Another Episode Of...
Silly Motorists
or...
The Male of the Species
So at work today, the guy who bought me a Dew, and then messed with me last week when he found out was constantly flexing his muscles at me every time he saw me. Seriously, does he think I'm going to be impressed by this behavior?
Then, on my ride home from work today I hear a honk behind me and start thinking "here we go again, just another day on the road...", expecting someone to swear at me and wave the very special kind of signal in my face. Instead he pulls his truck around in front of me, signals me to follow him into a parking lot off the road, and shouts "Hey!" as I ignore his silly antics and keep riding.
A little later, he pulls up in the lane next to me and is like, "Hey! You wanna hitch a ride home?". To which I shout back, "No thanks!".
Now, for the meeting last night, part of that hour spent in the bathroom was getting rid of all my body and facial hair, so my body was smooth and completely free of hair. Though a bit grimy from work.
I have a feeling this guy was trying to pick me up...
Felt kind of nice, actually, if strange and kind of scary too. Definitely not what I've gotten used to on my ride home.
Curiously, last week, even though I hadn't removed all my hair yet, I could also swear a certain five letter word starting with b and rhyming with itch was included in the swearing at me by passing motorists.

Well...
Getting called that is a kinda sort of milemarker for progress;) To celebrate you should put on the Meredith Brooks song related to that word.
Oh Yeah I agree he was more than likely trying to pick you up.

Back-handed compliments.
It must cause some anguish to be called a bitch ... sort of a back-handed compliment illustrating your progress. Just how does a girl take this.
And yes, he was definitely trying to pick you up but the bigger question remains. Safety!'
I don't have to state the obvious.
Happy cycling.

I once gave some "bitch cards" to my sister-out-law. She's a bitch, and usually proud of it. They were playing cards, but the face of each had a different "you are probably a bitch if..." joke on it. I knew I'd either get a punch or she'd squeal and kiss me. Luckily it was the latter.

The B word
I used it in my first long work here, as Steph was requested by a typical UK motorist to 'use the ... cycle path"
Definitely a rite of passage, but a sucessful one!
Funny how the human mind works :-)
At first as I read this, I was thinking "Ew, stalker much?", but then as I thought about it, I realized that of course I'd think that because I can't stand men in "that" way :-P
Agree completely with Bev, safety is number one, but I will wish you cautious luck. I definitely think he was trying to impress you ;-)
Okay, I totally giggled at being called witch-with-a-b. When you notice things yourself, it's easy to dismiss them as seeing what you want to see. When OTHER people are seeing it, often complete strangers, then it's a heck of a lot harder to dismiss :-)
Good luck!
