Today, I was screamed at by a lady for riding my bike too slowly in front of her car. I was in the bike lane, and so was she. FML

Today, I got screamed and honked at by a driver who felt I was in the way of his turn. I was on foot, and on the sidewalk. FML
Today, I was taking a walk, when an elderly lady in a motorized wheelchair slammed into me from behind. There was plenty of room to pass by, but noooo, trying to run me down like a dog, then giving me the finger and yelling "Watch where you're walking!" is so damn preferable. FML
Today, I was on my way home on my bike when a lady in a 4WD cut me off while beeping her horn and calling me a "stupid f**ker who should get a proper education." In her car, she was smoking, and her three children weren't wearing seat belts. FML
Today, while I was walking to class, I was hit by a car. The driver stopped to let me cross in front of her, started moving again, hit me, and then yelled at me, saying it was my fault for walking in front of her. FML
Today, I was on my way to work behind a very slow car. At a red light, the lady came over and punched me in the face for following her too closely. We are coworkers and our desks are next to each other. FML
Today, my neighbor yelled at me for driving recklessly. I was going 35 mph, and she was stopped in the middle of a road around a blind curve. My "reckless driving" was slamming on the brakes so I wouldn't hit her. FML
Today, I was in a car accident. After screaming at the woman for running into me, I got in my car and drove off. As I was driving away, I was staring her down when I ended up rear-ending the person in front of me. FML
Today, I was riding my bike on the side of the road because there was no sidewalk. Then a car with a loud horn honked at me. Pissed off, I turned around and screamed "shut the fuck up!" It was my girlfriend's parents saying hi. FML
Today, my mother started cursing at a lady for tooting her horn at her in traffic, because there was "no need for road rage." When I tried to calm her down, she slammed on the brakes and told me to get out and walk. FML
Today, a woman yelled at me for holding a door open for her. FML

Did you even read the FML?

This has happened to me once. I honestly can't stand idiots who treat cyclists like crap. Or idiots in general for that matter.

Unfortunately, most -- and I mean MOST -- cyclists (at least around here in Cal) are complete assholes. If they have two yards to their right and they're driving a 35-55 mph curvy road, they're guaranteed to be riding right ON the lane designating the bike part of said road (I can understand narrow roads, trying to stay out of the way, actually WATCHING your dumbass kids so they don't try to ride out in front of a car, etc.). After years, I still see no explanation other than enjoying pissing everyone else off. That said, I agree that there are normal cyclists, but they're so rare that when I encounter someone on a bike being courteous, I actually smile.

I can attest to poor cyclist behavior here in So Cal. I've lived in other states and it's never seemed as bad as it is here. A lot of cyclists here seem disobey traffic laws and designated bike lanes. I watched a cyclist this morning cross a major intersection against a red light. He nearly caused a collision.

Sorry to hear about that. I live near DC, a somewhat bike-oriented city, so I've never seen anything that bad here. But it varies where you go in the US I guess.

#19, that's when I lay on the horn right as I go by them. Those ******* deserve it.

I do that when assholes block my exiting lane that they used to cut off other people

#19, I can't comment accurately, but here in the UK cycle lanes are usually full of gravel and broken glass, so we often avoid them. Plus, they're a bit narrow, and when you're on a bike, you need to be about half a metre from the kerb (at the very least) if you want to be seen and given space by cars. #49, you're a moron. It's because of people like you that we cyclists hate drivers. You do realise your horn was built to be heard clearly inside a car, whereas a cyclist has no ear protection whatsoever. I don't know your laws, but in the UK you're only ever meant to use the horn in a short beep 'to alert other road users to your presence', not as an obnoxious honk.

People are stupid you cant do anything about it but ignore it
chinaski7628 32
Hard to ignore them when they run you over....

Okay....but then they run you over. Doesn't seem to make sense

This wouldn't have been in Seattle, & you followed by a Honda driver?

Mrs. Magoo: "Road Hog!!!" Honestly, someone needs to invent stupid sticker dart gun. When someone does something stupid in their car, you shoot the stupid sticker at the car. Later, the cops can casually pull over the car with a bunch of stupid stickers on it.
slyde32 12
you should patent that, I'd be forever buying stupid stickers. I'm sure 75% of the town I live in found their lisence in a fruit loops box

I think your onto something here. Now you've just got to figure out how to make it work.

I had the same thought once then I realised, couldnt they take the stickers off?
91hayek 31
I would abuse the crap out of that sticker gun. Tagging all cars; even cop cars.

And it's because of people like #42 that ruin everything for others.

will shite , are you calling her insane boy. :)
JJ_86 22
I doubt she if she sould have been capable of that. Looking at how ignorant she is, she must have had no idea about the width of the car.

Was the other lane bumper to bumper? If not I don't see why she didn't pass you
tooindecisive 2
Geez how do these people get their licenses?!
Siettadulce 21
Couldn't have said it better myself.

Agreed. The British driving test has nothing other than 'move into the next lane' for passing a cyclist. My mother once tried to pass a cyclist on a narrow road, with a car coming the other way, and didn't even move over. It's people like her that get us hit by cars, because that test was forty years ago. In a world where Tour de France winners can get hit by a van, there's something wrong here.
