I just rode home from the pub. I only had lemonade, as I won't ride after even a shandy. It was a mate's 40th birthday. I pulled up at a set of lights, minding my own business and happy with my pipes just louder than my ipod. There's this bleedin 3 series BMW with 2 idiots, and it's souped up in a rude boy stylee. (Well that's what we used to call it at school....) Loud exhausts and attitude... The drivers sat there revving the engine and I look over and shrug my shoulders. Lights change and I floor it. Leave him in my dust...well nearly anyway. The next lights are at a junction and its less than 100 yards. I still beat him there... He's then diving across the lanes, pulling in behind me - I'm convinced that he's gonna do it again at the next lights but I may come of worst. So I nip down the bicycle lane that to the left and well out of his way.  That puts 8 or 9 cars between me and him. Thing is, I was chuffed that I beat him of the lights without really really flooring it. I didn't even hit the rev limiter. So this girl on her shiny bike took on a twat (who probably thought it was a Hardley..) and won. Does that make me a bad person?

No, they need it and I would imagine it would have hurt them more cause your a chick. I meat out justice to the same types, only I do it in my GT-R. Its not a fair fight with a bike..actually my GT-R is quicker so I guess its never a fair fight. The grown up part of my brain say " let um go" but the inner boy says "crush them", its a coin toss most days. 
...yes, that is a single seat...no, I will not put the other seat on...yes, I am selfish...yes, you should buy your own bike

It makes you my hero(ine).
The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

Well if you've even ever THOUGHT about drinking a shandy, then yes, you're a bad person.

Wikipedia: Shandy is a term for beer flavoured with lemonade or some sort of soft drink. 
That's just wrong, and a waste of good beer.

Do you know the difference between a BMW and a porcupine? The porcupine has its pricks on the outside.

Inquiring minds want to know! 
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

If you were a bad person, you would have let them have a headstart, then laughed and pointed as you passed them.
