A female driver shared the moment she was dressed up as the lead singer of KISS while being confronted by an angry driver in a bizarre road rage incident.
Charlotte Wood was on her way to a pole-dancing show with her face painted like rocker Gene Simmons on Saturday. The 22-year-old was driving in Stoke-on-Trent when she said a middle-aged man in a Skoda suddenly stopped in front of her.
She filmed it he stepped out of his car before marching towards her car in the rain. He leans in towards her and, although the audio is poor quality, appears to call her a 'b***h'. She asks in surprise, "what did you say?" as he returns to his car.

The unknown man appeared to shout an expletive at Charlotte through her car window (@omgcharl/TikTok)Charlotte then flips the camera to reveal her black and white face as she films her own bemused reaction. A short time later, she shared the footage on her TikTok channel @omgcharl and it has since amassed more than 20,000 views.
The pole dancer said she decided to film the incident as she was nervous about what he might do and that she has no idea why he seemed so mad at her. She told StokeonTrentLive: "I’m a pole dancer and I was driving to a show where we do an adult group performance dressed as the band KISS. I was driving down Sutherland Road and my turning was barricaded off due to an event on the car park.

"So I pulled over to the side and when I could make a U-turn I did so - the man drove past me and looked at me, to which I had no reaction as I too would stare at Gene Simmons driving a Mini in Stoke-on-Trent.
The pole dancer said the incident left her 'shook up' (@omgcharl/TikTok)"Anyway, the coast was clear so I drove off behind the blue Skoda. As soon as I turned my wheel he slammed his brakes on - the traffic was building up behind at this point. I can’t believe I didn’t hit him or nobody went into the back of me at this was a sudden stop."
Charlotte said he had the "craziest look" in his eye and could not help wonder what might have happened if she had not been filming. She continued: "And to then drive around Longton trying to find or intimidate me is a little nonsensical. I have absolutely no idea why this man was so angry, maybe he just wasn’t a KISS fan. I hope he finds his inner calm."
Charlotte said she attempted to report the incident to Staffordshire Police via 101 but says she was kept on hold for too long. She went on: "He then got out of his car. I was on my own so I immediately started recording as I didn’t know what this middle aged angry man was going to do or say. He got out of the car looking very agitated.
"He marched up to my window and shouted from what I can now decipher to be “Why, b***h?'. I said 'what did you say?', to which he replied almost calmly 'carry on'. I said 'sir, you’re wearing a wolf shirt'. He then got in his car and drove off. I parked my car on the nearest car park, I touched up my Gene Simmons make up, and posted the ordeal on my social media."
She said of the video that she wanted to "make people laugh at the extremely random occurrence" but also as a "friendly reminder" that, "crazy-eyed middle aged men will shout at young women at any chance they get."
Charlotte added: "At this point I thought the ordeal was over, only I looked up to see the man in his blue Skoda driving around the car park and circling me. I don’t know how many times he had done this in the 15 minutes I was in my car. I was a bit shook up because I didn’t know if I got out of my car whether he would be waiting to pounce on me. I waited until my friends arrived so we could then walk out together just in case."
