Sometimes I get bullied on the road.

My response is usually pretty psychotic.

I know, but I hate that so many motorists think they can get away with harassing cyclists just because their vehicles are bigger, the roads and laws cater more to them. And the governments seem to want it that way because they haven't found a plausible excuse to tax cyclists to death.

But I do love it when motorists assume that all cyclists are hipsters and go on offense, because the safe method that cyclists - not hipsters, but real, serious cyclists - use to take revenge on pushy motorists costs motorists a lot more. A particularly nasty driver will get his rearview mirror ripped off.

I really hate people who use public restroom and don't flush after themselves.

eew.

I like how people skip over the toilets that arent flushed in order to find one that is flushed just so they don't have to flush them. Kind of weird how we do that even though flushing takes like 3 seconds.

Bicycle. I got a large brunt of bad treatment because I worked as a bicycle courier once. Like all people who were couriers for any long length of time, I carry several scars and have survived several collisions with cars.

Hello everyone,

I think bullies need to be shown strength. Bullies normally back down if they're met with a more powerful force. That's why they pick on the weak and isolated. When you're being bullied, the bully becomes bigger and scarier than everything else in your life. So you're scared to go for help. But that's what you need most at that time - help. You have to enlist the help of someone with more power. Or you have to band together with others so you have strength in numbers.

That's not always possible. What does that leave? It means you can either go to an authority figure or find a group. But let's be honest: Having authority isn't necessarily having power in a lot of hierarchal settings because the legal things an authority figure is allowed to do to a bully would just result in resentment and more harassment. And if a person is being bullied by virtue of being the odd man out, then chances are he became the odd man out in large part because he couldn't find anyone to accept him and therefore has no one to band together with.
