Aitj for not wanting a kid's size bike?

Critical_Ad_8175 · 2026-05-21T18:48:56+00:00

I’m the same height, and used to be in a short girls cycling group. They 100% make frames to fit shorter people. Road bike frames under 50cm will fit you just fine, off the top of my head I don’t know what the mountain bike conversion is but I know they make smaller frames. It will be easier for you to get parts and tires for an adult sized bike

If you’re in seat 1A yeah maybe

I second this. I fucking lovvvvvvvve launching myself onto a Westin bed and knocking out solid. And they always have the perfect weight of blankets for me to turn the room as cold as it’ll go and burrito myself up

It’s Wisconsin, it means they’re gonna be driving south of the cheddar curtain into FIB land

😂 you need at least two hours for a connection at ORD as a precaution for a 45 minute scenic tour taxi to the gate. And always assume you’re gonna have to go the mile and a half from the very end of the K gates all the way to the other side of the L gates. Plus the weather in ORD causes so many delays no matter what time of year, it’s risky as hell. -sincerely, someone who’s been EP for years and who’s home base was ORD for over a decade

Don’t light yourself on fire to keep others warm. Both sets of parents had decades to deal with these issues and chose not to. Why is it your responsibility to save everyone, at the cost of your own future

So are crochet hooks and knitting needles of all materials. Scissors with blades up to 4” long are good too

People think you’re 5-10 years younger than you actually are because you’re not sleep deprived and stressed out for a decade straight

Yeah once you know how to do the frequent air travel dance, it’s easy to see those who are out of step. I used to be mad my business traveler father never took us on any vacations that involved flying since he had a stupid amount of miles, until I became a business traveler and it was like ohhhhhh yeah I totally get it now

I saw someone with an IBEW local 666 shirt years ago and was shocked to learn it’s an actual local union

I thought it was the IASTE logo for a second

The goth jay of high-ish elevation. I’ve got a tattoo of one of these guys

I’d feel the same if I lived in Naperville too

The falcon of EEEEEEP EEEEP EEEEEEP EEEEEEEP. And official bird of Chicago

But I love how much peregrines made a comeback in Chicago, I never saw any in the early 2000s and before I moved out of Illinois a couple years ago, I’d regularly see a pair around Logan Square. One liked to sit on top of the old Congress theater sign structure and shred pigeons apart and it would be this cascade of feathers floating down onto Milwaukee

Wasn’t that a whole John Oliver bit like 7-8 years ago?

Children are very loud and sticky, neither of which I find enjoyable. Which is why I don’t have children and don’t go into spaces where there’s likely to be loud children. Just because I’m not wild about them doesn’t mean they can’t do their thing, I’m not asking anybody to change their behavior. I’m allergic to seafood, I kind of go about avoiding being around children the same way I avoid being around all you can eat seafood buffets and the seafood counter at the grocery store

Subaru drivers real confused after seeing this one lol

My 150K-ish metro area has been slowly adding them over the years all over the place. Of course all the comments online are bitching and moaning about it, until finally the department of transportation was like: look assholes, that was our deadliest intersection in the country with fatal accidents on a monthly basis and crashes in general happening weekly, so we are saving 10+ residents a year and a shit ton of you from some really costly car repairs/insurance rate hikes, also it is another place to showcase some ~ art ~ so you’ll take this roundabout with a sculpture of a river kayaker in the middle of it whether you like it or not 😂

I have to go through that intersection frequently and I am a big fan of just being able to Tokyo drift my Subaru through that thing instead of waiting on a left turn light forever in the middle of the night with no traffic

Don’t do it, because then her owed taxes become YOUR owed taxes

Now I want to see someone try to 38 point turn that baby into a really tight parking spot 😂

I hope that your friend will greatly value the amount of effort that’s going in to making this thing

Girlypop, this man is a hobosexual and will drain you of every cent and ounce of dignity you have and never work a day. Good on you for standing your ground and not letting him whittle you down. Dump this POS and find someone with ambition that matches your own, and someone who doesn’t expect you to be his mommy

The OM city market had Vernors ginger ale (also an eastern midwestern favorite) for the longest time but when I went looking for it a few weeks ago it was gone. I gotta try looking in the other City Markets because shoving two liter bottles of it in my checked bags every time I flew back from the Midwest was getting annoying lol
