It ain't 10x older. Your second point is more valid. Which is backed up by the fact that it took 5 years to find something that amused us.

There are two “what amuses you?” threads, if we’re gonna be anal about counting these things.

That’s only somewhat annoying.

Oh, man... got caught behind one of these on a busy surface street right in the middle of the 'burbs this morning. And she accelerated like a goddam tortoise to boot.

That was the Sea to Sky from Vancouver to Whistler to a tee. Pre Olympics it was mostly twisty single lane with a few passing lanes. Without fail you get stuck behind a car doing 20 under the limit on the single lane part, then when they reach a passing lane it was like a quarter mile drag strip where they'd speed up fast as possible to prevent you from passing. Then slow down again once the passing lane ended. Got so fed up one time after a car did this on 3 consecutive passing lanes I passed them on a double yellow with a friend giving them the finger as we went past. They pulled up next to us at a traffic light in Squamish and granny in the back seat gave us the middle finger back.

Fools would be driven off the road, or would pull over in fear of the mad drivers behind them.

I guess growing up in an alpine valley across the pond conditioned me to driving fast in the mountains and not having much patience for people who slow to a crawl anytime the road isn't straight. Now when I go back I shit myself in fear driving these narrow roads, I'm in constant fear of a head on collision. But the damn assholes driving 35 mph down Big Cottonwood Canyon, on the brakes the whole damn time except the few straight bits? Fuck that. The canyon isn't steep like LCC and the road is freshly repaved and super wide. I went through the S-curves yesterday wondering if I needed to downshift into 1st fucking gear cause we were moving so slow...

Half the time it's people who are terrified of driving a "mountain" road, which annoys me but is somewhat justifiable if they're not used to it. The real annoyance is the dipshit gawkers out for a drive looking out the window at the flowers. Jeebus forbid they see a deer or moose, they'll stop in the middle of the road to photograph the wildlife and get all huffy and puffy if you suggest they park their car and go out on a walk. They're taking their sweet ass time, never considering that some people actually commute in these canyons, or are on the clock for something, or are about to run out of beer and finish the drive all dehydrated.

Driving roads with high congestion potential for fun should be illegal. Driving for the sake of driving should be punishable by a kick to the groin. Anyone who is willing to sit in the car for any reason other than getting somewhere specific to accomplish a certain task is a toolbag of the highest order.

Ha. Coming down rabbit ears pass, and on the clock the other day there were about 6 cars stopped, or in a drawn out process of stopping. Cars in the road, sort of on the shoulder, and one or two who were creeping along in-between lanes, uphill lanes were effectively blocked by stopped cars. Speed limit 50mph. All because they wanted to look at a moose. Complete shit show. It even happened to be next to a pull out, but people were just stopping in the road instead.

I cruised through and soon passed a line of traffic, including several semis heading up towards the mess. Imagine a loaded semi having to stop their climb up the pass because people are blocking the road to take pics of a moose.

Kinda seems like people are getting dumber and dumber. The women had their phones up taking pics, hubbies were blocking traffic with their vehicle's like they're the freaking cops. All Completely oblivious to the fact that they're creating a hazard on the road.

Me being clueless annoys me. Didn’t realize the vagaries of different mountain bike hub driver types. My old shit isn’t compatible with the new to me shit. So I have to buy more shit but the bike stores are closed until Monday. Oh well. Learned a lot in the last 30 minutes.

^ And next time you need use your knowledge of the new 'standards' they'll be obsolete!!

Next time maybe I’ll know enough to ask the question, at least. This one caught me completely off guard.

On the advice of counsel, I shall invoke my 5th Amendment privilege.

I take it for granted that most assembly instructions are going to be garbage, but I find it freshly annoying when the pictures clearly show a round/pan head screw when really they mean a flat head screw. Spent an extra two minutes looking for the screws in the picture, and then an extra three minutes posting about it here.

Look at all the time wasted.
