Seems to happen to me quite frequently. Why do people do this?
Most recently, while on my bike at traffic lights a car full of youths started getting lairy:
"Get a car it's quicker!" "And while you're there get a haircut."
My unspoken response to the first was "Not in Brighton it's not." ZING To the second I was tempted to ask them where I might be able to find this intriguing barber/garage fusion. But out of fear of becoming a statistic I didnae.

Dude. You don't need to point that out on ILX.

There is the comforting fact that the shouters are much more likely to become statistics, sooner or later.

OTM. Teenagers borrowing their parent's car and then driving around shouting at people? I just ignore it. It'll catch up with them eventually - they'll take the piss out of the wrong person and get beaten up by a gang or something. If they're lucky they'll learn sooner. Like the time I saw some kids in a car shouting at a guy, but the car got stuck in traffic and the man just went up to them, pulled out some keys... SKKKRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE "try explaining that to your dad"

once a very small boy with a tearstained face appeared at my front door and shouted, 'I HATES PEOPLE I DO, I HATES EVERYONE...EXCEPT FOR YOU AND MY MUM', then my neighbour, who was babysitting him, appeared and took him back to her house. i was flattered to be on his shortlist after such a short acquaintance, i suspect he was a charmer.

Ha, I got shouted at by some kids in car which then had to stop at the lights, the looks on their faces as I caught up with them was priceless.

The best being shouted at in the street I can remember is a smallish child who decided to yell "Hail Caesar!" at the top of his lungs at me and a mate, as I was trying to convince said mate that ormskirk was an odd place at the time it was quite helpful.

I used to work in a school. One time I was walking past the main building when one of the kids stuck his head out of a second floor window and said "oi wanker!". I looked up and he just went "er, alright then mate..." before ducking back inside with a classic "oh shit I'm in trouble" look on his face.

Funny, it's never adorable kiddies that that I see yelling at random strangers uptown after dark.
