It's the rare but memorable one out of a hundred that makes the others uncomfortable.
I have never noticed the people who do that sort of stuff EVER slow down beforehand, and I live in an area quite notorious for harassment. Generally, I experience an incident like that approximately once every 100 miles, and I ride about 175-225 miles per week.
Being uncomfortable is not a real safety concern. btw.
