Depends on the situation, but lately I've been getting pretty upset with the a-hole drivers I've encountered.

This morning, for instance, I was only about 6 blocks from my house riding to work when I had a very unpleasant encounter with a guy in a Saab convertible. The street I was on has stop signs at almost every block so it's a lot of stop and go (though I'll admit, I often blow through when there is no traffic). This morning there was traffic and I stopped at this intersection. I waited for the driver to my right to make his right turn. I then proceeded forward but at the same time this jerk driving the Saab accelerates forward (he never came to a stop at his sign and obviously never looked around the intersection). We both stop in the middle and he yells at me "There's a stop sign there buddy!" and I yell back "That's why I stopped, waited for the other driver, and then took my turn! Watch the road!" And then angrily rode away.

This kind of thing is happening more and more often lately and it's really bothering me. I really need to work on being more relaxed and patient, and also more careful.
