Yep.Asshole or Arsehole?
What hose do you need?My LBS story from today was that I called up and confirmed that they had a brake hose in stock and was the length I needed.
I asked if they could install it while I was there, they say it's a week to take it off the bike and size it up. Ok, I tell him that I'll bring in just the brake. No worries he says well do it when you come in.
I turn up and confirm everything is good and hand the brake over. This workshop manager (supposedly) type guys says he'll see me in a week.
I go over what was said on the phone, he basically calls me a liar because he apparently heard the other guy on the phone to me.
Then he asks the guy I spoke to on the phone, who said yeah, it's just a cable, and Mr Douche still says it'll be a week.
I really wished they weren't the only place in stock and I didn't need it urgently for the weekend...
Just reinforces why I go into a LBS about once a year. I'm sure there's good ones around, but they rarely are when I walk in.
All sorted... Thanks anyway.What hose do you need?
Did you ask if I had one?All sorted... Thanks anyway.
I thought $85 was expensive for the Uberbike hoses, but that's at least for 2 ends. I got stung $70 for the 1 hose today.
No... But I was only up for a drive as far as Geelong. Needed it today!! Now! Got trails to ride!Did you ask if I had one?

While we are mad at these people can we also be mad at the people that have to look for their wallet / purse at the register - How the fuck did you think you were going to pay mother fucker?Here's a few fresh ideas
- people under 25 that line up for the bar, but then when it is their turn to be served they don't already have some proof of age out. You've watched me ask every other person in front of you, what makes you think I'm not going to ask you?
ahhh, that's my wife .....the people that have to look for their wallet / purse at the register
LTIH ... bars that don't have beer on tapHere's a few fresh ideas

- dudes who are like 18 and a day that get pissy that I don't run tap beer.
- actually anyone stupid enough to ask what beer I have in tap...there are no beers on tap, there are no taps! You can see there are none, use your brain. For one or two of them they get a beer poured by Marcel Marceau and it is free.
I haaate parties, pubs, weddings, conference mingles etc. I’ll talk shit anywhere, anytime with anyone no issues, but the expectations of polite chat in those settings....I can’t get out quick enough.Probably not a hate, but going out for tea this Saturday night with friends.
Anxiety been a constant in my life. I like the idea of catching up with friends, but in a public setting really gives me the jitters. With covid and not getting out in this sort of setting for quite a while, I guess has eased the tension and has not really been present much. I'll probably be a freaking mess come Saturday afternoon.
Not sure why I am writing about it on here. I guess seeing if any others deal with this sort of thing?
Yep, plus a food allergy (anaphylaxis) and having to deal with everyone either teasing you about what you can't have, or telling you can have whatever they're eating too because it doesn't have (whole) nuts in it. Unsurprisingly, I don't go out much. Luckily I'm a pretty solitary creature generally, but sometimes it does get a bit lonely.Probably not a hate, but going out for tea this Saturday night with friends.

I'm similar. Pretty good with friends, but the busier the place the worse I get. Crowds just freak me the fuck out (one of the many reasons why I generally ride alone and head out 1st thing in the morning). Worst of all, my main anxiety reaction is to sweat like crazy, so I look like I've just come out of a swimming pool.Probably not a hate, but going out for tea this Saturday night with friends.

I don't have an anxiety problem with crowds or anything like that, but if the crowd is too big and the background noise becomes too loud, I can't hear a fucking thing and I just sit there watching. Which gets Mrs George's anxiety up because she thinks I'm upset and not joining in, when I'm just chilling. If I concentrate really hard on one voice I can hear most of what they say.Probably not a hate, but going out for tea this Saturday night with friends.
