I stand corrected. The wife and I were out on a 30 mile morning ride and 6 spandex encrusted riders came around a corner going the other way and I said "hello" and I got a "get a helmet" shouted back at me. I resisted the instinct to yell "**** you", and yelled the much less pleasing "helmet nazi" back at them.
If I wasn't with my wife, I would have swung around and caught them and discussed the studies, and statistics of helmet use. And challenged their brainwashed attitude toward styrofoam yamaka use.
