I hate this. I tend to wait patiently behind giant vehicles only to see scores of riders disappear into oblivion down the side of said vehicle.
On the occasions I've made attempts to prevent such dick manouvers by blocking the tiny gap, ive heard from behind "can you not get through there pal?"
I've had a rampant bell ringer do the same, after not yielding she squeezed through anyhow and I'm sure i've heard a few sighs and tuts.

Called out a clusterfuck of whoppers this morning down Hackney Road. I was waiting behind a HGV at traffic lights with no room to pass down the left as there were cars parked in the bays, when all of a sudden one fucking hero decided to speed past me on the inside dragging a merry pack of wobbly sheep like nodders with him. When he realised there was no room he decided to drag his gas pipe thing onto the pavement and cycle through peds.
Unfortunately the three dick-ciples following him didn't know what to do. Two of them looked around aimlessly and started to shuffle back towards me and the end of the lorry, whilst the other one try to wedge his soggy arse in the one foot gap between truck and parked car. Unsuccessfully.
The light turned green and he waited for the truck to pull past, looked straight into my disapproving glare and then attempted to pull out of his stupid road position right into my path. So I swerved at him and called him an impatient cunt before enjoying the rest of my ride into work.
I found the pavement wanderer further up the road, still on the pavement despite there being a completely clear road and bus lane for him to use...
