Today was a strange day. On my ride to school (4 miles), I was riding 20mph in a school zone. The car in front of me was going 20mph as well (nobody likes getting a $350 fine), so I decided to get in the right tire track to catch a little draft. A car comes up from behind me and stared to obnoxiously rev his engine and yell at me to get out of the way (despite the 4-ton SUV right in front of me). I just ignore it and at the 4-way stop, the car in front of me turned left and I continued straight. Right after getting through, pissed off driver floors in to pass me, but turns left only a block away. He had to wait for oncoming traffic, so I ended up passing him on the right. This started a cursing tirade, but I was going 20mph again so I didn't care much. I wish bikes had some loud revving noises for when the cars in front of me are going slower than I can ride.

After my first class, I went to the mall to get my work schedule, then over to the Red Wing store to get some mink oil. They're a small business and couldn't take debit and I forgot to get cash, so I ride over to the ATM. While in line, the car behind me is trying to inch forward in front of me. I asked what she was trying to do. "I'm in a car. Cars get first priority at drive-thru ATMs." She was dead serious. Looking like she is above logic, I turn around and wait for the car in front of me to leave. Just after I get my card in the slot, she blares the horn. Pro-tip: don't honk at people to hurry up at the ATM. Just because of her impatience, I withdrew $140 in $20 increments. 7 transactions is what you get, lady. I went and paid for the mink oil, then back to class. ride home was uneventful.

To summarize, today = wtf?
