Today, whilst driving past a cyclist, I thought it would be funny to make him jump by blasting my horn right behind him and then driving off. I guess he thought it would be funny to catch up with me, yank off my wing-mirror, and hurl it through the open window at my face. FML

Um, OP here. Scared to reply because of the abuse I've been getting but obviously I deserved it, I know that. 1. I guess I posted it as an FML because I realised how much of a dick/arsehole/****/wanker I'd been... 2. The guy wasn't cycling to the side like he should have been, he was more out to the middle. I just lost my cool to be honest, if he doesn't care about his safety by doing that, why should I bother about not making him jump? (unpopular opinion obviously...) 3. I should probably point out that this was a quiet road, I was the only car, otherwise I wouldn't have done it, which may be surprising to some of you... 4. He caught up to me because I slowed back down to normal speed after about 30 seconds. Guess he was stronger than I thought. 5. I KNOW I'm a colossal twat. But I still hate cyclists. Some of them are SO up their own arses. Having said that, I WILL NEVER EVER DO ANYTHING LIKE THIS AGAIN.

Please tell me where you got the information that cyclists are known to do drugs. Because in my experience, they seem to be the complete opposite type.

Because doing so is so safe right? Didn't it occur to you that he could have fallen off and broke his neck or got run over. Not only are you a ******* asshat sir but you are also dangerous and should not have a drivers license.

Completely agree with you. I know where I am, you do not have to hit the cyclist. Honking or just riding too close you are responsible for any damage caused to the cyclist.

True! In my country, any accident that happens involving a car and a cyclist or pedestrian automatically incriminates the driver. As someone who cycles several kilometres every day, I can assert from experience that when a car honks at you right behind you, it takes al you have to not violently swerve and crash. Really, does OP have no idea whatsoever that a carn horn sounds infinitely louder outside a car than inside it? Not to mention that the shock you get when you don't expect to be honked at feels similar to a heart attack? Now, I do want to add that the cyclist wasn't right in breaking the idiot's car, but it is completely understandable. I kinda would have wanted to see OP's face, I think it must have been rather funny..

This is one of those few FMLs that come along and you don't question the people who vote YDI. You question the ones who vote FYL. Cause, well, you deserved it.

You can vote both. OP deserved it and his life is f'ed

No, his life is not f'ed, what is wrong with you? He has to replace the mirror on his car, boo hoo. That certainly does not make his life ****** in any way. He could easily have injured or killed that cyclist with his stupid stunt. He is a first class asshole who should not be driving because he thinks it's funny to endanger lives. He deserves to be taken to court, given a fine, and have his license revoked at the least, and if that happens his life still won't be ******, because he asked for it by being an idiotic asshole. He deserves everything he gets.

52, maybe they were talking about OP's stupid... Something like, "Excuse me, but after that guy smacked you in the head, your stupid fell out. Here it is. I'm sure you'll be needing it for further decisions."

You are what's known as a fucktard. You deserved so much more than what you got.

I don't understand why people hate cyclists so much. I live in an area where there's more cyclists than mice and occasionally they get really annoying when roads have to be closed and on the weekends you can't really go for a drive. But they're welcome to use the road, whenever I want to ride my bike on the road I'd like to think people wouldn't try to endanger my life. Treat other people how you want to be treated, seems people have forgotten that.

As long as cyclists follow the rules of the road (ie. staying in the bike lane if there is one, actually stopping at red lights until it turns green again and trying to keep to the curb when possible) then I don't care. But around where I live they will not stop at red lights just keep going claiming they aren't a car but then if I where going straight at a green and some asshole on a bike speeds through a red light for them and we hit no matter what it is my fault. That is the annoying part though I would never be a douche like this guy.

I'm confused why a cyclist thinks they don't have to stop at red lights because they're not a car. Isn't it illegal for ANYONE to go through a red light, including a pedestrian?

As far as I know, in most places in the US, a bike is considered a vehicle just as a car is, and must obey red lights, etc. If they run a red light they could be ticketed just as a driver. On another note, driver or biker, not all other people do obey the rules. As a safe driver you should be aware of what is going on around you in case someone else does something dumb. Its always better to be paying attention and avoid an accident!

as a cyclist myself I honestly feel no pain for OP, but the thing about running reds is true, it usually happens because its sketchy to unclip then clip back in mid intersection, its not the best thing to do but if its not busy then i dont see the issue with slowing down to like 5km/h checking then going through, jaywalkers dont get shit for crossing, thats my opinion on riding on the road, I usually just ride mountain though, there are too many shitty drivers in vancouver especially richmond and surrey to be reasonably safe
