Lessons Learned While Biking

So I've been riding my bike to work for about 6 months now. Not every day; just 2-3 days a week. I won't ride in the rain and won't ride if I have a hockey game or something similar that night. I wouldn't say I've necessarily learned anything new about drivers, pedestrians, and other bikers during that time, but I've certainly clarified some things. Boston drivers not only are complete assholes, but they have a complete lack of respect for the 'right of way' rules.
First, the right-of-way issues. It's unexpected, but it's actually not drivers not yielding to someone else's right-of-way that pisses me off the most. It's morons stopping for absolutely no reason to let someone else go. Like when I'm waiting to cross a road and patiently for the cars that have green lights to just get out of the way so we can all move on with our lives in the most efficient way. Exactly the way that the traffic engineers that designed this system intended. But no, 1 moron decides that they should be nice to me and screw it up for everyone. 1) I'm probably not paying attention and instead taking in the scenery while I wait for their light to turn red. Meaning they sit there frustrated with me for not noticing their idiocy while other drivers do their best not to hit them. 2) I'm not going anywhere until I know everyone else on the road won't run me down. So even when I notice your stupidity, I still have to stand there until either the other drivers also stop or your light turns red. Even though it's technically a no-lose situation for me, it annoys the piss out of me. It makes other drivers hate bikers even though it's moron drivers that really caused the problem.
People talking on cell phones while driving terrify me. I see quite alot of bad driving now that I'm on the road a bit longer and really need to watch every car since they're not watching me. And while not every bad driving move I see involves a cell phone, the vast majority do. It's a simple fact of the human brain; you can't have an involved cell phone conversation and pay attention to your surroundings. Study after study has proved this out. Me watching people on their phones while driving proves this out. Yes, science has proven that roughly 2% of the US population can actually multitask. However, that means that 98% of everyone can't. Guess what...you're in that 98%!! Hang up the f'n phone and drive your car. Listen to the radio. Take in some sights and sounds. Pay f'n attention to what your doing. We all know that whatever conversation you're having can wait until you get to where you're going. I'm once again making my pledge to completely stop taking on the phone while driving. I already only do it at red lights and while stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic, but it's going back to a complete ban. It's comically dangerous and just unnecessary. It's also why God invented voice mail and satellite radio.
