People out in the sticks do not like cyclists-especially when the roads are narrow enough that they can't even close pass you. Had all sorts of close passes, revving behind me since moving and the general feeling that I shouldn't be on the road. Last night on my way back home, someone over took me and beeped his horn, which I thought was a "fuck you, you shouldn't be on the road". So I naturally gave them the one finger salute and gestured them to stop and say it to my face etc. Turns out it's the person I bought a car off last week saying hello/being neighborly. Whoops!
I did that once, to my dad’s cousin’s husband (who my dad introduced to each other as they were in the navy together). I may have called him a wanker too.
