When your kid's coach or parent makes a post in one of the 37 apps used to track your kids activities and is very specific on how to respond. Something like, "If your kid doesn't want to play soccer this year, let me know here" or "like this post if you are in this year". and then some dumbass posts, "Adelynny is in, so excited!!!" which sets off everyone else to do the exact opposite of what the coach says to do.

Happens every time and drives me bonkers.

Why can't there just be a text or Signal or FB messenger thread instead of using apps like "band" or "groupme" for team stuff? I dislike being forced to add new apps when I already have a widely available app on my phone that does the exact same function.

how is signal or fb messenger different than groupme or band? the reason we have to use groupme is because text groups can't be over a certain number of people or something. like you max out on a baseball or football team because there are a shitload of parents, many split households so you get like 4 parents per kid. basketball it could possibly work.

doesn't everyone already have FB Messenger or Signal? I don't think there is a limit to how many members can be on a thread with those apps.

I have neither of those things. We use group me and team snap.

I drive up and down lamar every day for work and there is a person that drives an E bike on the exact same commute. What really grinds my gears is you will pass them then when you get to a stop light they will take their bike on the sidewalk, get in front of everyone at the stop light, cross the street in the crosswalk then get back on the road ahead of you.

Sometimes I will end up passing this person multiple times in a couple of miles and it's infuriating...stay on the road or the sidewalk.

The ebike people act like they own the entire road/sidewalk, so I am firmly on #teamnoebike  :don'tcare:

Have either of you ever ridden a bike on a road? Ebike people are the entitled ones and not drivers of SUVs and huge trucks?

The real kings of the road are the beat up Civics with trash bag windows and massive dents. Like the tear drop tattoo of driving. No one is gonna mess with the guy who has nothing to lose.

Residential streets are fine but if you ride a bike on a street with even moderate traffic you should be arrested
