In honor of Bike to Work Day, I got yelled at by a car on the way home for the first time. Also the first day I took the shorter street route instead of the longer MUP route (been riding about a month full time, 1-2x a week before that for about a year). Was over in the left lane for about 100 yards to make a left turn, get passed on the right and yelled at (just a benign "get over to the right idiot!") then he merges into my lane and turns down the same street I was going down.

And then by the next red light I was right behind him again. Wanted to pull up and ask him if the yelling helped him get where he was going quicker, but I figured sitting right in his rear view mirror smiling was punishment enough. Doubt he would have had any problem with a car traveling in front of him at 20-25mph for a whole 100yards.
