I like to think of myself as friendly and well mannered so an incident from earlier this evening has me a bit rattled.
We live down a lane which is only one car wide. Our house is round a bend in the lane. I returned home after dark, rounded the bend at a gentle speed as it is impossible to see what is coming and had to slam on my brakes to avoid eight or so teenagers who were sitting on the ground, just around the bend, on a dark lane, filling most of the width of the lane. Had I been going faster or not been paying attention, I would have hit them. I waited for them to move. As I did so, one made it very clear that I should thank them for moving, saying things such as, "You're welcome."
Thank them for sitting in a dangerous place, nearly being injured then finally having the sense to move? Really?

AIBU?
To not apologise to the people I braked hard to avoid running over?
