I do use my whistle. I believe I said so. Which is why you know I HAVE a whistle. ahem... Sooooo... you're telling me to "use it if it bothers me that much" is about as helpful as if you had said "my brain is really too sluggish for creative thought or humor"
Good day sir.

I'm actually starting to form what I think is a fairly accurate diagnosis of your problem: you get worked up really easily. Also, since you didn't ask, your efforts at fancy wording just make you look silly.

I anxiously await your reply.

Anytime peds charge intersections without paying enough attention, I make sure to ride close enough to where I can stick an elbow into them accompanied by a cheery "Heads up."

Im super passive aggressive like that.

Elbowing someone isn't really "passive aggressive".

That's just "aggressive".

(slow, long, labored exhalation as he looks up at previous quote) this is why i stopped coming here.

I have a compulsion to press on... and feel that I should be able to press on if the traffic light does find itself in my favor... good day to you and yours.

You stop coming here because you're not getting the feedbacks you looking for, like they deserve to burn in hell, their children should be thrown off a bridge in to a pile of nails. Just get off on your high horse, really. The stubborness in you awe me, you are willing to obey a flashing green light and not care about other human being, on top of that, you want to burn down their house just because they were a bit too slow to cross a light? It's just a god damned green light, sir or do you put that stupid light before other people. Are you taught to only go when you see a green light, regardless of the situation?

Just get off your high horse...

And no, I don't want you to have a good day at all.

ITT Vixtor treats you like a pedestrian.

I ride defensively. Always figure the jackass next to me is going to do something stupid and get me killed.

Edit: kind of sad I see someone quoting aesop but at the same time d-baggin it this hard.

I am suddenly, unexpectedly, bobbing and weaving thru heedless, unperceptive simpletons.
"I want them dead, i want their families dead, i want their houses burnt to the ground, I wanna g there in the middle of the night and piss on their ashes" (see DeNiro-untouchables)
What do you do bothers? What is your course of action?

I'm with ya... I'd say start taking one out once in a while... soon enough they'll learn if they occasionally see one of their lemming brethren flapping around on the pavement like a fish out of water. ...eh... they probably won't notice actually...

I personally like to sneak up on 'em and scare the bejeezus out of 'em if they never saw me. I'll wait until I'm right next to them, slightly behind them and shout 'LOOKOUT!!' Ah, makes me feel like I got 'em back kinda...

One thing though I should say that's more serious is to be extra watchful & careful about people who actually do notice you at the last second & try to take some evasive action, often right into your path. I've heard of many many people taking out peds in crosswalks during a turn because they thought the bike was heading straight at them. They jump backwards, right into the cyclist's line and bam! I tend to give people an extra couple of feet if I'm going pretty fast.

lol....so much for the city of brotherly love :P

Isn't that where they threw batteries at Santa one year at a football game? Yeah, lots of love there.
