This is the damn truth, Anytime I did something I got my ass beat, and it turned me into a very well intentioned child. Hell I am still scared of my father, that guy is 6'5" 350 and can lay a ass whipping.

I think that would have made it better, kind of like a huge slap in their face. Pick the money up and give them the thumbs up!



Although, I was just thinking about sneak attacks while running. I had a bird a few weeks back try to pick me up with its claws on my head. It freaked me out because no one was around me and i had no idea what had did it.

Got the cold chills and everything.

I'd say they need to get a job, but then they'd probably throw half dollars and do more damage.

Driving in residential areas doing wheelies. It only takes a few bad apples to ruin it for everyone. Both car drivers and motorcycle riders. The term is respect everyone that uses the roadways and everyone will be better off.

I try to respect people on bikes or motorcycles when I'm driving, and give them as much room as possible. However, certain bicyclists and motorcyclists (not all, just some) can be just as annoying as jerks in cars.

For example, when they have the entire lane, why do some motorcycles feel the need to ride within an inch of the lines that divide the lanes? And why do certain bicyclists feel that they can just ignore stop lights and stop signs, or ride down the middle of a lane at 1/3 the speed of traffic.

The motorcycles riding down the center line actually has a reason. One of my high school teachers told me that back when he rode motorcycles, a lot of people who didn't know to do that would hit gravel or whatever on the outer edge of the lane and lose control, especially in a turn. Supposedly the center of the road has less of that stuff.

And none of you can complain about bicycles until you drive a transit bus on a college campus with set timepoints that you must meet or your yearly raise gets docked. When your vehicle is the width of one of the tires on my vehicle, I think you should get the hell out of my way.

I've often told my coworkers that I would love to transfer over to the police department on campus and just ticket bicycles all day for not stopping at red lights or riding around traffic.

-the far left side is usually the best riding position since there are no rocks or oil there
-middle usually has a lot of oil and is the most slippery
-far right could have gravel, this is where the 2nd rider would ride if ur in a group
