Help me understand this phenomenon. It would be physically impossible for these women to be in a relationship 100% of the time, or at the very least highly unlikely, we'll be conservative and estimate a 5% Out of Relationship (OoR) relative period of singularity. Working from this premise, it would follow that there is in fact, some finite amount of time at which she is not currently in a relationship, since time is not zero. Now, this length of time could vary depending on many elements, but the fact remains that this period of time does exist, and it is theoretically possible that paths could cross within this finite period. However, the likely hood of such an event taking place is extremely low when you consider the rather conservative estimate, as well as the extremely low quantity available to begin with. Yet, the fact remains, in order for a new relationship to start, it would imply that some asshole has somehow achieved the nearly impossible and done just that, facilitated a path intersection during this damn near non-existant OoR period AND achieved a sufficient level of attraction to establish a connection.

Mind boggling stuff. Not really sure if I'm feeling any true rage, but my brain now hurts so maybe the rage will follow.

Wife going out shopping with a friend & buying some weird ass piece of furniture on a whim without knowing where it is going, how it will get into where that ends up being, or how it will get from the store to there in the first place....

This needs it's own thread.

When you're looking you won't find it. Women sence the desperation. Not saying you're desperate, but you're giving a vibe wether you realize it or not.

When you're in a relationship you're more confident and desirable. It's basically "she wants him so there must be something special about him".

My wife is hot, I am not. When we're out together, I get hit on all the time when they think she isn't looking.

Ask most married guys, they'll tell you the same.

Ok wait wait wait, let me get this straight. . .

In order to facilitate a connection, you must facilitate another connection prior to the connection you are trying to facilitate in order to facilitate the facilitation of the desired connection? Would it not then follow that in order to facilitate the prior connnection, you would paradoxically need to facilitate yet another prior connection? This is fucked bros, what the hell kind of bass acwards disaster of a human instinct is causing this bullshit?

All good though I have a plan, I’ll just convince one of my chick friends to pretend we’re dating and then boom, that should be the ticket right there, instant success. Either that or I’ll just throw some Starbucks stickers on my van and call it a day.

I hate that I'm a 61 year old dumbass. I should be smarter than I am at this age.

I hate disease, hunger and poverty that destroys little kids.

I hate crazy traffic.

I hate when folks throw crap in the bed of their truck which blows out and causes chaos and mayhem on the highways.

I feel better...thanks.

I was riding my Kawasaki Concours during lunch hour on a busy street in the center lane,the pick up in front of me had a mattress and box spring in the back, as traffic is coming up to intersection the light turns red and we all start to slow down wind picks up and blows the box spring out of the pickup and land right in front of me I'm on the brakes hard but I am not going to stop in time,can't go into either left or right lanes because of traffic,I then decide to try to ride up on it and hopefully stop.My front wheel is on top of the box spring and the truck in front is now really braking hard.I hit the front brake and the box spring start to slide forward and under the truck as it comes to a complete stop.I also come to a stop with my front wheel about an inch from the rear bumper of the truck. Now I am struggling to not let the bike fall over as I can get my feet planted very firmly on the ground with the extra height of the bike being on the box spring. I finally get it back to a balance point but not before tweaking my back.
Now the truck driver gets out and is mad at me for riding onto his box spring and asking why I just didn't go around it,I explain in not so polite words that he is lucky I didn't plow into his truck and hurt or kill myself for his negligence of not securing his cargo.
Luckily a cop saw the whole thing and helped my get the bike backed off the box spring and away I went tweaked back and all.As I left the cop was talking with the truck driver. hope he got a ticket.

Damn that really sucks.

About 8 years ago I saw this driving through the ghetto. The picture is not good but you can just barely see the orange extension cord they used through the windows to tie these down. Gotta hand it to them at least they thought about it.

I’m a road cyclist who obeys traffic signals and rides very close to the edge of the road. I don’t like getting hit in the back with empty Copenhagen cans and hearing “get off the road you ****ing ***got.

I don’t like people killing snakes. I live on a coastal salt marsh where there are lots of rats and mice. Snakes don’t carry human communicable diseases and they eat rats that do transfer diseases to humans. Rats and mice are also very destructive to any building they inhabit while snakes are not.

There is a canyon road nearby not "recommended" for cyclist, but there are also "share the road" signs.
A couple of friends and I were on that road once. Going west is very fast, so we were able to go at, or over the speed limit. All of the cars that passed had no problem giving room and getting around us. Until one jackass decided to get beside us and yell how bikes aren't allowed on the road. Funny the guy lecturing on safety was the only one who put our lives in danger.
So he drives ahead and pulls into a turnoff to yell some more. What he didn't see was our much faster friend who was there waiting for us. Now this angry guy is faced with 3 guys, none of us really to be messed with. He quickly changed his mind and got back into his 90s Pontiac complete with donut tire, and drove off. Of course he yelled more and gave us the finger as he drove off.
