Not a morning person!
Maybe it’s just the overcast this morning, or maybe I didn’t get enough sleep, but I woke up feeling misanthropic. It utterly amazes me how many genuinely stupid, wretched people are on the road. My list of peeves this a.m.-
Cyclists. Yeah, I know you guys are doing us all a service by not stinking up the air with your emissions and I should thank you for it. I know that you have chosen a healthier path for yourselves and I should follow your example, but you guys piss me off. You whizzing through stopped traffic between cars, blowing through stop signs, and then holding the rest of us up because you cannot pedal at the speed of traffic when it moves, fills me with contempt. We, in our cages, as you so affectionately call them, should not have to straddle lanes at 15 mph to avoid hitting you stupid, thoughtless ass holes. Find a street with a bike lane, carpool, take the bus, whatever, but do not expect me to tip my hat to you. I paid good money when I bought my car to have the privilege of driving on the street. Highway improvements, and RTD tax are enough to choke a damn horse, and you paid none of those at the bike shop, and are not entitled to make up your own traffic rules on the streets you share with us. And, with very few exceptions, you look like shit in spandex. Suck my exhaust pipe.
Speaking of exhaust—
Soccer moms—with 2.5 kids, wearing your adorable little Wal-Mart leisure suits, getting impatient for every one to move out of your way when YOU have finished dumping your maggots at school, you piss me off. Maybe the line of cars would be shorter in front of the school if you did something useful and brought some of the neighborhood kids with you this morning. Your vehicle is the size of a school bus any way, and don’t act like you have something important to do, or somewhere pressing to be. The cookies will still be there when you get home, you over fed hussy. My damn car overheats waiting for the line of cars to move, and you don’t see me freaking out and honking, you manicured former suburbanite princess. You’re driving in the city now, so consider your title rescinded, Highness.
Harley riders, you know which ones. You guys piss me off. Where do I begin. First, let me congratulate you for being awake at this hour. I have no idea where you work with all those tats, the filthy damn clothes and the ZZ Top facial hair, but the fact that you are a productive member of society despite looking like a vagrant gives me hope. However, that earsplitting noise from your beloved machine makes me want to strangle you with your own beard, especially when we are forced together in traffic and there is no escape from you. I know, the noise helps keep you safe, because we morons in our cages have difficulty seeing you, and you want to make us aware of your presence. Believe me buddy, you are noticeable. The outfit makes you stand apart from the crowd. And think on this…at least the ass hole in spandex pedaling like mad is not screaming at the top of his lungs to make sure we know he’s there. He’s too busy getting his cardio workout in the exhaust heavy air to even attempt screaming. You should take a page from his book, you beer gutted troglodyte, and get some exercise.
Have a nice morning
