This happens even more often when you’re on a bike. People also get more offended when you don’t accept their offer to ride into speeding traffic and die.

Also happens when you're a pedestrian, crossing several lanes with cars, motorbikes and bikes.

My favorite is the car that gets halfway across a busy street, discovers me (a pedestrian) on the corner, and just stops in the middle of the street and waves me across in front of them with 1.5 lanes buffer. I turn around so they'll cross. No, I won't be party to your t-bone accident, thank you.

it's true. i try to take it as it's intended, and it sure beats the coal-rolling brodozer trying to side swipe me off the road, but as politely as i try to decline, it tends to go from "generous" to "FURIOUS at what an ASSHOLE i am to reject their GIFT" in about 4 seconds.

I end up emphatically waving back to say “Look, I already came to a full stop, the last thing I want to now do is start immediately back up and feel indebted to you because I’m slowing you down. Instead, call your state legislator and ask them to vote for the Idaho Stop if you feel I should go!”

I refuse to go and point at my stop sign until they move first. Drivers HATE this one weird trick (respecting the rules of the road)

Yes yes yes. Good intentions, but not helpful. I think I deal with even more people who don't stop for me (which is good) but then slow to like 15 mph I guess to signal they are being safe(?) around me? Like, keep going, I'm waiting for you to pass. I will get off my soapbox now

Or letting you bike ahead out of turn at a 4 way stop, only to close pass you in 3 seconds anyway

The last town I lived in had this problem with people stopping suddenly to let a golf cart cross and it always baffled me because it's not like they'd do that for a Honda Civic on a random side street

Same when you’re a pedestrian trying to cross a road. The other lane is moving, asshole, where am I meant to go?

Oh my yes. I glare at them and wave madly to get them to proceed, no smile on my face. Trying to break them of the habit, and save the next rider.

As if I can even see that person waving at me through the windshield's harsh reflection of the sky.
