We took a box of cupcakes to our favorite horn-honking-raspberry-blowing bus driver today, along with a card thanking her for brightening our mood with her daily greetings.
Is she actually trying to be funny when she sticks her tongue out at us? Will the cupcakes help her see that I'm just an ordinary mom trying to get her kid to school safely? Will my refusal to recognize her antics as a sign of aggression just make her angrier?
I honestly don't know.
@DrTCombs Wait, how did the cupcakes go over? Did she thank you? Did she know you were the same person on the bike?
@atthenius @Andres4NY i promise this approach does not come easily for me
@Andres4NY we left the cupcakes with the school receptionist, who promised to deliver them.
may be she honks at everyone on a bike, but we're pretty obvious in our orange helmets and bright bikes festooned with blinkies.
According to Everything, Everywhere, All At Once, your antagonist most likely has a crush on you and in another timeline you're together
@pleaseclap @Andres4NY if she were a middle school boy I'd buy it.
I mean, that's a pretty accurate description of butch fashion
@DrTCombs I wish there was an encouraging honk button because I always want to cheer on people cycling when I drive, but I know honking will not be interpreted the right way.
Hehehehe! Clever!!
This morning we were greeted with a tongue, but no horn. Not sure if that's because of our peace offering or the new sign on the front of my bike that says, "Honk if you love bicycles!"
