I once pulled over to make a quick emergency stop to fix a broken wiper blade in pouring rain. The pullout I used happened to be a bus stop. As I was watching for the bus, a guy waiting there just started unloading at me from 15 feet away.
I gave him a glance, then just finished the 60 seconds of work fixing the blade, pulled out, and moved on. But I did not for one second give a shit about him or what he thought. As much as he wanted his concerns to be my problem, they really weren't. They would have been had a bus showed up while I was fixing my stuff, but that didn't happen.
