Two notable incidents on last night's ride home.
First one was with a cab on my right while waiting a red light. As the lights changed we accelerated at a similar rate, with a line of parked cars ahead meaning there wasn't enough space to remain two-abreast. I looked to my right, made eye contact with the driver, and amazingly he backed off to let me go ahead. I waved a very surprised thanks, in awe of the power of my stare.
In contrast to that, at the lights at the top of Finsbury Park Rd waiting patiently to turn into Seven Sisters, a couple rode past me on either side, stopped right in front of me and promptly started snogging. Predictably this continued while the lights changed, which they were completely oblivious to. Totally deserving of a cock-punch, which could've really ruined their plans for the evening. In hindsight I should've again used the power of my stare.
