Inaction, Reaction

I was walking down to the post office to pick my latest eBay purchase, when I walked past a 4x4 parked with its' engine running. There is not a lot you can do with these careless individuals pumping muck (diesel) into the air for no reason, (my mother lives by a railway crossing where 3 or 4 trains may pass before the gates open, and they all leave their engines on despite the signs) so I passed it by. Into the PO and I saw the guy at the counter mouth my name and head off for the returned parcels section (I'm a bit regular down there).
Walking back, glancing at my new comics, and the 4x4 was still sitting there, engine running (and it had been at least 10 minutes). I glanced up from the comic, looked at the bonnet of the 4x4 and (I thought) imperceptibly shook my head. No eye contact, nothing.
REV REV went the 4x4, "Your f*cking head will fall off!" shouted trhe merry driver. I ignored it and carried on walking (although on second thoughts, perhaps I should have gone back and asked him if he was shouting at me), and then got a load of horn noise as he drove off.
I think I scored a point there. I wonder what, if anything, was going on in his mind.

Probably trying to compensate for the lack of penis? Were there some teenage girls he may have been trying to impress?
Who knows with these eejuts!

There are a lot of bus drivers out there who leave the engines running, scared they won't start again if they switch them off. Could be your 4X4 driver has the same problem.

If that's the case then a service is badly needed!
