almost Door-ed

I will start by saying no one was hurt in the writing of this post.

I was rolling home from work wednesday night, yes, after dark. I had a 200 Lumen helmet light and a 300L bar mounted dual light, and the usual array of seat stay, seat bag, and backpack flashers on the rear. Needless to say, I could be seen.
I was just about home an some guy whipped open the car door oblivious to me being about 3 feet from the car. My lesson learned is to ALWAYS pay attention, and perhaps i need to leave an extra foot from parked cars from what i have been leaving.
The part that chaps my ass is as the guy gets out, I say something low key like "whoa, look out". nothing in bad taste or derogatory. As I look back at him ( with a 200L spotlight) he starts yelling and cussing at me. WTF? dude, you almost took me and my bike out, bent the crap out of your car door, all i said was WHOA and I'm the asshole??? I just don't get peoples attitudes sometimes.

Maybe its time for brighter lights.
