I've left a couple of rides (when they were someone else's ride/I didn't organize it) due to douchbaggery, but I've also either 1.) just told the person "Hey, you're being a douche when you do this... knock it off!" or 2.) kicked them off the ride.

We've also not allowed people to ride with us if they were missing basic gear -- had a guy come out with a guy we know weekend before last, sans helmet. His friend TOLD him he had to wear his helmet, and then even offered to race home and grab a spare helmet for the guy before we left, but he opted not to, so I apologized and told him we'll see him next time -- with his lid.
