			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>great. that&#8217;s great.</p>
<p>old fart on some POS no name buddy looking f&#8217;in thing goes 32 mph all the way up cherry creek, and i mean ALL THE WAY up cherry creek, so i pass him at my usual speed, which is the speed limit, 40 on this road, to get to colorado blvd. when i get there it&#8217;s red so he rolls up behind me. then he decides that the oncoming traffic has slowed enough that he&#8217;s just going to roll right out in front of a truck (because i <em>must</em> be going, right?) and proceeds to run into me.</p>
<p>%$#@%$#@$#@$#@$#@$^^%#!</p>
<p>because my rear mudguard is oh-so strong already with its three repairs and its tenuous multilayers of freaking GLUE, right?</p>
<p>anyway, i see him coming and holler, HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY HEY! and this guy, instead of using his brakes, tries to f&#8217;ing <em>stop himself with his feet</em>. right? trying to pull a flintstone, right? like it&#8217;s a pedal bike. oh my god. so i&#8217;m yelling HEY and he&#8217;s shuffling his feet ineffectually at the ground and then he&#8217;s like, &#8220;gee, i thought you were going. HYUK.&#8221;</p>
<p>yeah, HURP DURP. i&#8217;m all &#8220;No! did you LOOK? you need to LOOK, <em>guy</em>.&#8221; seriously? you thought. you <em>thought</em>? you <em>assumed</em> because you weren&#8217;t <em>looking</em>.you do that to a car, you&#8217;re going to hurt yourself, you do that to a hell&#8217;s angel, he&#8217;s going to pound you into the ground, tard. <em>I </em>might pound your ass into the ground!</p>
<p>shitty scooter riders piss me off more than shitty cage drivers. i <em>expect</em> car drivers to be careless and stupid. that&#8217;s how i stay alive. this guy is a danger to himself and others because he is entitled enough or clueless enough &#8212; a lot of the time it amounts to the same thing&#8211; to think everyone is going to watch out for HIM on the road. seriously? seriously? i&#8217;m not sure whether to expend my frustration on advocation of license testing <em>every year for people over 65 </em>or requiring everyone operating a PTW vehicle to take a FSCKING SAFETY RIDING CLASS.</p>
<p>hurp. then again, i saw a car with an ABATE sticker on  it the other day and that car was a shit driver too. wtf, i give up.</p>

<p>seriously? he&#8217;s yelling at her, in Greek, that she ran a red light &#8211; i don&#8217;t see any lights.</p>
<p>i don&#8217;t know if this could have been avoided, no matter how much attention he was paying.<br />
but i hope he <em>was</em>, because (a) in the whole scooter-vs-car contest, scooter always loses, and (b)  if that wreck was <em>his</em> fault, and he got up all yelling at her like that, her husband/boyfriend/girlfriend/whatever is gonna find that guy and beat the poop out of him just to teach him not to be such a douche.</p>
