Oh, wow.
Went for a recreational road/trail ride with the fam. Mistimed/misjudged a big curb by my house while we were getting ready to go and endo-ed into the sidewalk, in full display of my kids and a couple different groups of neighbors who were gathering for Memorial Day.
Outwardly I am mostly unscathed and I shook it off like nothing happened at the time. But it all hurts now and I’m not sure my pride will ever fully recover.
Epic.
I unlocked my left foot from the pedal and fell over to the right with my right foot still locked in, in front of my beautiful next door neighbor.Quote:

This is pretty much how it always goes. I’ve never tipped over because I didn’t unclip when I’m by myself. Always at a busy intersection or when riding with a new group or something.Quote:

I calmly (given my irateness) explained how bogus this was to the adjuster (that took me 10+ calls to finally reach). He said “I’m sorry you feel that way but that’s how we calculate claims”
So. Any recommendations on bundled car/homeowners insurance?
sounds like a complaint to your insurance commissioner might be in order. Pay the difference between the shop's charge for the part and the cheapest online price, use the shop's part, then file your complaint.Quote:

This was after not contacting us for a month or two after we filed the claim. Eventually the car got fixed at no cost to us, I don't know if SF has decided to change their policies and practices about handling claims or if they've got a lot of inexperienced people working from home.
this.. they hate having complaints on file with state insurance boards. their license to operate in the state depends on them having a good record.
People who say “Happy Memorial Day” is annoying
It's only a matter of time before people will start saying happy 9/11 (or at least Patriot Day)
I just came here to rant the same thing. Glad to see I’m not the only one.Quote:

Memorial Day is the day we can't remember anything we did last Memorial Day. And the day we won't be able to remember next Memorial Day. And who knew St. Patrick is the patron saint of alcoholics and Cinco de Mayo is the day Mexico liberated the tequila factory.
Lot of fucking coughing on the plane I’m on.
re: the cottonwood discussion.
started painting my exterior doors of the house this weekend... just as I noticed it's the 1st day the cottonwoods have started to blow out their pollen.
Got one done and now I'm waiting on the others for a bit until it stops raining cotton
Firefox's new update.
I fuggin hate the cottonwood jizz. We get it a lot later here in VT. Only bright spot is this year I am gonna fill up the fire pit and toss a flaming torch in it.Quote:

“Vibing.” Most of the shit kids say doesn’t really annoy me, but for some reason this one does.
