That driver who honked at me for taking the lane actually apologized later
Happened on College Street in Toronto. Rush hour, no bike lane there. I took the full lane because parked cars everywhere. Guy in a pickup lays on the horn for like 10 seconds. We both stop at the red light at Spadina. He rolls down his window and says sorry, he just didn't see any danger. Told me he saw another cyclist get doored last week. We talked for a minute about how tight that stretch is. Anyone else ever had a driver actually apologize after yelling?

Maybe it's just me but this kind of thing happens more often than people think. Drivers and cyclists are just regular folks who sometimes snap, then cool down when they actually talk face to face. A little conversation usually fixes a lot more than yelling from inside a car ever will.

Must've been the heat melting his road rage into regret (or maybe just good karma).
