I went on a ride down to the store with 3 friends on sunday. We planned to go early (8amish) to avoid traffic, but it rained until 10:30, so we ended up leaving at 12:30. The trip is about 8 miles, there are no bike lanes.

We had no trouble other than some people buzzing us on the way there (one of whom a cop got for doing it, he was also going about 20 over, that was a nice moment). While we were leaving the store and still in the parking lot, we had one woman whom we were NO WHERE NEAR yell at us to "get on the f'ing sidewalk". What sidewalk?!?! We're in a parking lot lady. My friend gave her the finger, and we made out way out of the lot.

Then not 200 yards down the road we had a completely different person chuck a nearly full water bottle at us. Thankfully he missed.

It's not a daily thing so far though. I bike to school every day on some back roads and haven't had much trouble except for when the shuttle drivers drift over into the bike lane (which is not nearly up to spec anyways).
