Title: What is wrong with some people?
Post by: Wayne Orwig on June 29, 2026, 07:54:59 PM
Here we are on the front porch of the mountain cabin in North Carolina. They allow these SxS vehicles to run up and down the paved roads here. Annoying.

One just went zooming by on the pavement. Left rear tire totally missing. Rear brake rotor or whatever is there, throwing a shower of sparks.

What? Why would anyone treat their vehicle like that? I can only guess that it is four-wheel drive to even be able to do that.

The area is noted for having illegal stills and meth factories, so there is that.

Pretty much everything Wayne.
I hate it that these days, very few people can put a sentence together without saying…” like”.
“I’m like…”
“He’s like…”
One young lady when recounting what some guy had said…?
“I’m like, (blah blah blah…)”
“And he’s like gone, (blah blah blah…)”
One literary giant in explaining his approval of work done…? “I like, like it…”
Even a damn Judge said it in court.. :angry:

Yeah SxS's around us are annoying and most are probably not street legal.

At any rate they do not respect the speed limits and drive recklessly…I know and "get off my lawn”

But honestly there are kids and animals and it’ll take a bad “accident” before action is taken.

Ride it like you stole it. Which is a possibility.

Could have been a rental that broke down and the driver didn't care. I don't see 4-wheelers as being an invasion to the environment.

I dunno, but sometimes it's a source of great entertainment.

Some peoples sole purpose in life is a lesson on what NOT to do.

And I am grateful for that.

Kids stopped saying "he goes" in about the early 90s...the ones who said it all have kids and mortgages now, or are thinking about early retirement.  Maybe time to let that one go?

The one that drives me nuts is "Where are you at?" Or any sentence that ends in "at." No biggie though, something else will replace it. Wanna for want to is another. I am not getting old, I am old and it shows. 😁

A guy can wake up every morning thinking about what annoys him, or...........he can wake up thinking about an upcoming bike trip, thinking about his beautiful wife lying beside him, a big holiday coming up with roast beast and tasty beverages.
It's a choice.

What's wrong with some people indeed!  My friend in Wisconsin told me that he and his buddy were out riding their Harleys yesterday, and some old dude coming the other way in an SUV flipped them both the bird for no reason whatsoever!  No common decency anymore...

Nothing so uncommon as common courtesy.
And decorum is possibly dead.
Too much hate in the world.
It costs nothing to be kind.
That’s all

Great!  For those that might have missed the source of the birds.   :grin:

That's nothing.  I saw something similar at the Atlanta airport once.  A tug driver (you know, those big tractor-like vehicles they used to push back the airliners) was flying across the ramp with a flat rear tire. When the driver attempted to turn the tug, the rear tire parted company from the rim.  The drive stopped for about 10 seconds, looked down at the rim now sitting on the concrete, and then took off again at full speed across the ramp in a shower of sparks!  The scar in the concrete was there for years.   :shocked: Some folks just don't give a sheet.

My personal favorite lately brought to my attention by the installer of our mini split Airconditioner/ heat pump system is “Stuff like that”. He eventually did an OK job and with our recent heat/ humidity wave, we’re very happy it’s installed even though it took him a year to install 5 heads and two compressor units.

In my first conversation with him he used the phrase “and Stuff like that “ no less than 25 times in a 3 minute conversation, I kid you not. It got so annoying I started referring to him as and stuff like that when having conversations with my wife. Over time I’ve gotten so attuned to the phrase being used by a lot of folks, even hearing news announcers/ reporters on Public radio using it.

So now when my wife happens to be gone for a day and texts me asking what I did all day its not necessary to provide a list of my accomplishments, I just say played with the dog and stuff like that. And we both get a laugh out of it.
So get off my lawn and let me change the oil on my bike, drink a beer and stuff like that.

Heck, I look back at things I did/way I acted when I was young and if I met that guy today I'd think, "What an a$$whole!"  ;)
