It's not a boulder persay, just a big ass chunk of asphalt in the ****ing road.

SO, it really isn't a "Small thing that gravel's your ass". It's large gravel that busted your ass.

Years ago I hit a foot deep pothole on a rainy night in Chicago. Took out both tires and rims on the passenger side, did damage to the undercarriage, plus I had to take my wife to the ER because it hurt her back. That sucked. And of course it just counted as an accident on my insurance and the city didn't pay shit.

If it was asphalt, then you technically just went up a small but steep hill.

Either way, that stinks. You're lucky your airbag didn't blow.

That's exactly why I didn't call the city. Too much hassle and truly don't care about anybody's wellbeing. I did, however, call my insurance in hoping they'll pay for two tires and 2 rims. I just wanted to have a good day lol.

Recently lost my horn on my car, tracked everything down and it appears isolated to the contacts between the airbag and the cover.

Now I don't know whether to feel blessed the airbag didn't blow up in my face, or pissed I have to shell out so much for a new airbag/steering unit just to replace $.05 worth of inaccessible contacts.

Diner with a row of booths. Someone at one booth talks directly over my booth to someone in another booth. Especially when one booth is populated with members of the DPC (dead pecker club) who are hard of hearing to start with.

I usually get it to stop by telling my wife (fairly loudly), "Don't you just hate it when people yell over you when you are eating breakfast?"

I did check into filing a claim against the City of Chicago, and was essentially told it would be like suing God.

Plus, they actually fixed the pothole the next day, so it was gone by the time I went back to take pictures. I'm sure they would have been like "what pothole?" Bastards.

Chicago is an ancient Indian word meaning "**** you."

Who knows? Maybe she did? If so, good for him.
