Overly Courteous Drivers Should F#ck Themselves
I ride my bike to work a few days a week and around town a few others. I wear a helmet, stay in the bike lane, keep my eyes and ears on the road and generally try to be nice to other people.

What pisses me off is god damned drivers that insist I go first. I'll stop at an intersection and wave them on. Even if it is all clear, some old hag in a car much to large for her arthritic paws to control will stop dead and insist I go. I'll flail about like a seizing mongo trying to get her to go. Finally, I just have to sit there with my arms crossed until he/she goes. This breaks up my rhythm and generally pisses everyone off.

When a cyclist gives you the right of way, f#cking go. I don't care if you want to stare at their ass as they ride by or are worried I'll be unable to make it across the road without you blocking traffic. If you get the wave or nod, just move your ass already.
