Oh heaven forbid. I make my left turns faster than the majority of drivers. In fact, if I am behind someone driving a car there is a ~90% that driver will slow me down in making the turn. But a few drivers see someone on a bicycle and automatically go into a rage. They are upset because I'm ahead of them. I am practically tailgating the car in front of me given that bicycles don't have the greatest brakes in the world (but small enough that I can go left or right to avoid a collison) and yet somehow, the delay I am stuck with because of the sloth driver(s) in front of me is somehow now my fault.
Just a little over a week ago, I ended up with two drivers that were peeed off at me. In the first case, a woman driving a car in front of me was on a cellphone and dillydallied getting going on the green. Thusly the light was yellow when she reached, where she then stopped, and changed her mind and made a right on red. Of course I was stuck for another cycle. The woman behind me blamed me for this. If I had just gutter pbutted I would have been through the light and gone, but then the bicycle haters would complain about having to pbutt me back later. Nothing is good enough for a bicycle hater. Later down the road I am stuck behind this huge SUV at a traffic light when this dumb butt tries to pull along side me. (I'm in the middle of the lane waiting my turn, speed of traffic is STOPPED) The light changes and we start moving. I pbutt (on the left) the sloth accelerating SUV as it tried to turn right to get away from the moron who goes to the left lane to also get around the SUV. As I return to the right he pbuttes me. Soon after I catch up to the butthat who is now holding up other traffic with his sloth. I yell for him to accelerate, and guess who's nearby, the lady who was the first driver, who I last saw about 2 miles earlier. Yeah. I'm slow. I make the same time as anyone who's driving around here. It takes me the same time (and often less) to bike to work than to drive.
