Polar Opposites, Equally Annoying

Crosswalk at Liberty & Main, Bloomfield.
A Dread’ed CollegeHippie™ Bicyclist barrels down the Main Street sidewalk, sideswiping pedestrians. A small SUV signals and enters the crosswalk just as bicyclist turns into the same crosswalk without signaling. The SUV slams on its brakes as the bicyclist swerves and kicks the grill of SUV:

SUV driver: You’re supposed to ride on the street! look where you’re going!
Bicyclist: Fuck you, SUV asshole!
