The hot plate saga continues, for the third week running:

“guy I worked with, who was basically a six-foot tall devoutly Christian golden retriever”

“She thought it needed paprika all over it. Whatever, I let it roll off my back and told her I would inform the kitchen manager of her suggestion.” [...3 months later...] “the server from her table came wide eyed into the kitchen and told my manager that Lobster Lady was demanding to be paid royalties for suggesting…

“The driver said he was reacting to a wasp in the car.”

Thanks! And it’s amazing how many people think that a minor infraction justifies attempted murder.

A serious question: Might it be possible to use human plasma instead of bovine plasma?

Interesting! Thanks for looking into it. What’s the bet that that’s one of the things they’re trying to replace with this research?

“imply (apparently) that you support the assailant”

How the hell does not wearing the right gear make it okay for this asshole to deliberately run into him?

“I believe you are a moron. Sorry, I was stung by a wasp.”

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen drivers deliberately do things like this.

I’d be insisting on seeing the mark where the imaginary wasp supposedly stung him.

So what you’re saying is that if it’d been a car passing him, he would’ve swerved to hit it too, are you? That’s something that happens a lot, is it?

It happens everywhere. Back when I used to commute by bicycle in Australia, I routinely had drivers deliberately fuck with me in life-threatening ways. And that’s on top of the ways drivers could’ve unintentionally killed me, which were much more common. That’s why I quit riding to work.

“The double yellow dicates that, by definition, there is no safe margin.”

“20mph under isn’t illegal in general. Whatever the law says, the law says. I know that the minimum legal speed on a freeway is 40mph, which is at least 25 under the maximum.”

You’re making excuses for the asshole who deliberately ran the riders off the road.

“I think that shows he wasn’t an asshole.”
