I iron my clothes to avoid being lectured on wearing creased clothing. Maybe I misused the expression "snappy dresser" Not sure how much has to do with lack of self awareness and how much is indifference.

I do iron my underwear [and other items of clothing] if they are still damp after washing, I need something to wear, and it hasn't yet rained owing to rain and lower than usual temperatures.

your Penis extension is bad for the planet and bad for your wallet.

Ja, I drive a 2006 Hilux. Really expensive and pumps out diesel smoke.

It's not a penis extension, I would have bought a red sports car for that. It was just a good price and a good choice for someone who was working from home and used it for transporting dogs, kids, camping shit etc on the occasional weekend.

My ex-wife had a "town car", which we used in town.

I'm left with my penis extension, which is totally shit in Cape Town city, it's just too big. Although taxis seem not to bother me...

And, finally, my daughter chose a name for my big manly man white doublecab diesel truck when she was two years old: "Sarah"

Not sure if a female penis extension makes me trans?

I'm considering getting a small car, the Hilux is paid off. I'll ask my son to name that

Excuse him, he “rides” a bike in the rain.

I had a friend with a big purple Nissan named barny. still a penis extension because the people that drive those are all insecure and have them because they want to be noticed and want people to think of them as big strong manly men.

and if it upsets you that I call it that then it kind of enforces the stereo type.

if you are secure enough in yourself to know you are not the kind of person that drives it because of insecurities but because you actually need the utility of it then it wont bother you at all.

my GF's dream car is a Hilux so she can transport her 7 dogs with no issue, expesially the search and rescue dog to difficuilt places. and even she refers to them as penis extentions.

yeah the rain sucks but movimg though traffic makes up for it.
plus if you want to mock me for the bike use the south park loud harley approach because I do have a loud cruiser.
and I defend the loudness by saying that I bought it with that exhaust on it. and if people are upset at the noise and looking around for what is causing it at least they see me coming. so its safer.

By loud, you of course mean a penis extension. I’m sure someone as familiar with penis extensions as you are will immediately recognise the similarities between a big vehicle (to be noticed) and a loud exhaust, perhaps to be noticed, but really to piss people off, and compensate for a small penis.

if it had tastles on the handle bars and offered nothing other than noise I would agree.
but by increasing the diamiter I gain more acceleration in low torque situations. so if I gear down and floor it I am better off with this exchaust than with the stock exhaust. and that is a situation that comes up often on a bike. 99% of the time that is the better way to avoid a crash than slamming on brakes. espesially on the highway when some hilux driver decides to swerve into the fast lane where I am already doing 140. going around is safer than slamming on brakes.
and bikes dont get noticed so people make stupid moves and put bikers in danger.
I can see the paralelles.
much like a single cab on a farm is not a penis extention but a double cab that only drives in the suburbs and never carries a load is a penis extention.
tastles on the handle bar of teh weekend warriror cruiser = Suburban double cab that never gets any real work done

There aren’t a lot in life that pisses me off, but when bikes are super load, as they all are on our beach road I am pissed off and swear at them. So your loud bike would make me very angry. How the fuck do you get to make such noise legally? Oh right, it’s not legal, you are breaking the law.

Oh and mind you, I drive a 2 ton 4x4 for safety. In an accident I’ll be fine, you not so much.

mine are on the legal limit. I had it tested when I changed ownership because I was worried. was not keen on spending another 8K on replacing an Exhaust that fits the look of the bike perfectly.
and I can with 100% honesty say that if I were to ride all the way down the the beach you will notice me but I wont be that loud.
I was standing at the Robot last week next to a Harley that was louder than mine. I could hear his over the music in my headphones and my own loud exhaust. and he also had tastles on his monkey bars. and he was wearing a club vest.

Wait others should hear you while driving and you wear headphones, dafaq

coms system. so I can get out of the complex. connected to my phone so I can make calls.

its not hedphones, its speakers built into the helmet. I can still hear external noise.
but when I am on the highway i wear ear plugs as well. because wind noise is high pitched and can damage hearing.
and yes others must hear the bike coming because they are sitting in cars sending whatsapp voice notes and fiddling with the radio and looking at meme's instead of paying attention to traffic. hearing me means they actually pay attention and dont just sway over 2 lanes.
and another suprising thing. Taxis are better in 99% of teh cases than bakkeis or Luxury sedans. sure I still get annoyed when they skip robots and push in and drive against traffic but taxis will make room for a bike to come past even when they dont need to. where a bakie or a luxyury sedan will actively move to the edge of the lane to block a bike coming past.

Last week I replaced two emergency bulbs in my bedroom. Last night 8 pm the power went off (LS), and these two bulbs switched on. The light switch was off. I then switched off the lights at the breaker panel, all other emergency lights went off except for these two.

At 2 am we had loadshedding again, they remained off (switch was off).
