Pet Peeves: Winter

**ZeroIndex** · 5th May 2006, 10:02

Not sure if anyones done a post like this, so I thought I'd start one..

Firstly, I work for DX Mail <-- only till I can find something better
..and for that, I'm out on my bike every day, all day, rain, wind, shine..

1. Rain!! Ok, small doses don't bother me, but when delivering mail, it just sucks

2. Wet gear: my Quasimoto gloves are great, but once wet, they are about as cold and miserable as my shoes (yes, I still need to get boots)

3. ..and lastly.. I was riding along delivering mail this morning, and I sneezed.. and then realised, CRAP, I've got a full-face helmet.. I then quickly pulled to the side of the road, and started cleaning the inside of my helmet.. GRRRRR

..anyone else, please feel free to add whatever other pet peeves you have.

Have a nice day

the sun is coming out

I hate it when my 3 acre lawn gets so wet and muddy, I can't mow it.

Yesh, the clothes thing too.

ok.. I HATE MY JOB!! I've only had it for just over a week, but i've had it with them.. the work bike i've got Hyosung FX110 is a piece of crap.. on Tuesday, the battery, wires, electrics 'F'd up, and there was smoke everywhere, so they fixed it.. then today, I notice how the rear tread pattern is on the bike.. ok-ish on left and right side, NONE IN THE MIDDLE!! going around corners in the rain today, i could feel the back slipping a bit.. so that is it.. if it's raining tomorrow morning, I'm phoning work and telling them "until you get new tires, i'm not coming to work"

..oh, and when i got home, the engine was smoking (near the oil thingy side)
