Interesting thing happened.
So I was doing some downhill biking at Sugar Mountain in NC. During the summer, it's not very busy except for us hardcore bikers () and some trailriders. Well, I was waiting and holding onto my bike to get on the lift. I mean, I was just doing what I usually do and have always done: held onto my bike, waited in line, and then handed my bike to the lift guy, and then waited until he said I could get onto the lift (sometimes they load your bike before you get onto the lift as opposed to after).
When I handed my bike to the guy, he said to me "Thanks for waiting." Now, I was kinda puzzled on what he meant since I was just waiting in line. So I said "...uhh..no problem?" He goes, "Yeah, lots of people just take their bikes and throw them on the ground in front of me and then get on the lift, expecting me to just put it on for them as they go up." I said, "Wow, are you serious? That's ridiculously rude. I mean I thought that it was just, you know, standard and stuff to hand you the bike when you're ready. That's what I've always done and I thought everyone did that." He said, "Nope. Apparently some people don't do that. I'm glad you're polite, though. When people do that, I don't even load their bike on the lift." (which is really funny because the lift is like 30 mins to get up to the top).
So are people seriously that rude? God, that's annoying.
