Pavement etiquette

On Saturday after noon, the driver of the 4 wheel drive that I was holding up by all of one bike length told me quite graphically that I should be riding on the pavement and not holding up traffic...

Maybe he was keener to look at the back of the bus that was holding us both up rather than my arse?

Best response to that is usually "It's a road bike, where do you think it belongs?" Extra points for using an overly condescending tone.
