Foo - The What Not To Do Thread ...

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.
Do not leave an overripe banananana in your backpack all day and then unzip it 45 min. before you leave, expect a swarm of fruitflys to explode out of the pocket. :( You should see where I sit - I think there's about 30 of the buggers on my screen this moment.
Do not leave a largemouth bass in a cooler in the trunk of a car in Texas in summer for a week.
Don't go to a gas station and ask the clerk to appraise your handgun.

Do not leave your very gross smelly cycling shorts even close to the bed, let alone your g/f's pillow. She will think it was intentional and then place it in your pillowcase...:twitchy:
Is handgun some sort of euphemism?

no, real gun. Gas station attendants clearly don't know that value of a gun and will typically offer what ever they have in the draw at the time.
Do not leave wine in your car in the middle of winter in Alaska. It will explode and is damn difficult to clean off the floor, the windows, the seats, and the ceiling.

^^Oh god that is such a good point! My mom used to leave her white chardonnay bottles in the freezer by accident. I recall eating many a wine soaked ice cream sandwiches. Ah...youth...

if you have any wine, drink it!
I had to pour away a couple of half finished bottles a while ago as the only thing it was good for was 30 pounds of salad.

Don't drain a Naglene bottle full of water right before a ride, either. That was unpleasant...

Don't leave a banana on top of a camera in a pannier on a long hot ride.

On my first date (hundreds of years ago in Peace River, Alberta, right next to the arctic
circle in the middle of the winter) the damn beer froze in the trunk of the car, so we
opened all the bottles, turned them upside down in glasses, and about half of each beer
dripped into each glass (as we eagerly waited and downed it). We didn't finish and it was
only the next morning when the other half of the beer, only pure water was in the glasses.
Then I realized the alcohol and the flavor had melted first. Of course the water got dumped.
But it was a fun time.

Don't leave dark chocolate in your bookbag, in the same vicinity as your Bluetooth headset and other high-priced electronic items. The result may disappoint you.

Since farting while her head is under the covers is called a 'Dutch Oven', would this (shorts on the pillow) be a Dutch Frying Pan?
