It only takes one jerk to make me want to swear-off group rides.

Funny addition to my story. So DH and I were talking about this woman today and he thinks he may know who she is...and the plot thickens. If it's the same woman he's thinking she is, apparently she worked for a brief time at our LBS and it wasn't a good fit. She left saying that the owner (a friend of ours) was hard to work with/for.

Uh...that's kind of funny, since this guy is one of the most accommodating and fun people I know. He can be stubborn, but most of his employees have been with him for a LONG time and he'd go to the ends of the Earth to help a friend.

My DH vaguely recalls interacting with this woman and it not being a particularly positive experience.

"the thing most often opened by mistake is the mouth."

or as MIL used to say " engage brain before opening mouth."

Yep.

And your Texan businesses crack me up. Here in MI a popular combo is laundromat + tanning salon!
