I had a Tesla try and take a left turn into me, honking the whole time, as I was headed straight (I had a green + crosswalk sign on) through an intersection. I was inconveniencing them with my existence.

I had much the same from a van driver trying to take me out on left through a segregated bike path (thankfully no crash). "I had a green light" he angrily said to me. "Yeah so did I" I said.

I also almost daily have someone trying to turn right through the curbside bike lane and many of them truly don't think they have any responsibility to yield.
