"I feel so sorry for you!" -> poser

**Currently** · 11-06-05, 07:25 PM

I went to the dealer yesterday to have them look over my bike and get an oil change.

While I was there, some guy walks in like he owns the place and asks about his bike and is it ready. So then he turns to me and to start a conversation, he asks, "What kind of bike do you have?" I respond, a Suzuki SV and he replies, "I feel so sorry for you!" a couple of times. Stunned, I ask him what kind of bike does he ride? A Ducati ..... whoa!

I am speechless, I look at the person behind the counter and they look at me and just shrug.

I have heard of people like that but never had the "pleasure" to meet one ...

After he left in his 40k SUV, all kinds of retorts came to mind, but I am sure that most would of gone over his head!

He looked like he could not even run 50 feet without collapsing in a puddle of quivering coalescing fat. Since he had the eyetalian hardware, it was important to recognize him.

I have seen tools before, this one took the cake!

Before anyone asks, no, I did not get a chance to look at his chicken strips!

You should have said "OH YEAH?!?" and then punched him in the throat.

Meh...it could be worse.

In the field of automotive tuning, people with shitty ricer rockets will "feel sorry for you" for driving anything that's not a Honda.

I think it's more frusterating to deal with assholes, who are cocky about how good their crappy cars are, rather than assholes who are cocky about how good their nice cars are.

People are fucked up. A few years ago, I taught highschool math and science for a year while I was looking for engineering work. A student in one of my math classes walked up to me before the lesson began and said (and this is a direct quote) "I bet I know more about computers than you do."

First I was floored that someone would have the nerve to say something like that wether it was true or not. Then I made him aware of the fact that I'm an electrical engineer that just so happens to specialize in computers and digital logic design. The kid just sat down and never mentioned it again.

Never underestimate a person's ability to make an ass of themselves.

yeah it sucks but people are like that I have to deal with it every day at my shop.

**TIMMYDUCK** · 11-06-05, 09:28 PM

Sounds like the same asshole whom challenged me to a race in Meredith, NH a few years back.
He had a very nice Ducati 999.
So we hit 104 to 93 South to the Tilton Dinner.
I had finished my smoke by the time he showed up.

I feel sorry for that fellow's mother.

**mzdagrl** · 11-07-05, 08:06 AM

I see those people every day at work. And believe it or not, they aren't all men, they aren't all motorcycle riders, and they aren't all old enough to own things of their own. My personal favorite is the 18 year old kid I had in my store the other day whobasically threw a tantrum because the shoes he chose didn't have 2 different color laces.

I agree.

Except for the saying 'oh yeah' part.

Guy has low self-esteem and needs to belittle others to feel better about himself. He's also quite likely the type that assumes the most expensive is also the best and likes to brag about how much (as opposed to how little) he paid for stuff. I bet he has no "real" friends, treats waitstaff like crap, and his woman (if he has one) is likely more than a little disappointed but likes the expensive stuff too much to move on.

I see guys like this all the time on the water. They usually have a Formula, Donzi, Baja, Cigarette, or Fountain boat with absurdly loud exhaust and utterly unimaginatively sophomoric names and look down upon everything else.

**Legion1440** · 11-07-05, 10:58 AM

You should have gone "Three Stooges" on him, and poked him in the eyes......that would have been high comedy.

**Rory McConoghy** · 11-07-05, 11:15 AM

i love guys like that. when i used to have my malibu ('71), i used to run into guys/kids like this all the time. just because it isnt the prettiest picture in the world doesnt mean it wont scream past you or pretty much make you shit your pants when you almost hit the red line.

as i continue the ramble, they are also the dudes who after getting thrown out of the bar yell about "do you know who i am" and such and usually wind up getting knocked out with one shot.

yeah, shoulda went with the throat punch then stole his bike.

\lifestory.

I would have said thanks, I will be sure to feel sorry for you when you're paying for your spendy valve adjustments and I'm out riding, you fucking cum dumpster.

Oh yes, and by the way, please buy your sister a treadmill for Christmas, her ass is getting a bit rotund, and if it gets any larger, I cant be her pimp anymore.

**Awesome** · 11-07-05, 11:32 AM

You should have smashed his face into a car windshield and then taken his mother Dorothy Mantooth out for a nice seafood dinner, and NEVER called her AGAIN!

There was a guy like that in my ballet class. Always bragging about his fouetté rond de jambe en tournants. Like I give two shits.

I ain't a poser! My bike is!

**Currently** · 11-07-05, 05:54 PM

Do you feel sorry for me?

Couple of comebacks I got are:

"That's nice, but I bought the kind of bike I wanted, I don't need your approval."

Or ... no offense intended but:

"She's like a beautiful woman,lovely to look at and ride,but I could'nt live with it"

It is not the bike, I love Duc's ...

Rather it is the same type of people that are attracted to Duc's, Harley's and ooooo ... the CUSTOM built choppers with no front brakes!

Bottom line, it is not the ride, it is what passes as the rider in this case.
