Every time someone nearly hits me, they act like it's my fault.
Example 1: I'm riding through the parking lot and some woman putting on make-up is cutting through the parking spaces. She comes out from behind a building nearly t-bones me and I stopped just short of colliding with her. She throws her hands up and looks at me in disgust like I was just doing stoppies to impress my friends.
Example 2: Woman in an SUV was too busy talking to her passenger and I was going down the main road downtown where all crossing roads have stop signs and have to yield. I was going BELOW the 20mph speed limit because its a bumpy road and she pulled out as I was about 5 feet away. I stop the bike as hard as I could on the gravel-covered road and stopped directly in front of her. She lays down on their horn like I was supposed to yield to her.
Example 3: Guy is cruising down both lanes with half of his car creeping over into the right hand lane that I'm in. I see him coming in my mirror and swerve out of the way before he clips me and then I see him throw up his hand with that "What the hell, man?" glare in reflection of his side mirror. He continues along taking up both lanes.
Example 4: Redneck in his compensation car gets tired of traffic and thinks he's going to save time by making a sudden switch to the left hand lane when the truck in front of him was going too slow and nearly rams me off of the road. I shift into the turning lane, speed up, and get in front of him. I look in my mirror and he's making that "Oh my god, look at these motorcyclists using the turning lane like it's their own road!" and honks his horn.
Am I just living in the wrong place or does this happen to everyone?
