very friendly driver this morning

So this morning just before I reached my work, I was coming to an intersection, light was red there were two vehicles one on the right and one on the left waiting for the light to change. My face was covered with a balaclava. I was gona be making a left turn so I went in the middle between the two vehicles and stopped.
The vehicle on the right had a window rolled down and the driver a young guy started talking to me. He said he seen me coming up behind and he thought for a moment that I was trying to sneak up on him and rob him. I just laughed and told him no I would never do that, I am only going to work like everybody else. So he just laughed about it and started asking me questions. He asked if I was cold and I said no , I said as long as I keep moving then I am ok. He then realized that I was cycling because I like it and not because I am a DUI or something. The conversetion went on for a while, he asked me reasons why I was bike commuting and he complemented my bike. Then when the light finally changed just before he drove away he told me to stay safe and have a merry christmass.
I wish more drivers were so polite towards cyclist.
