    I find people on those very very loud bikes absolutely annoying. I find it deafening and I think they just feel the need to compensate small reproductive organs with loud noise.

    Loud pipes save lives, lady. It has nothing to do with genitalia.

    Agree 100%! How many times have you not seen a motorcycle while driving? But if you hear one that is loud, you look twice. Heck, Loud pipes on a motorcycle should be mandatory on all street bikes.
    i absolutely agree with this. my boyfriend just got a bike, and i have a feeling i will end up being very grateful for how loud they are.


    I am happy to report that I never had an "oh, ****" moment where I didn't notice a biker, someone on a bicycle or pedestrian.
    I also don't mind them so much when I am in my own car with the windows closed, but it is very annoying as a pedestrian. You as the rider have a helmet on and might not hear it as loud especially as the noise comes out behind you. I

    By your theory if I have a quiet car I should drive around honking the whole time. i might try that. Or maybe I will honk when I pass you by. i bet you will thank me :)

    your theory is ridiculous, and you sound very uneducated. motorcycles are on roads shared with cars, trucks, SUVs and larger motorized vehicles. Motorcycles by comparison are very small and easily fall into a person's blind spot. I'm certain the loud volume of them has saved lives on a number of occasions. For the most part, bicycles and pedestrians either a) are not on the roads or b) have their own designated lane on roads.

    while i'm happy for you that you have not yet almost hit a biker (motorcycle), that doesn't give your blanket statement any validity. don't be an idiot.

    Believe me, it's just as loud directly on top of the bike as it is next to it.

    I'm glad that you have such excellent situational awareness that you've never not noticed a biker, but a lot of people don't. I'd rather mildly annoy pedestrians with loud pipes than have someone multitasking in their car not notice my bike in the lane that they decide to merge into without looking because they think it's clear.

    As far as honking your horn goes, if you want to go around antagonizing bikers, then that's on you, madam.

    Unbelievably cheap employers. I've worked at the same job for 2 years, I'm in a managerial position and have never had any disciplinary issues, and my hourly wage hasn't even gone up a whole dollar since the day I started. Needless to say I'm quitting very soon and going back to school, this was a temporary thing... But still. Absolutely ridiculous.

    Dont ever work for a family dollar! I worked there 5 years ended in a assistant manager position and only made 3$ more then I did when I started as a even cashier in highschool! Blah!

    Does she actually have spina bifida? :(
    Wow, she does sound like a narcissist! I was born with spina bifida, and have a myriad dietary/allergy issues! I sure would never WANT other people to have them, much less say I had them if I didn't!

    My band-aid keeps wanting to fall off... and it's funny too. Say's Shark Bite.

    What's the point of a funny band-aid if it wants to fall off?

    Almost everything about the way people mindlessly drive.

    Having water in my hand when trying to pour shampoo

    Too small amounts of liquid left in containers in the fridge (ie, kids left a droplet of OJ this morning)

    Bad customer service (like you are interrupting them and bothering them when asking them to do their job)

    Mindless political lemmings who haven't formulated an opinion beyond what their favorite media outlets and personalities spin.

    Rain on a tennis court

    Getting older. Yes, it does suck on certain levels.

    etc.

    I had an English professor tell me that the correct use of the word is "Enunciate," not "Pronounce."

    Oops I forgot to quote the guy from earlier... talking about pronouncing the word AXE instead of ASK. Nevermind.
