Although I currently do not own a vehicle, my next one will be a Hummer.
I plan on running over slow drivers like you.


What's a Hummer's top speed? I heard it was something like 85 MPH,
probably due both to mass and wind resistance from the brick-like
shape.

You'd never catch me.


Ah, but mine is going to be a custom Hummer.

Prepare to be flattened.

Rule #1: Don't be disingenuous.

Everybody has pet peeves. Don't make me out to be some kind of
monster
because I talk about mine. Andy Rooney does it every week and rakes

big bucks.

If you wish to emulate Andy Rooney you should adopt a new Rule #1. One
that comes immediately to mind is-
"Try to be at least mildly entertaining. If you are the only one
laughing the odds aren't that your audience is slow to get the joke.
More likely, the joke simply wasn't funny."=20

But it's somehow OK to have a slow bicycle among faster moving autos

If the pedalcyclists would only stay in their bike lanes, there
wouldn't BE any slow bicycles traffic among faster moving autos.

Most roads do not have bike lanes. Bicyclists should not base their habits
on the assumption there will be one, and car/bike interactions are governed
by laws that presume the sharing of lanes.

What would you have said to someone so obnoxious? Being nice to these
people just doesn't penetrate.


I'm not claiming to be perfect or anything (I'm not by far), but I've found
that the more positive you can be in a situation, the more likely you are to
get a good response. Is your ultimate goal to let the biker know you're mad
at him (you did a good job of that) or to convince him to ride in the bike
lane?

It is a negative site, with little to nothing to offer in a positive way.

Some people find it amusing, as it reflects their own pet peeves. I
suppose those from the "just let them do it" crowd might not
understand this, however.

FWIW, I don't like people who park intentionally in multiple parking spaces
(I keep a little container of baby shampoo in my car that I occasionally
apply to their windshields in protest). But, there's a large leap between
not liking something and embracing you inner curmudgeon with a dumbass
little website devoted to the things you "hate".

No they don't. No more than drunk drivers give courteous,
law-abiding drivers a bad name (which they don't, either.)

No, the thread was originally only posted in rec.autos.driving and
rec.bicycles.misc. Some troll by the name of Corinne Boswell
cross-posted the existing thread into
soc.aupport.fat-acceptance, misc.health.diabetes, and
alt.support.sleep-disorder. If anyone is to be flamed, it's
Corinne.

Follow-ups set back to original group distribution.

Oh, and BTW dumb****, a real SHA-1 hash looks like the following:

0bf35035573bcad9ff731954654bf776aacd9704

which is the SHA-1 hash of the text I typed above.

Look, Mr. ****-a-duck, I don't give a damn about the "original Hash".
I do give a damn about idiots like boswell here posting into SSFA
where the regulars keep to themselves and every dickhead in the world
feels they have a right to disrespect.

That paragraph was intended for him, but if it hits home with you,
read it, learn it, live it.

The reason people like this do the things they know are wrong is
because there are no negative consequences. Being "considerate" and
"just letting him do it" is what reinforces and perpetulates this bad
behavior.

OTOH, if every pedestrian to whom he failed to yield were to respond
by calling him a ****head, he'd quickly change his bad behavior.

Or maybe he'd just start packing a 9mm and blow people away.
