My Tolerance Ran Out

I live in a lovely place and never want to move. I fully accept that my car (and sometimes me) will be used as a toilet by seagulls. I accept that tourists park badly and that I can never find a parking space in the town centre. I am tolerant of tourists who walk four abreast on the pavement, so I cannot get past and then they stop dead in their tracks to point at something, causing a pedestrian pile up. I am very tolerant of their numerous ridiculous questions ("How deep is the sea?" "Where will I find Dracula's grave?")
I finally lost it yesterday. I rarely venture out on a Bank Holiday but I had to go pick up Youngest Junior Overall from work (he has a holiday job).
Driving along, at 20mph with no other cars behind me, on THREE occasions a group of tourists looked, and then crossed the road directly in front of me, causing me to slam on the brakes. All three groups subjected ME to a torrent of abuse! The finale was a motorist coming the wrong way down a one way street towards me who also subjected me to a selection of Anglo Saxon words.
I snapped. I got out of my car and the 6'4" menacing looking driver got out of his car, still swearing at me. I pinned him against his car and calmly had a chat with him about the error of his ways. He ended up offering me a grovelling apology and he said he hoped he would bump into me in town in a pub so he could buy me a drink.
Result! I was feeling pleased with myself right up to the moment my son said "Oh mum, you are sooooo embarrassing."

Good Morning Early Birds!

/// where is Dracula's grave ? /// Did he not end up having ''a very large steak'' on the seafront ( or ''the front'') & then disappeared & was never seen again. ( I also have it on good authority that he is genuinely 6 feet tall, wears killer heels & can be seen in Whitby constantly harassing frightened motorists & causing constant changes of underwear)

No wet suits were involved!
If you really want to know, I was sporting a golden tan, a short t shirt and nothing else. It could have been a delightfully artistic photo but the composition was wrong. I had my head down the toilet after eating some dodgy prawns.
