Nah, but I got fricken angry at all the passing drivers waving 'Hello' , because of my arms flailing about.

People don’t wave, we get angry, they wave, we get angry... there is just no pleasing us cyclists!

I was dive bombed by a magpie here 3 days ago. First it hit the top of my helmet ready hard. (No, I don't mean a bird hit my helmet, I mean a magpie catapulted into my cranium.) and almost came off at 35kph. I looked up and the f*cker attacked again. 3 or 4 times. On the way back same thing. Almost hit my face with it's claws on one swerve passed my earhole.

Ok, you don't have to crow on about it....
