The perils of middle age!!

[essayel]

My 83 year old mother has just been offered physical violence [ie 'I'll smash your face in'] by a stocky, crop haired, orange faced troglodyte of a woman who had narrowly missed running Mum over with her car. The terms bitch, twat and fucking cunt were used as well plus a number of interesting hand gestures.

I can't think of any reason why one's own bad driving should be immediately translated into murderous rage, other than that she was having a bad menopause, can you?
