I was blamed for the high cost of gasoline today.

I had my bicycle at the gas station across the street, putting air in the tires.

Guy in an H2, fills up his gas hog and starts yelling at me.
"You tree-huggers are costing me money!" 

I figures this guy has to be an FIB.
I was right.
Illinois plates, and "liberal hunting license" on back bumper.

I asked the dimwit why he was whining at me since I can't afford a car, and why he *HAD* to drive a fat gas-guzzling H2.

"I need it for my family!"

I remind him a minivan has more room and sucks less gas.

Guy tells me to **** off and roars off down the station's driveway.

I notice guy had a Tea Party window decal.

Today's GOP.

Oh my gosh... too funny.  I wish I could pump gas and watch an argument go down like that.  That might ease the pain at the pump just a tiny bit.

You can just feel the hate. I go to the corner gas station all the time with my husband.  I never see truth to power.   :lmao:

I never got one of those Tea Party decals either.    :mad:

Seriously DUmmies, there is a Writing Group at the Hive. Go there and get some pointers. Or maybe you have been there and this is the limit to DUers' creative writing chops. Who knows.

You know, it must be sooo frustrating for nutcase nadin.

She gets her ass handed to her every time she posts one of her wacky tales, but then ludicrous bouncy tales like this one are believed by every monkey at the DUmp.

The crackpot who made up this silly tale gets nothing but true believers, and she catches hell for reporting centipedes of ice in the shithole.

Cost of air machines is what now? 75 cents for five minutes (if that)?
They're also placed in a far off corner to be away from normal traffic.
Bike tire takes maybe three seconds to fill.
I haven't seen free air at a station in decades.
The bouncie just doesn't add up.
DUmmie is lying.

One local chain of convenience stores--Stewart's--still has free air at their shops that have gas.

What happened to free air?

I'll tell you. The aircompressors were usually mounted outside and people started stealing them. So stores put them inside and people started cutting the hoses off and stealing the hoses. So stores started keeping the hose inside and you had to ask for the hose and people started walking off them without returning them. Then the stores started charging a deposit to get the hose ....and people started pitching a fit because they got their feelings hurt. "WHAT? I don't look trustworthy?" So stores started letting others mount a "pay compressor" outside and the whole cycle started all over again...So the hell with "free air", your slack/flat tire isn't their problem any more. You leave it sitting out there in the way to long and they'll just call a tow truck.

Do I need to explain what happened to "free water" or an outside source of water?

52. Seriously dude, invest in a floor pump
Pumps at gas stations are designed for car tires, which are much larger than bike tires.



Taterhead actually felt the urge to explain a gas station pump is designed for car tires and that car tires are larger than bicycle tires.  :rotf:

We have 2 cars and a truck, 1 of the cars is a little compact, costs me over $40 to fill that damn thing up, when Bush was President I was paying around $15.

And Rebel, I sent you a PM, wasn't sure it went through though, the board was acting a little weird for me.

I have a battery-powered compressor at home.  Great for bikes, car tires, basketballs, what have you.  Cost all of $20 and has paid for itself several times over.  Amazing how that works.

Yep.  I was spending $25 a week before 2008.  Now it's more like $40, and the price of everything else has gone up with it.

The more likely explanation on why this DUmmie is riding a bike in the first place is not because he can not afford a car or mother gaia, it is because he probably lost his license due to being high/drunk on a Cheeto run and busted for DUI.

If that had "actually" happened, the guy in the H2 would have flattened the bike on the way out.

But still, 2 bongs for creativity.

Now, who here has ever heard someone in a Prius bitch at someone in an SUV?  Yeah, little more common.

Then again, I always laugh at the assholes who pass me in a Prius doing 80-85.  Do they not realize that NO car is "eco-friendly" at that speed?

Sounds like the bouncy template and official scoring guide needs to be published again.  I am not sure if the DUmmies are no longer tying or if they just don't know the rulez :rulez: (ftp://:rulez:)  This might be a good thread before the bouncy totally disintigrates as a genre.

9. Your tale is well composed and most absorbing my friend. n/t

The bouncy itself in my opinion is absurd and approaches parody.  Not as good as Dreamer Tatum's though. 

Here is another feature of the bouncy experience:

39. Ask him where your high-gas-price royalty check was...

...because you hadn't gotten it recently.

The DUmmies in their comments always suggest things to say to various characters in the story, even though all of this happened in the (literary) past.  It's like, "Oh!  I coulda gottem good if I'da just said that!"   :thatsright:

Here's another one:

Bike boy would live in perpetual panic attack hell here in my hood. There are quite a few Hummer3s in driveways.  They were made here.

And I don't think getting a sassy mouth with the owners would be a good idea. It's a 50/50 split of military and police driving them.

Go ahead, get yourself some DU cred, flap those gums to one of them, by all means, try it. You never know who you'll encounter behind the wheel. DUmmies.

Actually I'm guilty of screaming profanities at people who drive those cars.

Not because they drive a prius as such;  but because they need to get the f*** off my road because they clearly can't drive worth a s***.

I've never had a political discussion while filling up either. If there's someone else at the hi-flow diesel pump, the conversation usually goes something like :
"Mate"
"Mate"
"Gettin' expensive to put this stuff in aint it"
"Sure is. Glad this is a work vehicle".
"Well you have a good 'un then mate"

When I was driving a truck, I would see some of these shitbox cars, usually 20+ years old, usually "dogshit brown" in color, usually more rust than paint, usually driven by some pony-tailed, gray-haired prof looking type male, or some hairy. half-dressed (or Goth-dressed) feminist.

The cars had every available square inch of surface area covered with some moronic, left-wing nonsense on a bumper sticker.  I'm not sure if they were there to hold the car together, or to advertise the intelligence (or lack of it) of the driver, but it would have been less noticeable if it was towing a flashing neon sign, powered by a portable generator, with  BIG, BOLD letters saying:  "WARNING:  DUMBASS AHEAD!"

Silly primitive.  He wasn't complaining that you were costing him money at the pump, he was complaining that you were costing him money at the car wash, when he has to have the residual bicyclist bits pressure washed off of the undercarriage of his vehicle.  The H2 driver is welcome at my home anytime, and I'll pressure wash any bicyclist bits off for free.  I love to bicycle, but they simply don't belong on the road with cars. 

In my town, they've painted up a few roads with these:
