The trick is to dump the mindset -- it doesn't contribute to how you ride, your safety, or your enjoyment.
People yell things at me from time to time. I truly have no idea of what they're saying, but I imagine it's "Good riding to you!" Or words to that effect anyway....
If someone is trying to engage you in confrontation, the last thing you want to do is fall into their trap by getting ruffled. A friendly wave (or word in extreme cases) confuses the hell out of most people and they leave you alone after that
