I was bike commuting to work this morning, heading north toward an uncontrolled intersection. I saw three cars heading my direction, the lead car did not have a signal so I assumed she was heading straight so I slowed down and signaled a left turn. The woman wasn't paying attention and she slammed on her brakes when she saw me and then signaled a turn in the opposite direction. Since she stopped, I took the turn and went about my merry way however a man in a truck behind her was livid so he turned in my direction and caught up to me at a stop light. He rolled down his window and started yelling at me:

"Don't you cut me off! I'm in a 9000 pound truck and you're going to lose sweetie!"

I said something about the car in front of him being stopped and told him to have a nice day and he shouted something about "Livestrong" and then gunned his truck and took off. Of course, after he left I thought of lots of witty things to say to the fat ass in his big truck picking on a woman in capri pants and a pink bike helmet... "Enjoy your gas prices!" but all I got out was "have a nice day". WEAK!!!

Anyway, the thing that pissed me off the most was that he called me SWEETIE. Is that not the MOST irritating thing a stupid idiot in a truck can say? Damn that gets under my skin.
