Guess I will bury yesterday's commute in this thread

I usually say let it go and ride on. Followed with "I don't always take my own advice".

Anyhow, I was riding to the bus yesterday while tired and very warm.
Bad combo for my temper.
Incidentally, I really could care less about bike lanes. However, If they are there I will use them.

Incident:>
I came upon a motorist in a SUV parked in the middle of the bike lane doing god knows what in his vehicle.
This irritated me beyond all belief and I smacked the side of his lovely gas guzzler with the palm of my hand. Mainly for two reasons.
1) It annoyed me
2) To push off his vehicle in order to miss his mirror. I was not looking that far ahead. For some reason I did not expect a parked SUV in a bike lane. Do people park in the middle of car lanes?

Expecting him to catch up to me and engage me in an argument I positioned myself between two cars at the next light. Actually it was more like I pulled up behind one car and another pulled up behind me.
Said fool then caught up to me.
Him> "You really shouldn't hit people's cars" <-yelling
Me> You really shouldn't park in a bike lane!
Massive cursing ensues. His big old double chins quivering in anger as I dished right back what he gave to me.
The final communication was me riding off into the busy intersection yelling very loudly "Waaahhhh you little [b word] and laughing at him.
I was quite amused that I finally managed to control my temper. Usually it boils over and I make absolutely no sense. This time I kept it at a simmer and had an amusing time screwing with the moron in the suv.

...and yes.... one should avoid these situations. blah blah blah I didn't represent cyclists very well. blah blah blah he could have had a gun...blah blah blah

One needs to blow off steam from time to time and I feel no remorse over my actions.
My wife did remark that someday I was going to be coming home with a black eye. Somehow I doubt I would have done this if the driver wasn't a middle aged 300lb middle management type.
