Don't you just hate:

Post by Kazushi »

Coming to the office this morning I saw an idiot riding a 650 Transalp having as passenger a 3-4 year old kid without anykind of safety gear just sitting preaty behind him !!! :smt021
What made things worse was the heavy traffic and the fact that this guy was riding and talking to a moped rider at the same time !!! :smt075

Well lets start a Don't you hate list....
Dont' you hate:

1) Riders that use their cell phone while in motion !
2) Riders with shorts and slippers !
3) 50cc moped riders that think they are racing in a GP !

Hmmmmm!

Squids. Organ donors of the future.

Posers. All talk and no performance.

That'll do for now.

-Middle-aged-english-as-a-second-language-white-Camry-driving-women who make illegal left turns from the travel lane to your right, and then claim you rear-ended her into the side of her car. :shock:

-Towing services that dispatch trucks for motorcycle towing that don’t have the requisite hardware for towing a bike. :x

-BMW dealers that spend four days wheeling your bike into and out of the shop without ever realizing it is there for a damage estimate, and then tell the adjuster when they call that they don’t have the bike.

I hate that I don't now, nor probably ever have the grapes to climb Everest.

Someone who trys to take pictures of other's absurd behavior while driving in the fast lane, and doesn't realize they are being equally absurd by that very behavior.

You all are too young to hate so much. I don't hate, but I'm dismayed by intolerance. I seldom come back to this site because of this attitude.

I can absolutely gaurantee that all of us have had our parents do things to us while growing up that would make us "modern folks" cringe and hate. I am just as sure that I am doing things to my kids that will cause a similar reaction to the people pecking at keyboards 50 years hence.

RV's that go down a twisty mountain road with a double yellow line (no safe place to pass anyway) with up to seven angry drivers behind them, passing at least thirty turn outs without pulling over to let the others pass. It's like they're oblivious to what's going on behind them (one of the vehicles was an emergency vehicle too, not responding to a fire, but probably busy nonetheless). 11 miles ... before he got to where he was going and turned off the road. sheesh.

Sorry - don't want to waste my precious energy on hate anymore...but there are some things that annoy me...

- Head On (though I won't forget the product) :roll:
- suddenly realizing (after I've already...well...started) that this public restroom has no toilet paper :shock:
- locking myself out of the house :oops:
- leftover parts after a project (I worry for weeks) :?:
- missing a shift :x
- getting sucked into another mod for my bikes :cry:
- missing a workout :(
- excessive use of emoticons :twisted:
