"I'm Ronnie Pickering" -- UK Road Rager Becomes Hilarious Meme After Losing It At Motorcyclist
A British driver found internet fame recently after a video of him getting very angry at a motorcyclist went viral. His name is Ronnie Pickering. You'll know that because he says it quite a lot in the video. Pickering is from Hull in the UK and gets annoyed at a guy riding a scooter because he doesn't seem to move at a junction as quickly as Pickering would like.
Such is his annoyance that Pickering offers the moped driver to fight him in a bare-knuckle boxing match. But not before he let's the motorcyclist know who he is. He's Ronnie Pickering. His rage is so great, his name stating so hilarious, that the internet quickly raised the altercation to meme status. Of particular interest was an exchange where Pickering says, "Do you know who I am?" And the motorcylist says "Who?" to which Ronnie mutters the immortal line: "I’M RONNIE PICKERING." Red in the face, he looks like he's about to explode.
Since the incident Pickering has stepped forward and offered an apology for his unbridled rage. He told a local paper, "I'd like to apologise for my outburst. I am not an aggressive guy. He was baiting me so I thought I would give him a few of my thoughts."
But apology or not, the line "I'm Ronnie Bickering" has now entered internet infamy. Here's some of the memes and hilarity he inspired.
