I was driving through town earlier when the lights ahead of me started to change. Amber had been on a few seconds and I was about 50 yards from the junction.
I could have made it if I was feeling a little frisky, but I decided to brake instead. Admittedly, I braked a little harder than I normally would have, purely because the changing lights had caught be by surprise.
I stopped in plenty of time, though, and looked up in my rearview mirror to see some angry 30-odd-year-old bloke shaking his head. As the lights turned green again, he came into the left hand lane to turn left, looking at me and shouting something. Obviously I couldn't hear what he said, so I just smiled at him in an attempt to exact revenge/annoy him for being so impatient.
Basically, he thought he could've made it through the lights as well as me, and I annoyed him by not going through. Also, what the chuff was he doing in my right hand lane when he wanted to turn left? It's entirely his fault if I caused him to brake a little harder than he would've liked.
It's damn irritating. I wanted to follow him and ask him what the hell his problem was.
ARGH.
