Today's Stupid Driver Trick

[stickmaker]

I watched the white, half-ton pickup whip deftly into a space against the curb, and gave it a wide berth. Sure enough, the driver opened his door just before I reached it. There was plenty of room, thanks to my caution. I saw him yank the door partly closed as I went by and then, staring at me, shove it back open. Right in the path of the minivan behind me. Which had a somewhat narrower escape, thanks to its driver not learning from my experience. All this on a narrow suburban street with vehicles parked on both sides.
