Foo - PMS Condition Warnings

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.

I do that too and feel the same way. I'll shake my head, mouth "moron" and stronger names, and when I'm PMS'ing, yell "scofflaw!!". Woe to the easily embarassed scofflaw who encounters me at certain times of the month...
This quote from another thread prompted the thought - why ain't you gals required to provide some type of signalling or warning method to keep the rest of us poor schmucks aware of your PMS condition for the day. (OMG am I writing this? I hope I survive the day! :eek: ) This would be especially helpful for smart-arsed, loud-mouthed, sweeties like me...who just can't help making humorous or complimentary cracks (or a combination of the two).
I figure for female cyclists, a warning flag, much like the heat condition flags we used to have in boot camp, might be a workable idea.
Green: Everything is cool, be yourself, enjoy it while it lasts.
Yellow: Proceed with caution, no imminent danger, but one wrong word and you could be toast.
Red: Danger, Will Robinson, Danger! Avoid contact at all costs and if it cannot be avoided, have your escape route planned, your life insurance premiums paid and your will updated.
Black: OMFG, SHE'S GONNA BLOW! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!!
Thank you for your support and cooperation. :D
Shouldn't you just assume we're always teetering on the edge of black and treat us accordingly?

Depending on what exactlly you mean by the black description I don't know... uh well never mind :D
You are an *******.
I am so ****ing sick and tired of *******s who use PMS to make fun of women.
Dumbass. I am personally sick of you.

Koffee, you should be ashamed of yourself!
Perhaps some peer review and intervention is in order here. :p

As usual with chipcom..I almost spit out the water I was drinking when I read this! Being a former Marine, I can relate to the "flag conditions" too. This was just too funny. Although, I rarely seem to have issues with the women I know around these times of month. Some of them even mention that they have a visitor.
Koffee...ease up there girl. I think chipcom was trying to be humorous. Myself and a fellow female co-worker both found it funny.
I think maybe Koffee is OTR ;)

Funny how making fun of men doesn't tick you off so much...so much for equal treatment! Can I assume this is a black flag day?

Lex, your post should be included in the wiki definition of WISDOM ! ;)
Listen *******.
I don't waste my time making fun of men on the forums. I also don't call them pencil dicks if they are so threatened by women that they have to belittle them by making fun of them because they get periods. So if you have a problem with women, then perhaps you should go back to your natural brokeback state and get bent.

Definitely a black flag day. I believe the DC area has taken it's toll on your humor, Koffee.
Edit: and actually I am quite proud of my pencil dick...I named him Wee Willy.

The really skinny fellow we played D & D with in college never lived down the nickname he earned from using his portable backgammon game's apparatus - "Dinky dice".

A little patience and definitly more love usually do the trick and chipcom, I didnt think you were a ******* for asking to be worned..
I have told quite a few people off while pmsing and have offended others and almost broke friendships in a day of pmsing.. gosh, i could create a natural disaster if I could.. I do warn my loved ones.. something I fly off the handle with no warning or provocation so if Im going to reacte this way and want respect from them for what Im going thru, they also deserve the same respect by letting them know what's causing this.

With you, it's not PMS, it's that Frenchie temper coming out!! The more you speak french, the more turned on I get. The more turned on I get, the madder you get, until soon you bash my head into hamburger with a fireplace poker, only to be found later crying over the ragged remains of my poor, fragile lil body, screaming "THE VOICES, I HAD TO MAKE THE VOICES STOP!!!" Yes my dear, now you see why you and I can never meet...it would be the end of civilization as we know it...but I luv ya anyway. :)

After going through a joyful reminder of what it is to be a woman through a recent trip to the wonderful land of birth control, I have to say that yeah...men DO have it easier when it comes to the reproductive systems. As for PMS, I don't really think men have room to talk about women being a pain in the ass around certain times of the month. I think that men have some kind of cycle as well and also go through hormone fluctuations which may cause them to act more emotional or "pissy" at certain times.

I get kind of emotional and pissy when I get my reproductive system caught in my zipper:eek: I don't think that we have it so easy:D (Example in movie There's Something about Mary)

I was happy to see you started this, Chip. I didn't reply to your comment in the other thread 'cause I didn't want to hijack the topic. Your warning system idea is pretty funny, but I can see why it ticked off some of the women. Had you been raised by my mother, you may not have lived to see your adult years. My brother and I actually kept a calendar of our mom's cycle so we knew when not to make waves around the house. I think my stepdad did it too while it was still relevant, though he'll never admit to it. No judgment or ridicule intended - my mom is otherwise one of the sweetest, kindest women you'll ever meet - it was just a fact of life for about 3 days each month.
It's ironic that my comment inadvertently started all this drama because yelling at cycling scofflaws is probably the only temper-related PMS symptom I have. I used to yell at the TV when there was something stupid being shown or reported (100% of all TV for me). I threw the TV out. My friends tell me that I'm always expressing contempt for moronic behavior in subtle ways, but when I PMS it becomes loud and direct.
I see and hear about men getting all aggressive and in-your-face about bad behavior in traffic, whether in a car or on a bike. I've always classified that sort of thing as "fueled by testosterone". I look at it this way: so long as there is no physical harm involved, I'll forgive-and-forget men's testosterone-poisoned tantrums if they do the same for my PMS tantrums. For the most part, my relationships with men tend to be harmonious as a result.

Bah, men have their issues as well.
Nothing is quite as discomforting as "ball hop" when on a bike....imagine getting kicked in your junk, but instead of just once, it's whatever your cadence is per minute.
When you are in a sprint, and reallly want to win, it becomes a rather "special ed" moment....either lose and feel like half a man, or win and feel like a man who just won a ro-sham-bo tournament. Honestly, at that moment, either way you still lose :(
...then you have the joy of hard benches and sitting on them :(
...then the zipper from hell :(
....then abrasions on the sides of your little trooper, from your short stitches, or just the way the spandex of the short was made :( :( :(
....seriously, having a few sets of dangly appendages in that region of the body is more of a pain in the rump than you would think. I have no clue what PMS is like, and honestly don't want to....but trust me on this...some days, I just wish my junk would jump up into my pelvis until needed...
