... after taking a bit of a stray line into the left lane after a right-drift crossover to get in the feed lane at the lights, I'm sitting waiting for the lights to change and hear a muffled interjection from my right. There's a motor-cyclist shouting something at me through his helmet.

After I told him I couldn't hear what he was saying, he shouted louder - something about how I shouldn't "wobble about all over the place" and shaking his head.

What should have been my response, think the team?

"Sorry mate, can't hear you, nope, sorry, you'll need to speak up a bit, what are you saying, what? you work in a call centre? no? that's not it no, sorry, just can't hear you, but hear that sound behind you, it's people telling you the lights are green, bye, nice talking to you"

[i]a bit of a stray line into the left lane after a right-drift crossover to get in the feed lane[/i]

does this mean you had a bit of a wobble before you stopped at the lights?

"Sorry Mate I Didn't See You" is the normal response I believe

Quality. 😆 I must remember this one!

Unfortunately, I was less than polite. My commute in heavy traffic really gets the adrenaline going. 😈

Admit that you might have been wrong and then forget about it.

Just say you didn't plan on it but no harm done. And smile sweetly at him.

Don't forget to give him a playful slap on the bum. Motorbikerists like that sort of thing.

I think they prefer a playful pinch.

I think the best response might be to not wobble about all over the place.

Whatever you do dont start your reply with"So"? If you did I would probably have run you over.

[i]he proceeded to drop his trousers and pants and tried to stick his Johnson down the end of the exhaust can that was still boiling hot... [/i]

If you weren't trying to pass me in stupid places ie approaching junctions, there wouldn't be an issue.

The OP's story is full of suspicious details; the strangely wordy yet vague description of his manoeuvre leaves no-one knowing what he actually did, and he seems to be claiming to have been "waiting at the lights" on a [b]bicycle[/b].

The whole thing is complete invention.
