Oh my god. People, I do not own a bicycle. I am a pedestrian. I will generally defend pedestrians to my cyclist friends and bitch about cyclists to my pedestrian friends
( Read more... )
Oh my god they made me so mad. Like, I assumed they didn't realise and would quickly move off. Instead their tone was like, "Oh I am so sick of being told about this stupid bike path." Grrr...
This was not stupid. I'll excuse stupid, as a general rule. This was utterly condescending and self centred and ... I can't even find the words for it. It was like, "What do I care about cyclists; I'm going to prove nobody can tell me what to do by continuing to sit here where all these annoying people keep telling me not to sit." Like, they didn't even try to excuse themselves! It was just like, "Yeah, we've been told that already. You're not telling us anything new."
See, that's my definition of stupid, really. Not lack of intelligence; lack of basic self-preservation.
Btw, I was nearly hit by bike rider twice last week. Once on the footpath coming around a blind corner and once on a pedestrian crossing when the cyclist had a red light. I'm glad my reflexes are still pretty good.
I checked back half an hour later and the whole lot of them were gone and I really hope it was because the police cleared them out. There was some educating that freally frigging needed to happen there. Unbelievable.
Um, hi there! Forgive the randomly dropping by your journal... I sent you a PM but LJ is being terrible about notifications today and I'm not sure if you got it.
I was just checking in with you about a fic a friend and I wrote inspired by your genius "Busy Week on the Fridge", and wanting to make sure you were okay with it.
If you didn't get the PM, let me know and I will explain fully.
