Sat at my home office desk this morning and with double glazed windows closed, for some minutes I heard unbelievable female screaming and shouting from the house opposite. Fearing something dreadful, I looked out of the window to see front door open and sheepish ten year old boy come out followed a few seconds later by irate mother. Slamming the front door, she unlocked the car, they both climbed in, and she then slammed her car door too so hard that I winced. With no seat belt for either occupant, reverse gear crunched in on the third or fourth attempt, and no use of rear view mirror (she was looking at son throughout), she shot out backwards in to the street, missing the dropped section of kerb with one side of the car and riding up the kerb and on to the verge the other side. With high revs, clutch slip, and wheelspin in equal measure she then shot off up the road.
I was amazed that half an hour later she and the car both arrived back home intact, but perish the other commuters my normally meek and mild neighbour shared roadspace with! I have no idea what sparked off mother, but it will be interesting to see what happens when laddy gets home having walked from the school bus drop-off any time now!

Sounds a bit like a domestic version of 'angry van-driver syndrome' that typically affects van drivers who think they've just finished for the day when the boss sends them off on another job!

Or a popular supermarket delivery driver who got politely asked to slow down when she hurtled down into our yard, narrowly missing a dog and scaring a horse.
She attempted to storm away wheels screeching etc, but instead stalled the lorry about 6 times in a row. We called said supermarket and I later passed her parked in a layby receiving a good ticking off on the phone from the manager.
She came back shortly afterwards and apologised... and delivered the shopping. :P

I reckon the 10 year old had just told his mum that he had ridden his mountain bike into the side of the Volvo estate belonging to the nice gentleman who lives opposite ...........

He he, cheddar!
No, that was another neighbour but well remembered as it was nigh on three years ago, now.
|
|
Had that happened before then?, no I dont recall, I was just 'aving a laff, well there's a coincidence.
|
|
Strange that I should dream up a scenario so close to the truth, very strange.

"I have no idea what sparked off mother"
Son may have missed school bus forcing mother to take him in.

Nice try, but the time of leaving was normal (Driven in and bussed home each day). I still reckon BBD has it right!

Psychometric testing should play a part in the licencing process.

Ten years old? Porn Stash?
I was a late developer then.

When I was 10 I found my father's porn stash! LOL

Perhaps mum found his pawn stash - the family silver....
