Amazon drivers aren’t Amazon employees, and aren’t paid well enough or treated well enough to care. Don’t be angry at the drivers, be angry at Amazon.

Seconding this. Some of these comments are an unpleasant reminder of why the stereotype of cyclists as upper class and entitled exists.
Some blame also lies on the local government for not adding bollards or other structures to separate the bike lane from traffic. Seeing all these issues and deciding someone with shit pay and zero job security is worth getting mad at just doesn’t make sense. Go take that energy somewhere it can do something.
By your logic the right answer is to be mad at every prime customer.
I am.

I suppose keying them is a criminal offence?
"Oh nooo, my bike handle accidentally smashed into the van while I was avoiding the obstacle in the bike lane."
"And I forgot to tape the outer most part or my handle bar, so it is just the bare metal"
