    It would be nice to have an alternative to the short shout that cannot be misinterpreted as aggression.

    I shout "BEEP BEEP". It always gets a smile and usually gets the job done.

    Reported this to my local TD just now - not particularly local to O'Connell st. but maybe its enough, all he has to do is make a call to the corpo hopefully.

    If everyone does the same thing? Only takes a second, most of the TD's are on facebook now! :)

    Good man yourself. I noticed yesterday that this had been remedied - I hazard a belief that maybe the exchanges in this thread may have been at least partially responsible?!

    Personally, I've resolved to be proactive should a similar situation arise in future, and f**king do something immediately instead of ruminating and poasting like a little flake

    If I'm in a bad mood the phrase "LITTLE RED MAN" at pedestrians usually gets them to jump back. Relieves a bit of stress as well. :D

    To be honest in situations where somebody steps out right in front of you yelling anything (generally instinct will mean swearing) as loud as you can is the only option. JESUS ****ING CHRIST YOU HOLY ****ING **** **** **** ****

    In situations you can do otherwise you probably have the opportunity of just stopping.

    From what I've witnessed recently I get the impression that a fire-breathing dragon cycling a bicycle in Dublin City would go completely unnoticed.

    Wow, well, not sure if its anything to do with me sending the TD a message but two thumbs up to him if so.

    I've been using "Mind your left/right" for a while with pedestrians. The only problem is that in some situations it takes me a second to think which is their right or left and I end up going: "Mind your left! ... [Over shoulder] I mean right."

    I shout 'beep beep' at people. Usually gets a smile as well.


    Hmmm, just looked over the thread and someone just said almost exactly the same thing as me.

    I finally put a bell on my commute bike today, to be fully legally compliant really, but it's great fun to bing! to warn people! :D

    I'm very easily amused really.
