Four blocks from my apt. Minding my own business on a two lane road, passing parked cars, I hear the squeal of tires as a car behind me slams on brakes. I swerve to the right since i'm just passing parked cars and I don't know what's going on behind me. I don't want to get rear ended, that's for sure. I look back now that i'm safe to the side, some guy is directly behind me, revving and braking alternately and honking. He turns right onto a street as we pass it, I slow down and glare, he stops, rolls down his window and yells in a thick Armenian accent, "Get out of way, get on .. (indecipherable, assume 'on sidewalk') .. mother****er!" We both go on our way, having lost about 5 seconds from our respective commutes.

That ruined my ride mentally for a few blocks, but after that it wasn't too bad, although it did seem like more inconsiderate drivers were on the road compared to usual. Faster cars because of less traffic (people off work this week I guess), passing closer than is normal, maybe bitter because they didn't get Christmas presents they wanted?
