When I'm out and about, I'm often on foot or on bike. Periodically, I'll get yelled at. "Get a car!" or "Grow up!" At least I think that's what they said... most often it's completely unintelligible. It seems like yelling out car windows is a popular pastime, especially on the Westside. For clarification, they're not yelling at my behavior - I'm a strict rule-follower.

Does anyone else have similar experiences, or am I just a magnet for the loud ones?
