 Posted: 03/01/04 - 20:20 Post subject: Of all the things to get called for being a bike commuter
For the past three weeks, I'll get passed by a white Pontiac Vibe and the lady driving it will yell something out the window. The first time, I had no clue what she said, only that it was a woman's voice.
The second time, I could hear that what she said had two syllables. "Cute butt" maybe, or "Go Lance".  Who knew.
Today while I was waiting to turn left at a stop sign and she was getting ready to turn right, I finally heard what she was yelling and it was "Cheapskate". 
I just gave her a big smile, waved and kept on riding.

Me too. Being called a cheapskate just struck me as odd.

y'know PH - it's hard when people aren't as smart as you.
why i recall a time when black people weren't allowed to use the same washrooms as white folk. (not that it's the same thing - just further illustration of how dumb people are)
can't we all just get along?
