“Did I do Something Good or Bad?”
Last night as I was walking down the hill on my block, a Dominoes pizza delivery guy sped by me on his bike, skimming me by inches. I wanted to yell what the fuck? But since I’ve been dealing with the flu, I needed to conserve my energy.
A little bit farther down the block, there was also a woman and her little boy walking. The little boy was actually running awkwardly down my block, not yet in total control of his movements. The reckless delivery guy just missed the kid by inches as well. I wondered if was he stupid or just didn’t give a fuck?
As I watched him park and chain his bike in front of my building, I immediately grinned and took out my keys and fumbled with my “Supreme” all in one “Swiss army” utility thingy that has all sorts of useful shit, including a little knife.
As soon as he stepped foot inside my building, I punctured both his front and back tires and put my palm over it so I can enjoy feeling the breeze of his air leaking out. His tires were finished.
I sat on my stoop and waited for him to come out to discover his misfortune. He flipped in Spanish and said something to me that seemed like a question. I’m not well versed in the lanquage, so I just shrugged my shoulders and said “I dunno.” I wished him a good night and went inside.
I felt a tinge of guilt for a few minutes. I probably fucked up his lively hood for a day or two. Maybe he had kids to feed, who kows what his personal situation is? But then I thought… you know what? Fuck that shit! I might have also saved someone from getting hit that night. I guess it’s all on how you look at it. I know that I have a talent for spinning things so that it justifies my actions. Don’t let me fool you. But just out of a natural child-like curiousty...I wonder how do you see it?

you did the right thing.....i live on a small residential street where kids are always out playing. As much as those little fuckers bug me with all the ruckus and noise, i get irate when i see some douche come haulin ass down the street. Where are you goiin in such a rush that the lives and well being of those around you no longer matter??
Street justice is where its at in the ‘08!
I laugh!!!!!!!!!
FUCK EM.
dont worry about it bee.. FUCK EM! nigga shoulda rode in the street, not smashin down the sidewalk with kids an shit...NY!
Who’s snarf? I spellchecked your mother in the asshole. Her shit was spelled incorrect. Bitch!
hahahahaa, it was the wrong dialect in there........ In the butthole!!!
You need to clarify a few details. Were you both on the sidewalk?
What is skiming you by inches? That to me says he rode by you closely
without contact. But close enough to startle you. Which if you’re in the
street is your bad for being out to lunch. Now he could have been
more conscientious and given you more room if that was the case.
So he is just another jerk consumed with his own problems.
Now if you were both on the sidewalk as it may seem than the fool is
lucky he can still ride a bicycle. Sidewalk riding gets NO love anywhere.
I don’t care what city.
Just to frame my comment I spent over a decade as a bicycle courier
in Boston. I know how to thread a line through the city and roll behind
peoples direction of motion. I will say this though. If fools are gonna
walk around in the street like intertia doesn’t bring the life altering
impacts then fuckers need to get drilled.
I’m really sick of jerks walking out in front of the bicycle like I don’t
exist. I popped a pleated khakis chump crossing my green and giving
me the aristocrtic scowl last week. It felt good. He never though I
could punch his face tell him to fuck off and do it all in one smooth
flowing motion as I made my light and slipped through the oncoming
traffic for my left.
So two flats for a punk is and easy night for him.
It could have been twenty stitches.
End rant now.
Nah bee, I live in New York City, I try not to make it a habit not to walk in the street. Especially in Washington Heights. It’s not good for your health. And you’re correct, skimming me by inches means that he rode closely by me without contact. Yes, close enough to become startled. You know, that feeling that kind of makes you feel like a bitch before you become pissed. Pissed enough to slash his tires but fortunately for him, too sick to relieve him of his pizzas and any cash that he might have been carrying. I would have let him keep the bike though. I try to keep the evil/good thing in balance.
Goddamn y’all, homie’s just tryin’ to tell his stories. Talkin’ about spell check and all this shit. If you can read it and it was a good story, who gives a fuck about that grade-school shit? Psycho’s in effect, this is some real life knowledge and you kids can’t appreciate it.
dude its karma i believe in karma and he obviously had it coming so it wasnt good or bad it was just wat was ment to happen also how are you puerto rican and not know basic spanish post some more flix or sketches
that’s some juvenile shit. you can’t let little bullshit things like that piss you off to the point you have to get aggressive on some clueless herb...at least you could’ve waited for him to come out THEN said ‘yo’ and gave him a piece of your mind. instead you popped the dude’s tires like a sneaky little teenager.
