My Glide almost got mulched!
So the wife and I jump on the Electra Glide for lunch at our favorite wing and beer place. We are early so the parking lot was almost empty. We are sitting on the patio and watch a landscaping truck full of mulch pull up. You guessed it, the moron backs right next to my bike and is ready to dump. The waiter says "you might want to move your bike." I rush over and the idiot kid just looks at me like I am over reacting. I move the bike and tell the kid that he should be glad I am a nice guy since some guys would have killed him for even thinking about what he was about to do. The manager felt bad and gave me a $20 gift card.

You see it happening and wait for the waiter to say something.
Only then you reacted?
Then you tell the "moron/idiot kid" he could get killed for doing what he did, you being the "nice guy" you are?
Look in the mirror, that's the guy that overreacted.

No, it was one of those times where you watch for a second thinking there is no way he will dump that. As I was getting up is when the waiter said that. Sorry I did not paint enough of a picture for you so you understood the complete time frame.

C'mon Carl...be honest here... the guy wasn't gonna dump his load on your bike, was he.
You were a little irritated 'cuz it was close, you said some things, he said some things.........
Who had the "attitude" to begin with when the conversation began?

This is a joke right? No he was not going to dump it ON my bike, but was damn close. What would you do if a dump truck was about to dump a load of mulch right next to your bike when the whole parking lot was open? Yes I was irritated, take a poll here and see who would not be besides you. You must be friggin kidding me.
