My bad, I've read the conversation wrong.
If people are talking about letting people out then someone on a bike comes past, yeah, dick move. I'm a regular "letter outer", in the car and on the bike, and this happens all the time.
As much as I love being able to ride 2 or 3 abreast in a bus lane (easy overtaking) it encourages cunt behaviour from all walks of transport. Mopeds and motorcycles beeping at you to move over so they can overtake you in the bus lane can jog on. I know you're there, I'll let you past when I'm good and ready.
It's not victim blaming, it's asshole blaming. Nursey got it right but that's not the situation that is being discussed. If you are waiting to pull out or cross a constant stream of traffic you rely on someone at some point taking pity on you and letting you pass. Cars do it, buses do it, so why shouldn't bikes do it too?
