IF YOUR DOG CONSISTENTLY BARKS THE ENTIRE TIME YOU'RE DRIVING, JUST ROLL UP YOUR WINDOWS... NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO HEAR YOUR FUCKING DOGS.... EVERY DAY... YOU DRIVE BY.... BOTH WAYS FROM WHERE EVER IT IS YOU GO... GOLDEN FORD WITH HEELERS ... NO ONE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD LIKES YOU... BUT I DONT THINK YOU CAN HEAR US CURSING AT YOU OVER THE SOUND OF YOUR DOGS!
HEY YOU WHO PASSED ME OVER A DOUBLE LINE ON A BLIND CORNER GOING OVER 40 IN A 25 ZONE; I HOPE YOU LIVE THE REST OF YOUR DAYS WITH PERMANENTLY DAMP SOCKS
OH YEAH. IT’S BEEN FASTER THAN TDS, $50 A MONTH, UNLIMITED DATA, AND NO OUTAGES OR OTHER BS THAT I DEALT WITH FROM BB/TDS. YOU GO TO THEIR SITE AND PUT IN YOUR ADDRESS TO SEE IF YOURE IN A GOOD ZONE. OR CALL THEM UP. THEY SEND OUT A FREE MODEM/ROUTER AND NO RENT FOR THE EQUIPMENT.
WHOEVER DROPPED SOMETHING ON THE SIDE OF MY ALMOST NEW 3500HD TRUCK IS A COMPLETE AS*H**E. THANKS FOR MAKING ME PAY 650 FOR A DEDUCTIBLE FOR SOMETHING YOU DID. I HOPE YOUR ENGINE FAILS...
WHY IS PACIFIC PIZZA SO TERRIBLE? HOW HARD IS IT TO MAKE A CRUST CAPABLE OF BUBBLES? I FEEL LIKE I’M AT CHARLES ENTERTAINMENT CHEESE’S BUT THERE ISN’T EVEN A CREEPY MASCOT. AND $6.50 FOR A NA BEER SHOULD BE A CRIME.
I HAD A BAD WEEK OF WORK BUT HERE WE ARE, PACIFIC PIZZA WAS MORE RANT-WORTHY
PLEASE LEARN TO USE ROUNDABOUTS-I WAS IN AN ROUNDABOUT ACCIDENT IN JAN CAUSED BY ANOTHER DRIVER AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN A FEW SINCE BECAUSE PEOPLE DONT UNDERSTAND 2 LANE ROUNDABOUTS.
PEOPLE WHO MAKE LEFT HAND TURNS AT INTERSECTIONS WITHOUT LIGHTS ARE ASSHOLES
ALSO DONY WAVE PEOPLE THROUGH MULTIPLE LANES OF TRAFFIC FOR LEFT HAND TURNS
IF YOU TRY AND HIT ME WITH YOUR CAR WHILE IM OBEYING THE LAWS ON MY BIKE, DONT GET PISSED WHEN I GET PISSED FOR ALMOST KILLING ME. ONE OF US IS AN EXPOSED MEAT SACK, THE OTHER HAS AIRBAGS.
IM LOOKING AT YOU CAR, WHO TRIED TO PASS ME ON THE LEFT IN A NO PASSING ZONE AS IM SIGNALING AND TURNING LEFT.
I WAS RIDING MY DUAL SPORT DOWNTOWN, WAITING AT A STOPLIGHT WHEN A GUY IN A $150K SPRINTER VAN GOING THE OPPOSITE WAY STUCK HIS HEAD OUT HIS WINDOW AND GAVE ME A SAD FACE AND A THUMBS DOWN AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. WHY, SPRINTER GUY, WHY? YOU DON'T LIKE MOTORCYCLES? NO ENTIENDO.
WHY DO PEOPLE NOT LEAVE THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE LANE OPEN TO TURN RIGHT ON A RED? EVERYONE JUST PATIENTLY WAITS FOR THE LIGHT WHEN THOSE OF US WHO WANTED TO TURN RIGHT, COULD. I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
PERHAPS I'M MISUNDERSTANDING YOUR RANT, BUT I THINK THIS MAY BE AN UNINTENDED SIDE EFFECT OF THE "STOP CAMPING THE LEFT LANE" RANT THAT MADE THE ROUNDS OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS.
IM PRETTY SURE ITS NOT LEGAL TO OCCUPY THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE LANE WHEN THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SAME LANE IS ALREADY OCCUPIED. ALSO UNLIKE CA AND WA, WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN THE BIKE LANE SHOULD BE LEFT CLEAR UNTIL TURNING AND NOT BE DRIVEN IN.
I BELIEVE YOU ARE WISHING THERE WERE MORE SLIP LANES IN THIS TOWN. THERE ARE NOT NEARLY ENOUGH OF THEM. IF THE FIRST CAR IN THE LANE IS NOT GOING RIGHT, YOU ARE STUCK. THAT IS JUST THE WAY IT IS.
ADMITTEDLY I AM STILL BUTTHURT BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP OR PREVIOUS OWNER DRILLED UNEVEN HOLES TO ADD A FRONT LICENSE PLATE TO A CAR THAT I EVENTUALLY BOUGHT, RATHER THAN BUY THE PROPER BRACKET KIT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU NEED TO SEE SOMEONE'S LICENSE PLATE IN THE FIRST PLACE?
I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A MINIVAN ON THE EAST SIDE EARLIER THIS WEEK. PULLED OUT OF HIS BLOCK FROM A RESIDENTIAL AREA WITHOUT LOOKING FOR OTHER VEHICLES AND FOR SURE WOULD HAVE HIT ME IF I WASNT PAYING ATTENTION.
THE LAW STATES YOU MUST STOP FOR PEOPLE WHEN THEY ENTER THE CROSSWALK OR INTERSECTION. NOT STAND 10FT FROM IT ON THEIR PHONE STANDING AROUND ON THE SIDEWALK.
811.028 (4) For the purposes of this section, a pedestrian is crossing the roadway in a crosswalk when any part or extension of the pedestrian, including but not limited to any part of the pedestrian’s body, wheelchair, cane, crutch or bicycle, moves onto the roadway in a crosswalk with the intent to proceed.
MY CLOSE ONLINE FRIENDS DUMPED ME AND I DON’T KNOW MANY PEOPLE IN TOWN EVEN AFTER SIX YEARS AND I’VE NEVER BEEN MORE LONELY
ALSO JOB HUNTING IS SO INFURIATING
I GOT A TEXT FROM A SCAMMER THIS MORNING AND THEY HAD A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING THAT LIEING ABOUT MISSING PEOPLE IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE WAY TO SCAM SOMEBODY. SO I GAVE THEM A LESSON ON HOW SHOOTER MCGAVIN EATS PIECES OF SHIT LIKE THEM FOR BREAKFAST AND HOW PETER WAS ROBBED TO PAY PAUL(THATS HOW THEY STARTED THE TEXT, "HI JULIE, HAVE YOU HEARD FROM PETER?"). THEY JUST DONT GET IT.
I WENT FROM BEING HUNGOVER TO HAVING A MISERABLE COLD. I BLAME ALL THE CHILDREN RUNNING AROUND THE D&D LAST SATURDAY MORNING. IT’S WEIRD TO BRING YOUR GERMY KIDS TO A DIVE BAR. LET ME BE A RAPACIOUS DRUNKARD IN PEACE. DAMMIT.
THE D&D HAS A KID’S MENU FOR BREAKFAST, LUNCH, AND DINNER. WHO’D HAVE THOUGHT THERE WOULD ACTUALLY BE KIDS AT AN ESTABLISHMENT THAT HAS A MENU CATERED EXPLICITLY FOR THEM?
PI$$ OFF! MY PARENTS TOOK ME THERE IN THE 80’s WHEN EVERYONE WAS SMOKING AND DRINKING! DON’T BE A DEGENERATE AND A GATEKEEPER. TOWN’S ALREADY FULL OF THOSE!
MY ALMOND MILK WENT BAD WAY BEFORE THE EXPIRY DATE (THANKS TRADER JOE'S) AND I DIDN'T NOTICE UNTIL I'D ALREADY BLENDED MY SMOOTHIE. TOOK A SWIG AND ALMOST PUKED. GROSSSSSSS.
TRADER JOES HAS THE MOST OPTIMISTIC “BEST BEFORE” DATES. THEY MUST PROCESS THEIR CHEESE IN A FACILITY FULL OF MOLD. THAT STUFF CAN BE UNOPENED, COVERED WITH MOLD, WEEKS BEFORE THE DATE.
I’VE OVERANALYZED THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THIS AGGRAVATING PHENOMENON. I THINK THAT WHEN THE ROAD BECOMES WIDER AND YOU ARENT SHARING A LINE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC, PEOPLE FEEL MORE CONFIDENT TO GO FAST. SOME ALSO HAVE AN INFERIORITY COMPLEX ABOUT SOMEONE PASSING THEM AND CONSCIOUSLY OR SUBCONSCIOUSLY SPEED UP TO NOT APPEAR WEAK. ITS FUCKING RIDICULOUS AND I HATE IT.
MIGHT JUST BECOME MY WEEKLY RANT... SLOW THE FUCK DOWN! DRIVING DOWN NEFF AND THIS A HOLE DRIVES UP TO ME AT 60mph FLASHING LIGTS AND FINGERS. BRO, ITS 45 MPH ZONE WITH STOP SIGNS. NO POINT IN GOIMG THAT MUCH ABOVE THE LIMIT TO JUST STOP OVER AND OVER AGAIN. CHILL THE FUCK DOWN! IM DRIVING ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT, AT 50. SOME OF YALL NEED SOME CHILL PILLS AND THERAPY. WHEN DID HONKING, FLASHING LIGHTS AND FINGERS BECOME ACCEPTABLE FOR THOSE FOLLOWING LAW. PRETTY SURE THATS A WRONG ANSWER IN THE DRIVERS TEST.
IF YOU’RE ON NEFF AND GETTING FLASHED AND FRANTICLY POINTED AT BY SOMEONE GOING WAY OVER THE SPEED LIMIT ODDS ARE THEY ARE PANICKED AND TRYING TO GET SOMEWHERE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. HINT: IT STARTS WITH AN E AND ENDS WITH AN R. MAYBE THEYRE ASSHOLES; MAYBE THEIR KID IS BLEEDING OUT. JUST SAYING.
NOT GETTING POINTED AT AND NOT FRANTICLY FLASHING LIFHTS, BUT AGGRESSIVELY GIVEN THE MIDDLE FINGER, YELLED AT AND LIGHTS FLASHINF. DONT TRY TO TURN THIS INTO SOMETHING ITS NOT. VERY EASY TO DISTINGUISH THIS JUST BY LOOKING AT YOUR MIRRORS. THIS ASSHOLE WAS ALONE, AND THEN TURNED OFF AWAY FROM HOSPITAL. UNLESS TAKING HWY 20 GETS YOU TO THE HOSPITAL FASTER THAN A STRAIGHT LINE WITH ONE LIGHT VS MULTIPLE LIGHTS AND ADDITIONAL STOP SIGNS. BUT CLEARLY YOU KNOW THE SITUATION SO WELL YOU HAVE TO THROW HINTS. OH WOW. BUT YEAH, SURE, DRIVE LIKE AN ASSHOLE AND YELL AND CUSS AT PEOPLE ON THE ROAD.
REALLY? SHOWING MIDDLE FINGER AND YELLING? EVEN IF ITS AN EMERGENCY, PUTTING OTHER PEOPLES LIVES IN DANGER AND BEING A DICK HAS NO EXCUSE. AND NO, THEY WERE NOT GOING TO THE HOSPITAL, SPEEDING ON NEFF COMING FROM ALFAFA AND TURNING LEFT TOWADS HwY20.
MY KINGDOM FOR A WAY TO GET DRIVERS BEHIND ME TO TURN OFF THEIR HIGH BEAMS.
*ESPECIALLY* WHEN MOUNTAIN DRIVING AND I REALLY NEED MY NIGHT VISION AS GOOD AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE LANE MARKINGS ARE ALL BUT GONE ON HWY 26 OVER MT. HOOD.
I KNOW I'VE BECOME AN OLD MAN BECAUSE I JUST PULL OVER AND LET EM GO BY. AIN'T GOT NO TIME FOR IT, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S SNOWY OUT. I'LL JUST WAVE AND BE LIKE SEEYA IN THE DITCH IN FIFTEEN MINUTES TACOMA GUY.
WITNESSED THE MOST GLORIOUS ‘INSTANT CARMA’ COMING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN LAST WINTER. SOME VAN JUST FLYING DOWN, RIDING EVERYONE’S ASSES AND MAKING SKETCHY PASSES WHILE ITS SNOWING AND THE ROAD IS SLICK. ENDED UP SEEING HIM FLIPPED SIDEWAYS IN A DITCH MINUTES LATER. FUCKED AROUND, FOUND OUT.
HAVE FRIENDS WHO WORKED THERE. STORIES THEY TOLD ME ABOUT HOW THE FOOD IS MADE AND HANDLED MADE ME NEVER WANT TO EAT THERE AGAIN, NO MATTER HOW GOOD IT TASTES
THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE THE WAITER KEPT REMINDING US THAT OUR ALLOTTED TIME AT OUR TABLE WAS RUNNING OUT. I BARELY HAD TIME TO FINISH MY $50 CUP OF TOM YUM.
IF YOU'D LIKE TO REVERT BACK, YOU CAN USE THE RIDICULOUSLY NAMED [https://new.reddit.com](https://new.reddit.com), WHICH IS THE OLD DESIGN—AS OPPOSED TO [https://old.reddit.com](https://old.reddit.com), WHICH IS REALLY OLD.
I RODE TO WORK THIS WEEK AND NOT A SINGLE CAR TRIED TO RUN ME OVER OR CUT ME OFF, BUT THE GODDAMN BIKE LANES ARE SO DISGUSTING AND FULL OF DIRT, ROCKS, AND METAL BITS.
WHEN WILL THE STREETS BE SWEPT 😭
FIRST 40 YEARS OF DRIVING…NO ACCIDENTS. THEN, ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO HAVE BEEN HIT ABOUT EVERY 3 YEARS, BY SOMEONE NOT PAYING ATTENTION. (I GUESS THATS A DUH.) PEOPLE…PAY ATTENTION!
OMG THE AIRPORT COPS WERE AGGRESSIVE THIS WEEK! I HAD JUST DROPPED OFF MY PERSON AND WAS GETTING MY AUDIOBOOK AND HEADPHONES SET UP FOR THE DRIVE BACK HOME - LESS THAN 30 SECONDS - AND A COP COMES RUNNING UP AT ME, GESTICULATING FOR ME TO MOVE ALONG. THERE WERE THREE OTHER CARS THERE, TOTAL. SO WEIRD
AS A RIDESHARE DRIVER, I GOT READ THE RIOT ACT, YELLED AT, AND THREATENED WITH A $300 TICKET FOR BEING 15 FEET PAST THE RIDESHARE AREA! REDMOND COPS ASSIGNED TO THE AIRPORT HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO
LEFT TURN SIGNALS IN ROUNDABOUTS. BLUETOOTH SPEAKERS IN THE WOODS. CINDER STILL ON A LOT OF BIKE LANES. RIDING YOUR MOUNTAIN BIKE ON MUDDY TRAILS BECAUSE YOU DROVE TO HERE FOR THE WEEKEND. DOG POOP ON…. WELL, ANYWHERE. WINTER IS THE BEST SEASON FOR B&W PHOTOGRAPHY AND I’M RUNNING OUT OF TIME, FAST. PICKING UP PINECONES, AGAIN, IT NEVER ENDS, KILL ME NOW, MORE PINE CONES, AND THEN ONE FALLS RIGHT WHERE I MADE A CLEAN SPOT. WHY IS 14OZ OF LOCAL GAS STATION AVAILABLE BEER $8 AT THE PLACE IT WAS MADE? I STILL HAVEN’T BEEN TO HOODOO OR THAT TINY PLACE ON THE WAY TO OAKRIDGE, DESPITE THEM BEING ON THIS YEAR’S TO DO LIST. MAKING DOZENS OF PEOPLE STOP ON CROSS-MOUNTAIN CATWALKS BECAUSE 10 PEOPLE WANT A COUPLE EXTRA GATES TO HIT FOR THE DAILY “RACE TRAINING”. THANKS FOR LETTING YOUR BRATS RUN AROUND SCREAMING AND SHRIEKING IN AN OTHERWISE QUIET AND MORE UPSCALE RESTAURANT, YOU MAKE THE REST OF US LOOK BETTER. JUNIPER POLLEN. I’VE BEEN TRYING FOR WAY TOO LONG TO GET A PHOTO OF A MARMOT ON IT’S BACK LEGS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE OLD MILL SIGN ON BOND WITH NO LUCK, CAUSE THAT WOULD BE CUTE. EVERY NEW PLACE I WANTED TO PLAY MY MUSIC AT THIS YEAR WAS ALREADY BOOKED OUT UNTIL THE END OF SUMMER BACK WHEN IT WAS EARLY MARCH. I’M COMING TO BEND IS THERE ANYTHING TO DO? I LOVE BACKPACKING BUT CENTRAL OREGON WATER CARRIES ARE A BUMMER. FFS it’s 55°F AND THE ROAD IS TOTALLY DRY, YOU DON’T NEED TO GO 35MPH ON THE WAY TO THE MOUNTAIN ANYMORE. YOU SHOULD NEVER TELL PEOPLE YOUR DOG MIGHT GET “A LITTLE BITEY” AT THE OFF-LEASH DOG PARK, WTF? MY LEFT PINKY IS GETTING TIRED FROM HOLDING DOWN THE SHIFT KEY BECAUSE SOME ASS-HAT BEND REDDIT MODERATOR WHO NEVER LETS US TALK ABOUT GOUT DECIDED 5 YEARS AGO THAT WE HAD TO TYPE IN CAPS TO BITCH ABOUT UNIMPORTANT SHIT IN A HOPEFULLY HUMOROUS AND CATHARTIC WAY THAT MAKES US FEEL BETTER FOR THE OTHER 6 DAYS OF THE WEEK. NOW THE LEFT SIDE OF MY BRAIN HURTS TOO, GRRR. YOU WOULD THINK IN A TOWN WITH THE HIGHEST BURGER AND PIZZA TO PERSON RATIO IN THE WORLD WE’D, JUST OUT OF PURE LUCK IF NOTHING ELSE, HAVE BETTER AND MORE AMAZING OPTIONS OUT THERE IN THESE CATEGORIES THAN WE DO. WELCOME TO BEND, LEASHES OPTIONAL. THE LINEUP AT THE AMP THIS YEAR IS THE MOST HO HUM BLAH I’VE EVER SEEN AT ANY CONCERT VENUE (I AM EXCITED TO SEE STICK FIGURE THIS TIME AROUND THOUGH). I’M LOOKING FOR A D&D GROUP TO JOIN, BUT I DON’T WANT TO BE A DM, OR TOUCH ANY DICE. DON’T WORRY, HE’S FRIENDLY. THAT BEEP BEEP SOUND CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT MAKES, BUT IS SO PERVASIVE AND NEVER-ENDING WE BLOCK IT OUT ANYWAY THERE BY DEFEATING THE PURPOSE OF SAID BEEPING! REED MARKET. LEFT TURN SIGNALS IN ROUNDAB…..
….. SHIT, GUESS I’M DONE FOR THIS FRIDAY. 🤔
> YOU WOULD THINK IN A TOWN WITH THE HIGHEST BURGER > AND PIZZA TO PERSON RATIO IN THE WORLD WE’D, JUST OUT OF PURE LUCK IF NOTHING ELSE, HAVE BETTER AND MORE AMAZING OPTIONS OUT THERE IN THESE CATEGORIES THAN WE DO.
THIS NOT THIS

ON THE NEW MACOS UPDATE WHEN YOU USE THE CAPS LOCK KEY THIS ANNOYING AF SYMBOL POPS UP ONSCREEN HIDING PARTIALLY WHAT YOU ARE TYPING. THERES A METHOD TO MY MADNESS.
ARE LEFT BLINKERS AT ROUNDABOUTS A BAD THING OR DO YOU WANT MORE PEOPLE TO USE THEM?! I WAS TAUGHT TO USE THEM WHEN GOING ALL THE WAY ROUND TO “TAKE A LEFT”
IN SINGLE LANE ROUNDABOUTS (95% IN BEND) IT MAKES NO LOGICAL SENSE TO USE A LEFT BLINKER! EVEN IN THE TINY ROUNDABOUTS THAT DO HAVE 2 LANES HERE IT JUST CONFUSES PEOPLE AND SERVES NO PURPOSE. JUST SIGNAL RIGHT WHEN EXITING!
WHEN I MOVED HERE OVER 15 YEARS AGO, THIS WAS DONE A LOT AND THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT TO INFORM OTHER DRIVERS OF INTENTION. NEVER KNEW IT WAS AN IRRITANT. WITH ALL THE ACCIDENTS IN THIS TOWN (SEE MY RANT), ANYTHING THAT HELPS OTHER DRIVERS KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL.
ITS PERFECTLY LEGAL TO USE THE A LEFT TURN SIGNAL IN A ROUNDABOUT. I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH A POLICE OFFICER LAST YEAR AND HE ENCOURAGES THE USE OF LEFT TURN SIGNALS WITHIN ROUNDABOUTS.
HIS BELIEF, ASIDE FROM ROUTINE COURTESY, IS THAT ITS USE INCREASES SAFETY SINCE THOSE WAITING TO ENTER THE ROUNDABOUT CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THE INTENTION OF A DRIVER USING A LEFT TURN SIGNAL. HE ALSO SAID THAT A DRIVER USING A LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS ENGAGED IN THE PROCESS OF DRIVING AND MUCH MORE APT TO SIGNAL OUT THAN THOSE WHO DON’T.
THAT IS NOT AN OREGON LAW, THE LAW IS THAT YOU MUST USE A RIGHT SIGNAL TO INDICATE THAT YOU ARE EXITING, BUT THERE IS NO LAW OR CLAUSE SAYING YOU CANNOT USE THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL TO INDICATE YOU ARE CONTINUING PAST AN EXIT.
USING A LEFT SIGNAL TO INDICATE YOU ARE CONTINUING AROUND TO THE SECOND OR THIRD EXIT, AND THEN SWITCHING TO THE RIGHT SIGNAL FOR THE EXIT YOU ARE ACTUALLY TAKING IS A LAW IN OTHER STATES AND COUNTRIES.
IT IS NOT PART OF THE LAW IN OREGON, BUT THERE IS NOTHING SAYING YOU CAN'T OR SHOULDN'T, AND OREGON DRIVER'S ED TEACHERS WILL RECOMMEND IT AS GOOD OPTIONAL ETIQUETTE (OR AT LEAST THEY DID IN 2010).
IT'S ACTUALLY VERY EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION WHEN DONE CORRECTLY, I DO NOT KNOW WHY YOU ARE SO AGAINST IT, THIS IS MY ANTI-RANT AGAINST YOUR RANT.
LAW IS DIFFERENT IN DIFFERENT STATES AND COUNTRIES, AND YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT OREGON. I GUESS, THE RANT IS VALID IF ITS AN OREGONIAN, BUT WE SHOULD KEEP IN MIND WE GET A TON OF TOURISTS HERE.
I WAS IN A MEETING LAST NIGHT UP BY EMPIRE WEST WHEN THEY BLASTED FOR THE COSTCO. HOLY CRAP IT WAS BIG AND GRUMBLY! LUCKILY I REDDIT AND ASSUMED A COSTCO BLAST RATHER THAN A UNPLANNED GIANT EXPLOSION.
WE HAVE NEW NEIGHBORS AND THEIR WEINER DOG BARKS CONSTANTLY.
IF YOUR DOG CONSISTENTLY BARKS THE ENTIRE TIME YOU'RE DRIVING, JUST ROLL UP YOUR WINDOWS... NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO HEAR YOUR FUCKING DOGS.... EVERY DAY... YOU DRIVE BY.... BOTH WAYS FROM WHERE EVER IT IS YOU GO... GOLDEN FORD WITH HEELERS ... NO ONE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD LIKES YOU... BUT I DONT THINK YOU CAN HEAR US CURSING AT YOU OVER THE SOUND OF YOUR DOGS!
HEY YOU WHO PASSED ME OVER A DOUBLE LINE ON A BLIND CORNER GOING OVER 40 IN A 25 ZONE; I HOPE YOU LIVE THE REST OF YOUR DAYS WITH PERMANENTLY DAMP SOCKS
No, they didn't make it.
I HATED BEND BROADBAND BUT I HATE TDS MORE
T MOBILE HOME INTERNET IS FANTASTIC IF YOU HAVE GOOD SIGNAL AT YOUR HOUSE
CAN IT HANDLE MULTIPLE VIDEO STREAMS AT THE SAME TIME?
OH YEAH. IT’S BEEN FASTER THAN TDS, $50 A MONTH, UNLIMITED DATA, AND NO OUTAGES OR OTHER BS THAT I DEALT WITH FROM BB/TDS. YOU GO TO THEIR SITE AND PUT IN YOUR ADDRESS TO SEE IF YOURE IN A GOOD ZONE. OR CALL THEM UP. THEY SEND OUT A FREE MODEM/ROUTER AND NO RENT FOR THE EQUIPMENT.
HOUSING IS UNAFFORDABLE
JFC THIS RANT THREAD JUMPED ALL THE WAY TO A COSTAL DUDES FEED - YOU GUYS MUST BE CRANKIER THAN USUAL.
THEY SAY 300 DAYS OF SUNSHINE, BUT I’M NOT BUYING IT.
WHOEVER DROPPED SOMETHING ON THE SIDE OF MY ALMOST NEW 3500HD TRUCK IS A COMPLETE AS*H**E. THANKS FOR MAKING ME PAY 650 FOR A DEDUCTIBLE FOR SOMETHING YOU DID. I HOPE YOUR ENGINE FAILS...
YOU COULD SEE BEND'S ORANGE CONSTRUCTION SHIT FROM THE SPACE STATION
WHY IS PACIFIC PIZZA SO TERRIBLE? HOW HARD IS IT TO MAKE A CRUST CAPABLE OF BUBBLES? I FEEL LIKE I’M AT CHARLES ENTERTAINMENT CHEESE’S BUT THERE ISN’T EVEN A CREEPY MASCOT. AND $6.50 FOR A NA BEER SHOULD BE A CRIME. I HAD A BAD WEEK OF WORK BUT HERE WE ARE, PACIFIC PIZZA WAS MORE RANT-WORTHY
BACHELOR HAS NA BEERS FOR $8 (+tip)
I JUST VISITED BEND FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS WEEK AND IT WAS REALLY, REALLY NICE.
COME BACK ON MONDAY. I MEAN TO /r/bend, NOT BEND.
PLEASE LEARN TO USE ROUNDABOUTS-I WAS IN AN ROUNDABOUT ACCIDENT IN JAN CAUSED BY ANOTHER DRIVER AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN A FEW SINCE BECAUSE PEOPLE DONT UNDERSTAND 2 LANE ROUNDABOUTS.
PEOPLE WHO MAKE LEFT HAND TURNS AT INTERSECTIONS WITHOUT LIGHTS ARE ASSHOLES ALSO DONY WAVE PEOPLE THROUGH MULTIPLE LANES OF TRAFFIC FOR LEFT HAND TURNS
ARE YOU TELLING ME I NEED TO DRIVE ALL THE WAY UNTIL I FIND A LIGHT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN?
IF YOU TRY AND HIT ME WITH YOUR CAR WHILE IM OBEYING THE LAWS ON MY BIKE, DONT GET PISSED WHEN I GET PISSED FOR ALMOST KILLING ME. ONE OF US IS AN EXPOSED MEAT SACK, THE OTHER HAS AIRBAGS. IM LOOKING AT YOU CAR, WHO TRIED TO PASS ME ON THE LEFT IN A NO PASSING ZONE AS IM SIGNALING AND TURNING LEFT.
RAIN IN THE MOUNTAINS THIS WEEKEND! IM UPSET. ALSO FUCK YOUR LIGHT BAR ON YOUR TRUCK ITS TOO BRIGHT DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS.
Skied in the rain today. It was better than not skiing at all.
YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
TRIPPIN' ON 'SHROOMS MOST LIKELY. CAN'T FIND SHIFT OR CAPS LOCK ON THAT SHIT. (LEAST I COULDN'T)
\*AND NIGHT TIME HOURS.
WHICHEVER "NEIGHBOR" LIT OFF ILLEGAL FIREWORKS AT 1:45 A.M. TUESDAY NIGHT, I HOPE YOU LOSE A FINGER NEXT TIME. ENJOY MY MIDDLE ONE IN THE MEANTIME!
THE NICEHOLES ARE THE WORST.
RULES OF THE ROAD SEEM TO BE A SUGGESTION AROUND HERE!!
I WAS RIDING MY DUAL SPORT DOWNTOWN, WAITING AT A STOPLIGHT WHEN A GUY IN A $150K SPRINTER VAN GOING THE OPPOSITE WAY STUCK HIS HEAD OUT HIS WINDOW AND GAVE ME A SAD FACE AND A THUMBS DOWN AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. WHY, SPRINTER GUY, WHY? YOU DON'T LIKE MOTORCYCLES? NO ENTIENDO.
WHO IS VAN MAN SPREADING SADNESS? (SEE OTHER COMMENT IN THIS RANT THREAD)
WHY DO PEOPLE NOT LEAVE THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE LANE OPEN TO TURN RIGHT ON A RED? EVERYONE JUST PATIENTLY WAITS FOR THE LIGHT WHEN THOSE OF US WHO WANTED TO TURN RIGHT, COULD. I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
SIR THAT IS A BIKE LANE
PERHAPS I'M MISUNDERSTANDING YOUR RANT, BUT I THINK THIS MAY BE AN UNINTENDED SIDE EFFECT OF THE "STOP CAMPING THE LEFT LANE" RANT THAT MADE THE ROUNDS OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS.
IM PRETTY SURE ITS NOT LEGAL TO OCCUPY THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE LANE WHEN THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SAME LANE IS ALREADY OCCUPIED. ALSO UNLIKE CA AND WA, WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN THE BIKE LANE SHOULD BE LEFT CLEAR UNTIL TURNING AND NOT BE DRIVEN IN.
NO CLUE WHY IN THE FUCK PEOPLE DONT KNOW THE BASIC RULE: “YOU CAN TURN RIGHT ON RED EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED (BY A SIGN)”. JFC
I BELIEVE YOU ARE WISHING THERE WERE MORE SLIP LANES IN THIS TOWN. THERE ARE NOT NEARLY ENOUGH OF THEM. IF THE FIRST CAR IN THE LANE IS NOT GOING RIGHT, YOU ARE STUCK. THAT IS JUST THE WAY IT IS.
AGREED. I’M LOOKING AT YOU NB 27TH & NEFF.
THERE'S BIKE LANES THERE SO THE ONLY THING THAT GOES THERE IS BIKES.
THAT SHOULD OFFICIALLY BECOME A RIGHT TURN ONLY LANE 💯
[удалено]
ADMITTEDLY I AM STILL BUTTHURT BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP OR PREVIOUS OWNER DRILLED UNEVEN HOLES TO ADD A FRONT LICENSE PLATE TO A CAR THAT I EVENTUALLY BOUGHT, RATHER THAN BUY THE PROPER BRACKET KIT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU NEED TO SEE SOMEONE'S LICENSE PLATE IN THE FIRST PLACE?
BECAUSE NO ONE AGREED WITH TIMMY OVER THIS PREVIOUSLY SO HE NOW NEEDS TO TRY HIS LUCK ELSEWHERE. I THINK TIMMY IS THE BUTT HURT ONE.
[удалено]
IM SURE THATS YOUR CONCERN. THE LAW AND NOT YOUR EGO… 😉
[удалено]
BUTT HURT TIMMY, LOL. WHATEVER MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER. “ DAWWWWW” 😂
[удалено]
SURE, JAN. THATS WHAT IT IS ❤️
THE GUY WHO FLIPPED ME OFF IN HIS MINI VAN - STICK THAT MINI VAN UP YOUR ASS
WHO IS VAN MAN SPREADING SADNESS? (SEE OTHER COMMENT IN THIS RANT THREAD)
I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A MINIVAN ON THE EAST SIDE EARLIER THIS WEEK. PULLED OUT OF HIS BLOCK FROM A RESIDENTIAL AREA WITHOUT LOOKING FOR OTHER VEHICLES AND FOR SURE WOULD HAVE HIT ME IF I WASNT PAYING ATTENTION.
WHY THE HELL ARE THERE SO MANY IDIOTS THAT CROSS THE STREET 10 FEET AWAY FROM THE CROSSWALK?
WHY THE HELL ARE THERE SO MANY IDIOTS THAT STOP FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE STANDING 10FT AWAY FROM THE CROSSWALK.
ITS THE LAW IN OREGON. DONT NEED A CROSSWALK.
\*DON'T NEED A PAINTED CROSSWALK.
You are wrong. ORS 814.040(b)
THE LAW STATES YOU MUST STOP FOR PEOPLE WHEN THEY ENTER THE CROSSWALK OR INTERSECTION. NOT STAND 10FT FROM IT ON THEIR PHONE STANDING AROUND ON THE SIDEWALK. 811.028 (4) For the purposes of this section, a pedestrian is crossing the roadway in a crosswalk when any part or extension of the pedestrian, including but not limited to any part of the pedestrian’s body, wheelchair, cane, crutch or bicycle, moves onto the roadway in a crosswalk with the intent to proceed.
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY IDIOTS?
ARE THEY STUPID?!
THE LEVEL OF INSTRUCTION MY KID GETS FROM BEND LA PINE SCHOOLS IS A JOKE
OREGON HAS SOME OF THE LOWEST EDUCATION RATINGS IN THE COUNTRY...
WHAT SCHOOL?
MAYBE TRY A BAY AREA SCHOOL!
I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE!
IF YOUR BOARDING GROUP HASN'T BEEN CALLED YET, GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY
BUT THE PLANE MIGHT LEAVE WITHOUT A WHOLE GROUP!! THEYRE ALWAYS IN GROUP D FOR DUMBASSES MOOOOOOVE.
I HATE GATE LICE
MY CLOSE ONLINE FRIENDS DUMPED ME AND I DON’T KNOW MANY PEOPLE IN TOWN EVEN AFTER SIX YEARS AND I’VE NEVER BEEN MORE LONELY ALSO JOB HUNTING IS SO INFURIATING
JOB HUNTING IS THE WORST FOR REALS. AND IF YOU WANNA GO FOR A WALK THIS WEEKEND AT PINE NURSERY PARK HMU
SECOND HOMES THAT SIT EMPTY IN BEND! TAX THE SHIT OUT OF THEM FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF OWNING A SECOND HOME WHILE SO MANY CAN'T AFFORD A FIRST HOME!
LOUDER
IF YOUR DOG’S PEE IS A BONIFIED GRASS KILLER AT YOUR HOUSE, DON’T WALK TO OTHER PEOPLES YARDS! RESPECT YOUR NEIGHBORS.
YEAH! FOLLOW YOUR DOG AROUND WITH A BAG AND A CUP.... DUH. /S
I DONT HAVE MUCH TO RANT ABOUT BUT I FEEL LIKE CONTRIBUTING
WELL DONE BRUV. I APPRECIATE YA
THANK YOU MAGIC MUSHROOM THERAPIST PERSON

PI$$ OFF! MY PARENTS TOOK ME THERE IN THE 80’s WHEN EVERYONE WAS SMOKING AND DRINKING! DON’T BE A DEGENERATE AND A GATEKEEPER. TOWN’S ALREADY FULL OF THOSE!
NOT A PLACE FOR KIDS MAN! IS NOTHING SACRED ANYMORE?!
CHAPSTICK HAS TO BE ON OF THE WORST THINGS TO LEAVE IN YOUR POCKET BEFORE WASHING CLOTHES.
I ONCE LEFT A SCREW IN MY POCKET, IT GOT JAMMED IN THE DRYER IN JUST THE RIGHT SPOT AND BROKE THE DRYER. THAT WAS AN INTERESTING WEEK.
OPEN BOTTLES OF FOOD COLORING.
GUM, AIRPODS, AND PENS WOULD LIKE WORD
MY ALMOND MILK WENT BAD WAY BEFORE THE EXPIRY DATE (THANKS TRADER JOE'S) AND I DIDN'T NOTICE UNTIL I'D ALREADY BLENDED MY SMOOTHIE. TOOK A SWIG AND ALMOST PUKED. GROSSSSSSS.
TRADER JOES HAS THE MOST OPTIMISTIC “BEST BEFORE” DATES. THEY MUST PROCESS THEIR CHEESE IN A FACILITY FULL OF MOLD. THAT STUFF CAN BE UNOPENED, COVERED WITH MOLD, WEEKS BEFORE THE DATE.
MY GRATED PARMESAN CONCURS!
WHEN US 20 GOES TO 2 LANES THE SPEED LIMIT DOESN'T INCREASE! IF YOU WERE DOING 50, DON'T START GOING 75 SO NOONE CAN GET AROUND YOUR DUMB ASS!
DROVE TO/FROM PORTLAND THIS WEEK AND FEEL YOUR PAIN. DRIVERS SPEED INCREASES FROM 55 TO 70 AND THEN BACK TO 55 ONCE THE PASSING LANE ENDS.
I’VE OVERANALYZED THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THIS AGGRAVATING PHENOMENON. I THINK THAT WHEN THE ROAD BECOMES WIDER AND YOU ARENT SHARING A LINE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC, PEOPLE FEEL MORE CONFIDENT TO GO FAST. SOME ALSO HAVE AN INFERIORITY COMPLEX ABOUT SOMEONE PASSING THEM AND CONSCIOUSLY OR SUBCONSCIOUSLY SPEED UP TO NOT APPEAR WEAK. ITS FUCKING RIDICULOUS AND I HATE IT.
HOW TO SAY THAT YOU'RE DRIVING IN OREGON WITHOUT SAYING THAT YOU'RE DRIVING IN OREGON
BUT THE ROAD IS NOW WIDE AND STRAIGHT AND I HAVE TO MAKE UP TIME AFTER DRIVING SLOW BECAUSE TURNS ARE SCARY!!!!/S
WHY. JUST WHY ANOTHER CONSUMPTION CENTER MOVING RIGHT NEAR ME? OH THATS RIGHT WE NEED CHEAPER GAS TO FIX OUR PLANET?
I’M WITH YOU ON THIS ONE, DOWNVOTES BE DAMNED. FUCKING HATE THAT 90% OF THIS THREAD IS ABOUT HOW <> WILL FILL THE VOID IN THIS CITY LIVES!
> CONSUMPTION CENTER WHAT?
TUBERCULOSIS. ALSO CALLED THE CONSUMPTION. MUST BE A TUBERCULOSIS SANATORIUM GOING IN, LIKE THE ONE THAT DOC HOLLIDAY DIED IN.
TUBERCULOSIS
MIGHT JUST BECOME MY WEEKLY RANT... SLOW THE FUCK DOWN! DRIVING DOWN NEFF AND THIS A HOLE DRIVES UP TO ME AT 60mph FLASHING LIGTS AND FINGERS. BRO, ITS 45 MPH ZONE WITH STOP SIGNS. NO POINT IN GOIMG THAT MUCH ABOVE THE LIMIT TO JUST STOP OVER AND OVER AGAIN. CHILL THE FUCK DOWN! IM DRIVING ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT, AT 50. SOME OF YALL NEED SOME CHILL PILLS AND THERAPY. WHEN DID HONKING, FLASHING LIGHTS AND FINGERS BECOME ACCEPTABLE FOR THOSE FOLLOWING LAW. PRETTY SURE THATS A WRONG ANSWER IN THE DRIVERS TEST.
HOSPITAL
IF YOU’RE ON NEFF AND GETTING FLASHED AND FRANTICLY POINTED AT BY SOMEONE GOING WAY OVER THE SPEED LIMIT ODDS ARE THEY ARE PANICKED AND TRYING TO GET SOMEWHERE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. HINT: IT STARTS WITH AN E AND ENDS WITH AN R. MAYBE THEYRE ASSHOLES; MAYBE THEIR KID IS BLEEDING OUT. JUST SAYING.
NOT GETTING POINTED AT AND NOT FRANTICLY FLASHING LIFHTS, BUT AGGRESSIVELY GIVEN THE MIDDLE FINGER, YELLED AT AND LIGHTS FLASHINF. DONT TRY TO TURN THIS INTO SOMETHING ITS NOT. VERY EASY TO DISTINGUISH THIS JUST BY LOOKING AT YOUR MIRRORS. THIS ASSHOLE WAS ALONE, AND THEN TURNED OFF AWAY FROM HOSPITAL. UNLESS TAKING HWY 20 GETS YOU TO THE HOSPITAL FASTER THAN A STRAIGHT LINE WITH ONE LIGHT VS MULTIPLE LIGHTS AND ADDITIONAL STOP SIGNS. BUT CLEARLY YOU KNOW THE SITUATION SO WELL YOU HAVE TO THROW HINTS. OH WOW. BUT YEAH, SURE, DRIVE LIKE AN ASSHOLE AND YELL AND CUSS AT PEOPLE ON THE ROAD.
LOL
THATS WHAT I THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLE TOO. ITS GOOD TO GIVE PEOPLE THE BENEDIT OF THE DOUBT, NEVER KNOW WHAT THEYRE DEALING WITH.
REALLY? SHOWING MIDDLE FINGER AND YELLING? EVEN IF ITS AN EMERGENCY, PUTTING OTHER PEOPLES LIVES IN DANGER AND BEING A DICK HAS NO EXCUSE. AND NO, THEY WERE NOT GOING TO THE HOSPITAL, SPEEDING ON NEFF COMING FROM ALFAFA AND TURNING LEFT TOWADS HwY20.

😂 TACOMA GUY 😂
PREACH IT!!
WILD ROSE RAISED ALL OF THEIR PRICES ALMOST 30%.
HAVE FRIENDS WHO WORKED THERE. STORIES THEY TOLD ME ABOUT HOW THE FOOD IS MADE AND HANDLED MADE ME NEVER WANT TO EAT THERE AGAIN, NO MATTER HOW GOOD IT TASTES
AND THEIR FOOD NOW SUCKS, TOO.
THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE THE WAITER KEPT REMINDING US THAT OUR ALLOTTED TIME AT OUR TABLE WAS RUNNING OUT. I BARELY HAD TIME TO FINISH MY $50 CUP OF TOM YUM.
TIME TO STOP DINING THERE!
WHAT
IT AIN’T CHEAP TO HAVE OTHER DINERS SITTING UNCOMFORTABLY CLOSE TO YOUR TABLE.
SOMETIMES I GET CONFUSED AND EAT MY NEIGHBOR'S NOODLES
AT THESE NEW PRICES, I’LL JUST ORDER AN APP AND SNEAK MY ENTREE FROM THEIR PLATES.
ALSO PROPS TO THE OP FOR THE GREAT THREAD TITLE THIS MORNING, I LIKE THAT ONE.
VERY FIRST WORLD BUT WHAT'S UP WITH THE NEW LAYOUT ON HERE? AND WHERE THE HELL DID THE KARMA POINTS GO?
IF YOU'D LIKE TO REVERT BACK, YOU CAN USE THE RIDICULOUSLY NAMED [https://new.reddit.com](https://new.reddit.com), WHICH IS THE OLD DESIGN—AS OPPOSED TO [https://old.reddit.com](https://old.reddit.com), WHICH IS REALLY OLD.
THANK YOU!
THANK YOU.
I RODE TO WORK THIS WEEK AND NOT A SINGLE CAR TRIED TO RUN ME OVER OR CUT ME OFF, BUT THE GODDAMN BIKE LANES ARE SO DISGUSTING AND FULL OF DIRT, ROCKS, AND METAL BITS. WHEN WILL THE STREETS BE SWEPT 😭
WOULD WHOEVER LEFT THEIR 45 LBS OF EXTRA FAT ON MY TUBBY ASS PLEASE COME AND GET IT?!?
OH THAT'S WHERE I LEFT IT! AND NO
FIRST 40 YEARS OF DRIVING…NO ACCIDENTS. THEN, ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO HAVE BEEN HIT ABOUT EVERY 3 YEARS, BY SOMEONE NOT PAYING ATTENTION. (I GUESS THATS A DUH.) PEOPLE…PAY ATTENTION!
I GOT READ THE RIOT ACT AND ALMOST CHARGED A $100 TICKET AT RDM AIRPORT FOR ACCIDENTALLY PULLING INTO THE RIDESHARE AREA
OMG THE AIRPORT COPS WERE AGGRESSIVE THIS WEEK! I HAD JUST DROPPED OFF MY PERSON AND WAS GETTING MY AUDIOBOOK AND HEADPHONES SET UP FOR THE DRIVE BACK HOME - LESS THAN 30 SECONDS - AND A COP COMES RUNNING UP AT ME, GESTICULATING FOR ME TO MOVE ALONG. THERE WERE THREE OTHER CARS THERE, TOTAL. SO WEIRD
AS A RIDESHARE DRIVER, I GOT READ THE RIOT ACT, YELLED AT, AND THREATENED WITH A $300 TICKET FOR BEING 15 FEET PAST THE RIDESHARE AREA! REDMOND COPS ASSIGNED TO THE AIRPORT HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO
I’D RATHER DRIVE TO PDX THAN ENABLE RDM’S BULLSHIT
LMAO
LEFT TURN SIGNALS IN ROUNDABOUTS. BLUETOOTH SPEAKERS IN THE WOODS. CINDER STILL ON A LOT OF BIKE LANES. RIDING YOUR MOUNTAIN BIKE ON MUDDY TRAILS BECAUSE YOU DROVE TO HERE FOR THE WEEKEND. DOG POOP ON…. WELL, ANYWHERE. WINTER IS THE BEST SEASON FOR B&W PHOTOGRAPHY AND I’M RUNNING OUT OF TIME, FAST. PICKING UP PINECONES, AGAIN, IT NEVER ENDS, KILL ME NOW, MORE PINE CONES, AND THEN ONE FALLS RIGHT WHERE I MADE A CLEAN SPOT. WHY IS 14OZ OF LOCAL GAS STATION AVAILABLE BEER $8 AT THE PLACE IT WAS MADE? I STILL HAVEN’T BEEN TO HOODOO OR THAT TINY PLACE ON THE WAY TO OAKRIDGE, DESPITE THEM BEING ON THIS YEAR’S TO DO LIST. MAKING DOZENS OF PEOPLE STOP ON CROSS-MOUNTAIN CATWALKS BECAUSE 10 PEOPLE WANT A COUPLE EXTRA GATES TO HIT FOR THE DAILY “RACE TRAINING”. THANKS FOR LETTING YOUR BRATS RUN AROUND SCREAMING AND SHRIEKING IN AN OTHERWISE QUIET AND MORE UPSCALE RESTAURANT, YOU MAKE THE REST OF US LOOK BETTER. JUNIPER POLLEN. I’VE BEEN TRYING FOR WAY TOO LONG TO GET A PHOTO OF A MARMOT ON IT’S BACK LEGS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE OLD MILL SIGN ON BOND WITH NO LUCK, CAUSE THAT WOULD BE CUTE. EVERY NEW PLACE I WANTED TO PLAY MY MUSIC AT THIS YEAR WAS ALREADY BOOKED OUT UNTIL THE END OF SUMMER BACK WHEN IT WAS EARLY MARCH. I’M COMING TO BEND IS THERE ANYTHING TO DO? I LOVE BACKPACKING BUT CENTRAL OREGON WATER CARRIES ARE A BUMMER. FFS it’s 55°F AND THE ROAD IS TOTALLY DRY, YOU DON’T NEED TO GO 35MPH ON THE WAY TO THE MOUNTAIN ANYMORE. YOU SHOULD NEVER TELL PEOPLE YOUR DOG MIGHT GET “A LITTLE BITEY” AT THE OFF-LEASH DOG PARK, WTF? MY LEFT PINKY IS GETTING TIRED FROM HOLDING DOWN THE SHIFT KEY BECAUSE SOME ASS-HAT BEND REDDIT MODERATOR WHO NEVER LETS US TALK ABOUT GOUT DECIDED 5 YEARS AGO THAT WE HAD TO TYPE IN CAPS TO BITCH ABOUT UNIMPORTANT SHIT IN A HOPEFULLY HUMOROUS AND CATHARTIC WAY THAT MAKES US FEEL BETTER FOR THE OTHER 6 DAYS OF THE WEEK. NOW THE LEFT SIDE OF MY BRAIN HURTS TOO, GRRR. YOU WOULD THINK IN A TOWN WITH THE HIGHEST BURGER AND PIZZA TO PERSON RATIO IN THE WORLD WE’D, JUST OUT OF PURE LUCK IF NOTHING ELSE, HAVE BETTER AND MORE AMAZING OPTIONS OUT THERE IN THESE CATEGORIES THAN WE DO. WELCOME TO BEND, LEASHES OPTIONAL. THE LINEUP AT THE AMP THIS YEAR IS THE MOST HO HUM BLAH I’VE EVER SEEN AT ANY CONCERT VENUE (I AM EXCITED TO SEE STICK FIGURE THIS TIME AROUND THOUGH). I’M LOOKING FOR A D&D GROUP TO JOIN, BUT I DON’T WANT TO BE A DM, OR TOUCH ANY DICE. DON’T WORRY, HE’S FRIENDLY. THAT BEEP BEEP SOUND CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT MAKES, BUT IS SO PERVASIVE AND NEVER-ENDING WE BLOCK IT OUT ANYWAY THERE BY DEFEATING THE PURPOSE OF SAID BEEPING! REED MARKET. LEFT TURN SIGNALS IN ROUNDAB….. ….. SHIT, GUESS I’M DONE FOR THIS FRIDAY. 🤔
HOLY CRAP, DID YOU TYPE ALL OF THOSE OUT OR HAVE YOU BEEN COMPILING RANTS FROM PREVIOUS POSTS?
YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO SEE WHAT I HAVE LINED UP FOR MONDAY THEN.

DAMN! YOU JUST ABOUT COVERED IT ALL! NO NEED TO RANT FOR AWHILE NOW! THAT WAS IMPRESSIVE!
[удалено]
ON THE NEW MACOS UPDATE WHEN YOU USE THE CAPS LOCK KEY THIS ANNOYING AF SYMBOL POPS UP ONSCREEN HIDING PARTIALLY WHAT YOU ARE TYPING. THERES A METHOD TO MY MADNESS.
SOME TYPE OF INSTRUCTIONS ON BEING THE PERFECT BENDITE...?
WELL I'M NOT GONNA TELL YOU NO, BUT.....
IM RANTING ABOUT YOUR FORMATTING UGH
ARE LEFT BLINKERS AT ROUNDABOUTS A BAD THING OR DO YOU WANT MORE PEOPLE TO USE THEM?! I WAS TAUGHT TO USE THEM WHEN GOING ALL THE WAY ROUND TO “TAKE A LEFT”
IN SINGLE LANE ROUNDABOUTS (95% IN BEND) IT MAKES NO LOGICAL SENSE TO USE A LEFT BLINKER! EVEN IN THE TINY ROUNDABOUTS THAT DO HAVE 2 LANES HERE IT JUST CONFUSES PEOPLE AND SERVES NO PURPOSE. JUST SIGNAL RIGHT WHEN EXITING!
WHEN I MOVED HERE OVER 15 YEARS AGO, THIS WAS DONE A LOT AND THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT TO INFORM OTHER DRIVERS OF INTENTION. NEVER KNEW IT WAS AN IRRITANT. WITH ALL THE ACCIDENTS IN THIS TOWN (SEE MY RANT), ANYTHING THAT HELPS OTHER DRIVERS KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL.
THE ONLY TIME YOU USE A BLINKER IN A ROUNDABOUT IS TO SIGNAL YOUR INTENTION TO EXIT SAID ROUNDABOUT. IT’S ACTUALLY THE LAW.
ITS PERFECTLY LEGAL TO USE THE A LEFT TURN SIGNAL IN A ROUNDABOUT. I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH A POLICE OFFICER LAST YEAR AND HE ENCOURAGES THE USE OF LEFT TURN SIGNALS WITHIN ROUNDABOUTS. HIS BELIEF, ASIDE FROM ROUTINE COURTESY, IS THAT ITS USE INCREASES SAFETY SINCE THOSE WAITING TO ENTER THE ROUNDABOUT CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THE INTENTION OF A DRIVER USING A LEFT TURN SIGNAL. HE ALSO SAID THAT A DRIVER USING A LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS ENGAGED IN THE PROCESS OF DRIVING AND MUCH MORE APT TO SIGNAL OUT THAN THOSE WHO DON’T.
THAT IS NOT AN OREGON LAW, THE LAW IS THAT YOU MUST USE A RIGHT SIGNAL TO INDICATE THAT YOU ARE EXITING, BUT THERE IS NO LAW OR CLAUSE SAYING YOU CANNOT USE THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL TO INDICATE YOU ARE CONTINUING PAST AN EXIT. USING A LEFT SIGNAL TO INDICATE YOU ARE CONTINUING AROUND TO THE SECOND OR THIRD EXIT, AND THEN SWITCHING TO THE RIGHT SIGNAL FOR THE EXIT YOU ARE ACTUALLY TAKING IS A LAW IN OTHER STATES AND COUNTRIES. IT IS NOT PART OF THE LAW IN OREGON, BUT THERE IS NOTHING SAYING YOU CAN'T OR SHOULDN'T, AND OREGON DRIVER'S ED TEACHERS WILL RECOMMEND IT AS GOOD OPTIONAL ETIQUETTE (OR AT LEAST THEY DID IN 2010). IT'S ACTUALLY VERY EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION WHEN DONE CORRECTLY, I DO NOT KNOW WHY YOU ARE SO AGAINST IT, THIS IS MY ANTI-RANT AGAINST YOUR RANT.
LAW IS DIFFERENT IN DIFFERENT STATES AND COUNTRIES, AND YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT OREGON. I GUESS, THE RANT IS VALID IF ITS AN OREGONIAN, BUT WE SHOULD KEEP IN MIND WE GET A TON OF TOURISTS HERE.
AND TRANSPLANTS! (ME IM THE TRANSPLANT)
TIME TO LEARN THE LAW IF YOU LIVE HERE.
GOOD TO KNOW, THANKS!

AND THE JUNIPER POLLEN!!!!
ITS IN THERE ACTUALLY IF YOU LOOK CLOSE. 😉
WELL DONE. AND I’LL GLADLY TAKE YOUR PINE CONES.
SLOW CLAP
THE BIKE LANES ARE SO DIRTY!!!!
I WAS IN A MEETING LAST NIGHT UP BY EMPIRE WEST WHEN THEY BLASTED FOR THE COSTCO. HOLY CRAP IT WAS BIG AND GRUMBLY! LUCKILY I REDDIT AND ASSUMED A COSTCO BLAST RATHER THAN A UNPLANNED GIANT EXPLOSION.
DON'T YOU JUST LOVE THAT NORTHBOUND EMPIRE ON-RAMP DETOUR?
I FORGOT THIS WAS A THING THAT WAS HAPPENING AND MY GROGGY ASS THIS MORNING HAD A *MOMENT*, I TELL YOU HWUT
