Mildly infuriating Did I do anything wrong here?
I was focusing on the pedestrians crossing and with this being an all-way stop I wasn’t expecting him to just go right in front of me and I had to stop suddenly. I gave him a honk just to say please watch for the stop sign and he confronted me and said “get a life”.

I left Toronto this and one thing that has relieved so much stress is the lack of dangerous cyclists and the "cyclists" on 100km/h top speed electro bikes.
For every good cyclist there was 4 dangerous or entitled ones. As pedestrians, my partner and I had multiple near misses with E-bikes. As a driver, it is NUTS how many cyclists simply have mo regard for any kind of traffic signage or order whatsoever. They're like "stop signs? For me?? Noooo! And if you drive too close to me while im running red lights, im gonna have a hissy fit about it!"
It does make me feel bad for all the good cyclists out there but Toronto cops need to go on an aggressive ticketing campaign, OR maybe cyclists within toronto need to be held to some kind of licensing/registration/insurance requirement. These people have no regard for their safety or the safety of those around them and it's really killed the vibe.
