Passing on the left when I am clearly both positioned and signalling for a left turn ... and then showing me their middle finger. These sorts of things are infrequent because most people try to behave, thank goodness. I just don't understand it. Are their lives so miserable that they are only entertained by the little games they invent in their minds. I just shake my head and hope karma treats them justly (but not too gently).
That's just sad.
I've had a few negative encounters myself, but thankfully they are rare. I had a woman today on a right-turning lane asking if she could cut in front of me onto a left-turning lane.

Hell NO, I replied..JK, of course I let her in.

No worries, there is a bike lane on that road I'm turning on to so I get to blow past all this traffic.
