    So basically, the more you stand out the more people are drawn to you ...... you might be an influencer!!

    Seriously, there's a reason for male plumage and female red butts. Very distracting. If you stand out, you get more attention such that the observer is ignoring things that they shouldn't. Ultimate attractive nuisance. Whole thing breaks down with bikes of course.

    Wow. People should have their drivers licenses revoked for that crap. My guess is that they were dinking around on their cell phone, hit you, kept going, and drove off without having ANY clue of what they just did. I say this after witnessing some buttwipe (mentioned somewhere in this thread) who hit me earlier this year while I was in my parked car at a Home Depot. I saw them backing up (big ass Ferd-Effteenwhatever), backing up, backing up. I was like "no, no, NO, NO, NO!" Guy who was loading up his trunk next to me was yelling at the guy to stop before he hit me. Guy bumped me and just drove off without EVER averting his gaze from his damn phone. He was seriously staring down at it, texting or whatever, the entire time AND as he drove off. 100% oblivious. Scary that we share the road with these assclowns. Speaking of which, I still need to buy a dual car cam with a park mode to catch these goons in the act and sic my insurance company after them with video evidence. Hit & run, baby! Cops are gonna LOVE issuing that fat ticket.

    I don’t think drivers are taught (or at least practice as much) the same rules as those who bike - always focus on the clear path you want to take, and not fixate on the obstacle you want to avoid.

    Why do people point their key fob at their car to lock/unlock the doors?

    don't you have a big f150 horn ? they've already pulled out, but you can make them just as pissed as you are if you lay on it long enough.

    I'm not looking to piss anyone off. I just find the whole thing perplexing from a human behavior standpoint...

    There's a school of thought that says aim for the tree or rock, then turn around it when you get there. If you focus on missing it you start going too fast by the time you reach it and a turn to check speed would take you right into the obstacle. Of course we all just straightline it, right?

    Guess I’m in for at least another year. Take my $$$.

    Airport WiFi. There is nobody in the airport and the Internet is still so slow it’s almost unusable. FFS.

    Using airport WiFi? Do you WANT to get computer herpes or something? Stay off that stuff and use your own hotspot. Using public WiFi (especially airport) is spooky stuff. It's the digital equivalent of barebacking hookers in Bangkok.

    1) why do drivers feel entitled to break every rule of the road to make the turn that they didn't plan for? What happened to just going around the block when you fuck up? Your goddamn GPS will even redraw the route for you! Don't just stop in the right lane and block traffic because your dumb ass forgot to get in the left turn lane!

    2) if you are going to a busy store at a busy time - for example, Home Depot garden department on Memorial Day weekend - leave your fucking dog at home. While we're at it, leave your stupid fucking children at home too. Or at least don't bitch when I run their asses over when they run out in front of my 400lbs cart full of mulch

    God, I wish I could. You think it's a choice? Believe it or not I don't want to manage a cart with 10' long 2x4 and a small kid at the same time. They don't go together.

    Just don't bitch when they dart out and adrenalated runs them over with his cart of mulch.

    My dog will tear him apart if he does that, one is a Great Pyrenees with a real nasty defense mechanism. Which is why I bring him to HD. Full circle and all that.

    Shit that annoys you

    If you almost run over my kid with your 400#s of mulch we’re gonna have an issue, especially if you’re all “they shouldn’t even be here.” You bear the burden and care and liability for your 400#s of mulch. Who fucking wheels that much mulch through the store anyways? This your first time helping mom with the flowerbeds or what?

    How about if you’re going to a busy store at a busy time, exercise a bit of tolerance and self awareness.
    focus.
