Have a nice day!

So, out on the club ride this morning and we were to the left side of the lane to make a left turn. This lovely woman, probably 60ish, is behind us in her shiney red pontiac sunfire. I think I hear someone talking to me and turn around and look at her through her open window. She says something like "blah blah blah road blah blah blah....A$$HOLE!"

We must have delayed her 2 seconds. I hope she has a lovely day :D

Oh, My! Isn't it shocking when you politely turn to hear what someone's saying, and they're swearing at you? Sorry to hear she was a jerk. Hope you had a good ride. L.

Could she have been on the phone?

Could she have been on the phone?

Oh no, she looked right at me and scowled as she said it.

I hope the rest of your ride went well.

[betagirl]

It did. It really didn't bother me. If anything I'm just happy I'm not that crabby first thing in the morning. Maybe she should ride her bike more often :rolleyes:

[Veronica]

Or get her mouth rinsed out with soap. :D

I learned many, many years ago, as a astudent, when I had to pick up my bike and turn it around to ride the other way when someone got out of a car after me, (I had returned the middle finger greeting) that the best thing to do with an irate driver is to pretend to be so stupid you think they are being nice and friendly. I always stupidly smile and wave. They give up if they think you are too stupid to even insult.

I especially like the ones that try to run over you on their way to church on Sunday morning. How Christianlike of them! (Which probably explains why I pray more on my bike than at any other time.)

I love doing that. I like to act like I know them. I always wave really big and yell "hey, how you been?"- then after they leave I say a few choice words to myself- then I'm over it. I'm sure it makes them even angrier that I smile and wave... bwaaaaa haa haaa :rolleyes:

I blow kisses and then smile and wave.

While riding with Brandy this morning, there was another biker who came up just behind and to the right of us. Slightly in a dedicated right turn lane. Not one second after the light turned green, a VW bus with a couple of youngs kids honked at him. :rolleyes:

Geez, people - 2 seconds is not going to make you late for anything!!!

Just think that she is much closer to her death in her stupid shiny car than any one of us riding our bikes. Let he poison just eat herself. Just take it easy and enjoy every moment of your rides!
