I reckon everyone has pet hates, but when you act on the hate is when you show your darker side.
Cyclists hate cars and their drivers as well, despite that most on the forum drive cars.
Cyclists hate the "hun abuse paper" and when quoting from it almost always qualify there words with "we get it at work" as if even reading the weather constitutes a crossing to the "other side"
cyclists hate cyclists as well. Who gave them the title "Lycra Louts"? Why, there enemy the "motorists", because its derogatory and it stings. It is meant to.
But who came up with hipster, a flat bar, a bso, road warrior, bell-les boof, helmet-less hoon, I over took this numbie...Well I learned this stuff off this cyclists forum. So cyclist don't love each other that well either....There is actually not that much love to go around at all.
In every case of some wrong doing by others it is not enough to state the facts, like the rider did this or that, it's got to be, that "Lycra clad" dill, not the cyclist did this or that.
We don't get, "he rode on the foot path ." It's that dope "without a helmet" rode on the foot path.
Did you get cut off by a rider? No you didn't . It has a "hipster" on a "Bso.
Invariably it will be added that it was a goose with no legs and unfit and fat as well. ..... Like the bozos you are always passing.
And this is just cyclists talking about other cyclists.
So I reckon that hate is a wonderful thing to add to our descriptive vocabulary and should be fostered in all its forms. It appears that if you are not hated you don't exist. And that is not a good feeling.
When I was doing large construction work it was a known fact that if your name was not written on the dunny doors together with a few descriptive drawings....well you hadn't made it as a boss.
