my laid back mannerisms have ruined my life
my use of ambiguous terms & avoidance of pretense.
when i say, i rode my bike here, they think something different.
They think i rode a bicycle, so now i'm a bum.
what bothers me is the lack of imagination of people, for example, once i used
the word sterile to describe what i thought of a workplace, & the redneck
replies with "that means clean." uh, no not quite.
no wonder i stay at home now.

Reply #13873373 It's very difficult to find like
minded people
Almost impossible to do so in the workplace
Midwest is also a particular place. West coast people are a bit more laid back.
You would get huge respect for riding your motorcycle to work in the bay area or
melbourne australia for example. In the Midwest they would assume you are poor
or a weirdo.
People are like plants, they thrive in different environments

Reply #17982640 Really rubs me the wrong way when
cyclists, which means people riding bicycles, are called bikers. No.
Bikers are the full-patch members who ride 1000 km straight while hopped up on
crank.
