It's = it is

Your's = wrong

resurrected zombie threads that serve no purpose when there are important matters such as chain lube being discussed.

Oh, I know the rules, but for some reason have a blind spot in implementing them. The whole your's thing is a rule-breaker.

Incorrect.

Pet Peeve thread is sticky-worthy.

WTF do you need to slam on the brakes for when you weren't in the right lane or even going over the speed limit to begin with?

In our state it is the law to slow down... and get out of the immediate late adjacent to the emergency/enforcement vehicle with lights on. Oh well.


Resurrection of dead threads is awesome; I make it a point to do so whenever possible, especially when the are YEARS old :D

Man, when I was a mod on another forum, if I got bored, I would go through and edit posts that had the wrong homophone and capitalize and bold their error (and sign it, of course).

That could be a full time job on this forum, with people posting about riding there rode bikes with bad breaks.



That hurt a little bit to type.

Gah! My monitor doesn't smell right after displaying that. Some people do not belong in that outfit, and she's one of them.

My pet peeve is, well, "well". Lately it seems like people are finding it impossible to string together more than two sentences without putting "well" between commas.

Seriously. <NSFW>

This happened to me the other day, and said person was wearing a gorilla suit. Maybe gorillas have poor vision.

A 300 pound Bike Salesman, telling me the suspension seat post on my Sirrus LTD (carbon), is just added weight. And that he would never have one on his bike. I told him to take it up with Specialized, it was factory installed. ;)

Vehicles that leave such a large space behind you at a stoplight that you wonder if they will trip the sensor.
