"The freaks come out at night, the freaks come out at night..."

Went to Chinatown for dinner w/ friends after work. I arrived early, cooled off, put my work shirt back on and was presentable, bordering on fashionable. On the way home, it was night time so my headlight blinkie and rear blinkie were on.

Freak #1: On a quiet one lane street, an SUV attempts to squish me into a line of parked cars as he drives closer and closer to the parked cars while I'm riding next to him. It was dark so my blinkie was on plus I had pulled even w/ him on the driver's side so I know he saw me. As he squeezed me, I rapped my knuckles on his rear quarter panel to tell him to move over. It didn't work so I just slowed down and passed him on the passenger's side instead.

Freak #2: Woman runs directly at me despite my blinkie headlight flashing in her face on a well lit street. I hit the brake (just a front brake on my fixie) and she finally gets out of the way when we're about a 1' apart. I kindly tell her to "get the f*ck out of the way *****head!". She mumbles something about being sorry. She apparently was running to her illegally parked car.
