I am disappointed there wasn’t a “Why Drivers hate bicyclists” title invovled.
I hate when they go the wrong way

It's nice to know not only that some people think I, a perfect angel, would ever do such a thing as outlined in my OP...but also that many others will never be quite sure if it was my OP or my admission of trolling that is the actual truth. All that time as a Playboy centerfold has made me as unpredictable (and downright crazy) as any woman! Gotta watch me every minute...and like my hero Col. Flagg: "Nobody can get the truth out of me because even I don't know what it is. I keep myself in a constant state of utter confusion."

Sounds to me like that driver would be doing this all the time, regardless of what OP done.

OP: nice one!

Ha ha - awesome! Next time that driver honks at you again, you'll just break out a huge satisfied smile.

Or perhaps now that he has experienced how unpleasant it is to be subjected to such behaviour, he'd stop it entirely... Ummm... well, maybe not. Still.

Being posted by chipcom is what made it completely believable. Many here could visualize chipcom doing exactly that. Note that the believers are still stepping in to comment.

Was "chipcon" a typo or statement of chipcom's trustworthy status?

That's right Chip. You should have yelled at him to "get on the sidewalk, or cars aren't bikes or you look like a *** dressed like that" or several other things to educate him like we so often are educated.

On purpose.

Helps me remember who to ignore next time. (I do not use the BikeForum "ignore" feature). Don't want to miss the fun, but don't want to get sucked into the BS every danged time!

There are a lot of BSers in the world. I manage to avoid getting doored by them most of the time. But I almost never get sucked in twice by the same BSer.

That's good...I hate seeing a man who buys his own BS more than once.

A monk was walking down a road minding his own business. A man walks up to the monk, pushes him down and gives him a good kick. A passerby witnesses the assault and rushes over to pick up the monk and brush the dirt from his robe. He offers to run after the man who assaulted the monk and call the authorities. But the monk declined the offer saying, "I'm fine...the assault is his problem."

You fooled a lot of BFers here chipcom. But the desire to commit this act of deception is really your problem, not those who trusted you and got fooled. Feel free to take my story, push it down and give it a good swift kick. We all expect that from you now.

That's nice.
Let's translate..."Hi, I'm Joey! I fell for a parody thread and I can't get my panties unbunched!"

Hmm, this gives me an idea for a new product: Troll Alert!

Anybody know where I can get ahold of C Everett Coop for an endorsement?

Awww, so the hug and the wet wipe didn't make you feel better?

Tell you what, I'll come into one of your many 'hey look at me" threads and tell you how cool you are...will that make your poor bruised ego feel better.
