece of my mind.

Maybe I am getting less tolerant of fools, or you could just blame it on my Mediterranean temper (although I'd like to add that I first glimpsed at the sea when I was 15 y.o.)

"Nazi?" Why? Mental illness?

Possibly...

People are getting so shitty anymore.

It's mainly because there are 7 billion people on this badly overcrowded planet now.

There wasn't even 3 billion when I was born!

This planet-according to scientists-is only big enough to handle 3 billion comfortably.

BIG HUGS

Sorry you have to endure such bullshit.

Cyclist being a dick. It happens more and more.
A friend says to always carry a box of raw eggs,
Though you'd need to wait for this one to get mobile before you lob it onto his back.

LOL! That sounds like a good idea!

"Nazi" is the absurdest word to associate with you. :)

Go for it! Tell them off, when they deserve it. Well done.

I've had similar experiences with baby carriages (Baby Assault Vehicles).

A very apt definition! They seem to get bigger and bigger...
