Irritating ride....

A black Lexus rode my back wheel for about 100 yards (he was clear to go around), pulled alongside me for a few feet, then whipped around and hit the brakes, forcing me to brake. He then sprinted ahead about 1/8 mile, and turned into the church parking lot. His family was getting out as I passed, he shot me the finger FROM THE CHURCH PARKING LOT. Good grief. I wasn't in the middle of the lane, I was going 23 mph in a 30 mph zone, and he was less than 1/4 of a mile from his destination anyhow. I pedaled on.

I wish you had shown your badge to this one! I know, you were off duty, and don't like doing that.

I love your posts, btw.

Ha! Good job on the dog.

And I also really enjoy your posts.

So much for "christianity", and gotta love the dog story - I once was just about to grab one of those little pooches when out running, as it was pooping in a children's playground basically underneath the "no dogs" sign. I was going to dump it in the trash bin for the owner to dig out again.

jay-sus.

I wonder how badly those cretins would have soiled their underpants had they known what you do for a living.

I have to admit that I would have been amused by the dog biting its owner HA!

Were you able to get the license plate number from the Lexus? I'm sure that everything happened so quickly, that it would have been difficult.

Be safe,and keep an eye open for the Lexus

Last summer I came within 2 inches of being right-hooked by a black SUV with a sign on the driver's door that said CLERGY. There's no way he didn't see me before he turned.

Apparently 10 commandments was too much for this particular minister, so he decided to forget about the whole thou shalt not kill thing.

rotfl!
what great stories!
I dont' know what to tell you. I just hope when the first guy got INTO the church the sermon hit home.
I find extremely rude people and extremely nice people all times of day, really.

Around here people just get full of Jesus and waffles, then they're in a hurry to get home & watch Sunday sports. Other than being more retarded/careless, they aren't any more or less aggressive as far as I've noticed!

I remember one rainy Sunday morning, my ancient Chevy Nova died in the middle of a busy intersection. I was coming home from my overnight shift as a houseparent for severely physically and mentally disabled children. Dozens of cars loaded with people on their way to church sped by me as I attempt to push the car out of the way all by my 19-year-old lonesome. The guy who stopped to help me? Also on his way home from night shift.

Once I got home, dried off, and calmed down, I pictured Jesus waitin' on the front steps of several churches delivering a few dope slaps.
