The other day, I was at a four-way stop, with one car (12 o’ clock) arriving just before me, and another (9 o’ clock) arriving just after me. I slowed and waited for the first car to go, but they did that annoying thing where they want to let me go first because they think they’re helping. I defiantly got off my bike and waited in the intersection (because I’d rolled forward a few feet by this point) until they went. When I made my turn, 9 o’ clock shouted from his truck that “maybe I should just stop at the stop sign next time”.

Moral of the story is, because of the lack of communication between cyclists and drivers, some people will always come away from interactions like those angry.
