Glass with a bit of rain was enough to do my front Gatorskin in.
Not much an ow-shit, had potential for it though:
Going down a steep (1 in 2) short ramp to make a hard left (shortcut many cyclists use) to get back on the road.
On the ramp some guy decides to start overtaking me on the right, but it's not very long (about 8 meters) so he'd either need to cut into me forcing me to brake hard before turning, or swerve over the road while turning left (it's a 180 degree turn) endangering himself and possibly wiping me out too in the turn.
A muttered "Yeah overtake me right here in the corner, why don't you stupid idiot" did the trick.
