People who yell from cars

I've never cared what the boneheads of the world yell from cars......that's a pretty weak move in my book so it just rolls off me.  One day I'll sit down and type the story of when a couple idiots decided to chuck a beer bottle at me and then got caught at the next light.  It's not a tough guy story, but I feel safe in saying that the next time one of those morons was in a car and someone said, "hey, lets launch a beer bottle at that guy on the bike"....they said, "OH HELL NO!!!!!" 

Pure awesomeness!

I hadn't had someone yell at me from a car in years until yesterday.   So, yeah, thanks for that...  

I've started to flip off folks a few times only to realize at the last second it was someone from my track or tri club just saying "hi" and giving encouragement.  That cured me and now I usually just give a wave and smile no matter what.  I'm also not your stereotypical skinny runner, so that might be a reason why I don't get yelled at too much.

The ones I don't know how to respond to are the folks who call "Hey Lance" when I'm on my bike.  I used to take it as a compliment, but not so sure any more...

That article is very funny.  I have decided to just wave and smile when it happens. I figure if someone is really trying to be nice, then great.  If not, they are trying to ruffle my feathers and the smile/wave would annoy them.   Since I stick to paths mostly, I don't encounter it much thankfully.
