Personally, I’m partial to Honeycrisp, Pink Ladies and Granny Smith… but we really need a dedicated thread for apples and ketchup, for all the folks who feel so strongly about it…

I know, I know, it’s in the topic description but it seems that there’s a consensus on BB that bicycles are the coolest invention in the world.
The wrath begins when cyclists start talking about motorists and city planning.

There is a crosswalk right in front of the building where I work: one-way street, three lanes of traffic. At least once a week while I’m patiently standing on the sidewalk waiting for the oncoming traffic to pass someone in the lane closest to me will come to a screeching halt and give me a little hand flappy signal to go ahead and cross. And they are utterly oblivious to the two lanes of speeding cars next to them.
I’m sure they think they’re being nice but they’re not. All they’re doing is slowing down both of us.

Exactly. Stop doing this and take your right of way.

A bit of friendly advice: If you’re a salesperson who’s dropped in to try and entice one of your customers to buy an addon to your product and the customer says, “I have a problem with the way what we’ve got now works…” DON’T laugh and say, “Yeah, a lot of customers have that same complaint. We think it’s just fine as it is.”

How does “a high rate of delta posistion” grab you?
Countries that don’t know what a roundabout is.
Same as high rate of speed, but more awkwardly worded.

That’s the US… sort of. In some parts of the US you can’t not know what a roundabout is (I’m looking at you, Boston). Others, such as the entire multi-state area in the middle of the country where I grew up, you will never ever see one.
This is even worse than an entire country not knowing what a roundabout is.

People are weird. This situation made me feel other people’s pain more deeply.

Therein lies the difference between folks who are compassionate/empathetic and those who are self absorbed enough to try to always make everything about them.

Complete tangent, but…
To me, “helmet hair” is what your head looks like after you’ve been wearing a helmet all day. Which, for me, is just about every day.

I think that was an intentional attempt to feign missing the obvious snark inherent in that gif.
But to address your tangent, that’s just one of those weird colloquialisms that varies according to gender.
For many women, ‘helmet hair’ often refers to the excessive amount of hair product required to maintain certain hairstyles.
Ie, if you were to touch a woman’s beehive or bouffant, it would be stiff and hard as a helmet from all the hairspray/mousse/gel.
For many men, helmet hair is more like what you described:

Lord, I wish my helmet hair looked that good. Kinda wish my regular hair looked that good, come to think of it. This fellow here is a better representation of what mine does:
And yeah, it kind of grinds my gears. Skull cap fixes it when it’s cold enough to wear one.
