I am looking forward to this.

I wonder how long you will be able to keep this going, do you really have that many things that pi$$ you off?

Is this a group thread? Because I get inordinately angry that left turn lights don't get activated by bikes.

A bicyclist that stops at lights? Why don't you talk to m about something plausible, like the Easter Bunny?

Corollary - The people that try to be polite and hold the door, but stand in the doorway to do it. Especially when their stomach hangs across half the walking space.

I mean really. I appreciate the thought, but I don't want to rub up against your squishy gut to get in to Einstein's for my morning bagel/coffee. Just clear the way (I'll even beep while you back out!) and let me go on my way...

No, either I do the bike roll / cleat hop over to the walk signal so I can get across or I just run it when it's clear... though I have been chased by cops while on a bike by the police for running a stop sign at 10am on a completely dead residential street (in California, not here) and while it was good times I'm not sure I want to do it again.

Cops that do not obey the street laws grind my gears

- not once, but twice I had law enforcement buzz through my stop sign without stopping and I had the right away (in that it was a 4 way stop and I was already stopped and waiting to make my turn on my bike)!  Once by a patrol car (I called him in to the station) and once my a motorcycle cop. 

I also had a cop swerving in and out of the bike lane as he was traveling down the street.  When I caught him at the light I noted that he was on his cell phone (typical teenager mode of driving) - So, when I called the Peoria Police station I mentioned the intersection, the patrol car number, and said I thought he was drinking on duty - wonder how that went down when he got back?

I feel your pain Jerry!  Cops tork me off worse than anything else.

Just this weekend, while I was walking across the parking lot to enter my gym, a cop (without lights or siren on), hit his accellerator so he could make me, the pedestrian with the right-of-way wait for him to pass.  It took everything I had not to leap in front of the car and sacrifice myself so he would have to explain why he was speeding in a parking lot just so he wouldn't have to wait for me to walk across the street.

You like that? No. It's the name I use when I register products
and don't want to give a real name. The confluence of the idea of
the Swedish Spaniard amuses me.

I hate....

being sick but feeling great. I feel otherwise great, but I can't breathe through my nose, and cough when I breathe too hard through my mouth. So exercise is right out the door, but I'm totally in the mood for a good long run.

Today - - Door to Door Solicitors 1- they never come at a good time, 2- they're not selling anything I want or need, 3- they're far to pushy. Unless your selling girl scout cookies or raising money for your Little League, stop ringing my doorbell. Oh, you don't have a website or any info to leave with me? Sure why don't I just hand over my credit card number right now.
