He won't roll down the window and just waves me on.
Passes me a bit later, turns out he was picking up the walker. I don't think he even realized how close he came to making me crash. Just saw a friend and decided to pick him up.
My wife and I were riding Saturday and a guy in a Honda Civic starts squeezing me over to the right. I see he's talking on the phone so know my bell, yelling, etc won't help. So I start banging on his trunk - nothing. He turns right into a McD's and I followed (my wife's hanging way back). He pulls into the drive through and I come up behind and start yelling for him to pay attention. He STILL doesn't see or hear me, he's ordering like nothing's unusual. I gave up - some people are just too stupid.
No commute today, living vicariously through you all
