Tbf, we only get belligerent after enduring so much shit from carheads and pedestrians. I guarantee you I can't commute downtown for 10 minutes without having some car parked in my late or an entitled pedestrian walking or standing there without regard.

Not to mention the shit people have thrown at me consciously or not, and the times I've almost gotten run over while doing what I'm supposed to be doing and still getting honked and yelled at.
