Ponderings of a Scientist

Guys who think they can impress women (other men) by revving their car’s engine at stop signs and then speeding crazily ahead after the light turns green.  These men get an extra pet peeve point when they do all this in first gear.  Shift man shift, the loud whine of your engine is pathetic, not cool!

On a related note - men (people) who taunt, cat-call, or honk at runners and cyclists.  One its rude, two its rude, three its rude, and four it scares the shit out of me when I have my headphones on (Although, I still have to give creativity points to the teenager who told Zipy to “pedal hard retard!” )

Another one:  the man who tried to pick me up while I was running, by switching directions to running with me and telling me all about how fast he was and how may races he has won.  If I wanted to go out for a fast run I would have been with my husband!  I didn’t enjoy having my nice, slow Sunday morning run interrupted by a tag-along flirter!
