You are such a chop

[Kranswurm]

When I cycled past you today on the Tygerberg MTB trails, I said HI. Not a word, or even a grunt from you. I said HI again. Nothing. Then, while riding a few meters in front of you my chain broke. You did not offer to help, phone someone, or even looked my way. Nothing. Just cycled past. You are a chop...

Do me a favour.....don't sit next to me on the plane....

 

Serves you right for saying hello...twice

[eccc whippet]

this is the problem...same with the road rage...a good chance his day carried on without even realising "you" had an issue with him...clearly your day was screwed up worrying about him not greeting you...let it go...smile and greet the next person if that is what makes "you" happy.

Hello, morning....hi.

Greeting part is neither here nor there for me but seeing you were in difficulty and not inquiring if you ok is not on in my books.

It's tjop, not chop. Chop wood, lamb chop but someone who mifs you is a tjop.

Guys, if we keep on replying to these topics, people will keep on posting them. He obviously wants attention-not the right kind but attention nonetheless. Let's just leave it alone.

[Bonker]

You did your part. You greeted him. That should be enough for you. Expecting a greeting back is selfish because it means you greeted him to feel good about yourself.

 

As for the chain-break, he might not have time to help, he may have to get to work, go feed the kids, or he just doesn't want to and that is also ok.

While we are at it, why don't people riding MTBs greet roadies when they are riding on the road?

 

A polite acknowledgement of you using our roads is all we want. . .

[Bloukrans]

Sorry dude I was tired and had no spares for a ebike

 

Will say HI next time.

[IceCreamMan]

Thee is a difference not greeting someone an not assisting a fellow human being even if just to ask if he has a mobile. Let’s not get so wrapped in ourselves that we lose our humanity.

Are we all just going to overlook the fact OP's chain was allowed to get to a point where it broke?

No greeting? Dry your eyes and move on.

Broken chain? Carry quicklink & chainbreaker. To be safe carry 2 quicklinks.
