threaded, surely if they are slow enough for YOU to catch them up on your bike, they must be so obese that reaching old age is out of the question?Originally posted by threaded View PostI'll relate a story: in Denmark there is the road, then the cycle path and then the pavement.
An old person was getting out of a car up ahead of me, so being on my bicycle and knowing they would be an obstruction when I reached them, I let off and coasted to a halt a couple or so meters.
Some little tulip went shooting past, clipped the old dears walking stick and caused them to fall.
Later I caught up with them and explained that what they'd done was seriously uncool, and one day, if they were ever so lucky, they'd be old.
Anyways they ran the next red light. I guess they don't plan to become old.

So er, how long till this applies to you?Originally posted by DodgyAgent View PostThey dont like stepping out of their "comfort zone"
They expect everyone to wait on them
They cannot get in and out of the car
They are highly manipulative.
Either carry on working and therefore continue interfacing with people in the real world or shoot them.
Like immigrants they should FIFO
