Are you saying these words?!

Biking along Gladstone to class the other morning, a previously parked car pulls out, nearly hitting me.

Mirror check? Signal light? Not for this guy.

Then, just as suddenly and almost as quickly, he backs up. Another near miss.
Out comes the Biker Rage.
"Hey, watch out!"
The be-capped grandpa rolls down his window and yells, "Don't be so stupid! I was in front of you!"
To which I reply, as I bike past, "That doesn't count if you're parked!"
The answer, which is gloriously accompanied by -- I'm not even kidding -- a fist-shake:
"Mind your own business!"

Oh. Em. Gee.
Perhaps you'll disagree, but I'm fairly positive that almost getting hit twice fully qualifies as "my business."

The best part about really bad drivers is that they actually think they're good drivers!
