We tend to invent our own problems and play them as movies on the big screen of our minds.
There was a guy on the forums who had occasion to ride his bike near a man driving a convertible Porsche with a beautiful woman in the passenger seat. The fact that the driver of the Porsche did not acknowledge the cyclists presence or look at him was a clear indication to the cyclist that the driver was intimidated by the cyclists and intentionally ignoring him.
We are a pretty narcissistic bunch.
