I have similar feelings about the word hate.  Thinking it and/or verbalizing it only makes me feel bad.  Words do hurt.  Happy thoughts, happy thoughts.

I dislike it when I get to the point where little things start adding up and bringing me down.  I really start to get to the point where I begin "hating'" on things when life stops being fun.  I've been on some rides like that when I just wanted it to be OVER and every little thing was making me hate on it.  I totally can relate to your morning ride.

 

Is it noon yet?  9:30am is a little early for me to start cracking beers -even for a friday ;)

Amen!

 

Anything that doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

i hate both of you

 

i kid i kid

 

i got the idea from watching a guy do this crazy 10,000ft climb in hawaii. his support crew would check in on him every thousand feet and ask him who he hates. it was comical, it was a way to help his suffering. i had a particularly rough ride that morning and resorted to hating to help my focus and drive.

on that note, please enjoy this video

I hate all the haters, I have no tolerance for intolerance.  War is peace, property is theft, work makes you free, Oceania has always been at war with East Asia.

Ummm have you ridden in the loop much? on a windy day it comes from NSE and W sometimes in multiple directions.

How can a headwind be 360 degrees?  Isn't that mathematically impossible, and aren't 360-degree winds called tornadoes? :)

Agreed.

Oh, and I kinda hate that we broke Feb all-time snow record.  Would've been OK without that record to tout.

the impatient driver who honked at the driver in front who was letting me pass by so they can take their left turn without cutting me off..

The usual; busses and the imperial system.

hmm, I hate the buses because they're always stopping and cutting over into the right side of the road/lane. I hate following behind them, then having to attempt to maneuver around them when they inevitably stop in a block or two, and of course never riding along side them.

I've really got nothing against the drivers of the buses, I just think they're the biggest pain in the ass while trying to get around on my bike.

Not to hate on your hate . . . but I like buses quite a bit.

I know it's not likely, but if you could ride around in a few and get to know some of the drivers you might see things differently.

Bus drivers in this city are scary.   They are the most obnoxious and aggressive drivers I've ever had to deal with.  They get away with just about any behavior in this city it seems.  They take the "I'm bigger than you so get out of my way" school of driving and mix it with the Chicago union mobster mentality and "you can't touch me regardless how how bad I do my job or put the general public at risk" to a whole new level of frightening.

 

The last time I took a bus in this city was when the Blue Line was down for maintenance and had a shuttle system to get around the closed track.  The drivers (both ways on that round trip commute) were obnoxious and were honking their horns every 20-30 seconds and pushing their way through traffic in a way that I can only describe as maniacal.  


Riding around the typical Chicago cage driver or cabbie is bad enough.  The bus drivers make them both look like Mr. Rogers in comparison.  I keep far away from the busses in this city.  The'll run your ass over just as soon as look at you.
