Rosedale, Friday, 4:45pm. I’m on my bike, coming to a stop at a three way intersection. There’s a cyclist headed north and a car beside me turning left (east). The cyclist being the first to get to the stop sign, has the right of way and has started across the intersection when the left-turning car shoots into his path. The woman in the car genuinely didn’t see the bike, I think.
Cyclist: HEY!
Woman in car: Oh god! Sorry!
Cyclist: (Jovial) No problem!
Woman: (Waves)
Nice to see we can still be civil.

WTF? Civilized interaction like this pisses me off so much. I’m gonna go violate the right of way then flip someone the bird just to set the universe right again.
Surely that kind of exchange doesn’t happen in any modern, civilised society? What an odd concept!
