it wasnt some tire pump fest, two people flatted, i gave away a tube to one and fixed the other with patch kits. we didn't notice it was a double puncture, so we had to patch it a second time.

solidarity in ditching somebody who flatted and the three people helping them? yeah, thats more like "being selfish". seriously, that was not a cool thing to do.

its not that far to the pretzel factory or whatever. so i am an existentialist. **** happens, be prepared. but the best part was the ire i was getting from people as i sped off. long post sorry sorry.
pretty sure you were the one who flatted at second and vine and called babychris to bring a pump yesterday. my pump, that was in my bag. it got you home, but you could have walked. you expected friends to help and they did. solidarity. way to keep the solidarity moving. people wouldn't have looked at you like an ******* if you weren't being an *******. attitude like you had last night is the thing that is going to keep people from helping YOU when YOU flat, but i will probably still show solidarity and help because, well, i'm not an *******.

long story short, you were wrong. you complain about the pretzel ride turning into a race, and then last night you were the only one who couldn't wait. stop being selfish and show a sense of community.
