Motorcyclists that don't wear any protective clothing


I have a particular thing about people on bicycles without protective clothing. I wish it was compulsory here, but until it is I shall continue to wind my car window down and shout "HELMET" very loudly at them. :happy

But surely it's a good thing. I mean aren't we always hearing about there being a shortage of organ donors?

Well, that explains it. I was so confused!

Edited because I forgot to add my current peeve: people who park in the space in front of my house. Frackin' park somewhere else, lady.

On a related topic: bicyclists that have a helmet, but carry it hanging from their handlebars.

I'm tempted to whack them upside the head and ask if the helmet helped with that. :devil

People who believe that their love of football is enough to permit them to leave work early. Leaving those of us who don't to shoulder their responsibilities.

And make enough money to pay them.

I hate how people rally around every one else's shitty feeling's yet they don't give a damn about the people who are actually hurting, who are feeling stressed and miserable for actual reasons, and not for something as silly and mundane as a fucking headache. You're using your sympathy wrong. Shut the hell up about your headache and go take some goddamn asprin. Whining about thing's like that just to get people's attention and sympathy make's you look sad and pathetic and it won't make me like you. Perhaps you should listen to people's judgements about you, cause I see more and more everyday just how true they are.

YES! i am a spelling/grammar freak. i swear everytime i see someone spell an obvious word wrong or make a 'your' 'there' mistake i just wanna smack them back into the third grade where they belong :smash it's not the same with unusual words because yeah, i get not all people can spell that well, i myself suck at lotsa words, but basic english! i mean for petes sake! especially when you let them know they're getting it wrong and they STILL do it. iono if its immature stubbornness or just plain stupidity but god damn. it eeeeeats at me.
