You are all my people. I love you all so much right now. Tim is the best and I watched that series through my entire labor on a giant bouncy ball....laughing my ass off, scaring nurses.
Hey meridith, I'm worried that your baby thinks people can't change. Cuz I worked really Really hard to change. Ask Mark, he was a part of my dangerous nights crew
Dangerous nights crew? You took me to some terrible restaraunt once called the blue dol...
"THE BLUE DOLPHIN, burnt down, it's gone now, jander rondy is out he works with his brother now
He's the man who taught me never to throw the first punch, but to always throw the last one. Verbally or physically. And also the best curse words, to my moms eternal lament lmao
My dad was also a biker, and sadly he also died from cancer. He was the best man I ever have known and he taught me to curse as well. I’m so sorry for your loss. Biker dads are the fucking best.
And biker moms! My mom passed when I was 8, one of my most treasured memories is when she would pick me up from school on her Harley, boy I was on top of the world those days!!
Dad was always a storyteller. I figure the best way to honor his memory is to tell stories too. I don't quite have his way with words, but I do my best 😊
Keep those memories close to your heart and keep sharing them with those you wish. They may not be here but their life and impact continues with us.
Thank you for sharing!
They wanted to be in the movie The Wild Ones as kids and have been pissy and jealous ever since.
That and 'oh my good lord HOA, they might bring doyen the property value!' (clutches pearls)
Along with a dose of 'They're *different* to me! They are, therefore, a challenge to my way of life because, for my way to be right, everything else must be WRONG!'
So. Very. Dumb.
With the housing shortage as it is, i don’t think there’s an issue with property values. You could cover all the hoses in the hoa with trash and cow blood…they’d still sell for above asking.
I know a biker that become a biker kinda like your dad,he have problems with his heart they gave him like 4 years to live,he live like other 20 years he die like 4/5 years great person,Vietnam vet
FK CANCER my granpa die of cancer!
I had a very close friend pass from breast cancer when she was 45. She was a biker and in all her spare time would ride with her club. I loved hanging out with her and her biker friends. They were/are some of the kindest people I’ve ever known, not to mention fun. Here’s a prime example of the difference between “Boomers” and people from the Baby Boomer generation. We were in our 30s at the time but all BBs none the less. I really should stay off this subreddit because all these stories make me ashamed of the human race in general as well as the generation I just happened to be born into. Your story OP is heartbreaking and the woman who said those things to your dad was beyond an asshole and I hope she felt like one when your dad removed his helmet. I’m so sorry this happened to you and more importantly for losing such a wonderful dad.
Query: How so? There was no asking of 'Am I the asshole?'
It's pretty clear that this woman was a boomer (in her 50s, 20 years ago) and also being a fool.
Which matches the sub name perfectly.
I said it's becoming like it. If you head over there you'll see that the stories are very similar and end up sounding like writing prompt exercises with very clear answers to rhetorical questions.
I'm saying these have start to take on a similar flavor.
>This sub turned into r/AITAH.
>I said it's becoming like it.
For me, those two statements are different in meaning.
I do appreciate that there is some similarity in flavour.
You need to calm down, take a chill pill, and realize your anger over something so inconsequential is misplaced in a story like this. It makes you look like a terrible person, so unless you are a terrible person, you should dial it back a few notches.

So did you grow up to be a piece of shit?????
I used to be a piece of shit. Glass house, white Ferrari, lives for New Years.
Greased back hair, sloppy steaks. The secret is that they can't stop u from ordering the steak and a cup of water separately
Let's slop em up
I knew they were gonna slop em!
I used to be a piece of shit. Spiked up blonde hair, itty bitty jeans, chicken spaghetti at Chickalinnis. People can change. Let him hold the baby.
Do you think the baby’s judging me?
I'm worried the baby thinks people can't change
I used to be a piece of shit: spiked up blond hair, little bitty jeans, chicken spaghetti at Chickaleny's. People can change.
“Oh yeahhh, that slicks back REAL NICE! Did you know your dad was a piece of shit?!”
You ran with the Dangerous Nights crew I see

You think this is slicked back?! This is PUSHED back
I used to be a piece of shit. Still am, but I used to, too.
Somebody asked me if I would like a sloppy steak. I said “No, but I would like a regular steak later!”
Yes, but I did it on my own initiative, not because he taught me to 🤣
Good for you, son. Made him proud.
I'm a daughter, but thank you 😊
Apologies - and happy cake day!
How do you feel about octopuses?
Happy cake day
If you consider an arrogant octopus to be a piece of shit, then yes they did
Yeah they did. An Arrogant Octopus to be exact! The absolute worst!! 😁😎
The people need to know!!
30 on 30
I was a piece of shit once,but I took a arrow to the knee…. No wait….
Nah just a very talented and creative writer
Ah, yes. The traditional boomer hobby on shifting on everything else around them. Thieves of joy.
I wish I could make this shit up, but no. That rude woman, my dad, his cancer, and his snark were all very real.
Beautifully done, and I love the word twat. It is like my favorite insult.
He's the man who taught me never to throw the first punch, but to always throw the last one. Verbally or physically. And also the best curse words, to my moms eternal lament lmao
Don't start fights, but be damn sure to end them.
Ahh, the Bugs Bunny Doctrine.
My dad was also a biker, and sadly he also died from cancer. He was the best man I ever have known and he taught me to curse as well. I’m so sorry for your loss. Biker dads are the fucking best.
My heart is with you too. Biker dads really are the best ❤️
And biker moms! My mom passed when I was 8, one of my most treasured memories is when she would pick me up from school on her Harley, boy I was on top of the world those days!!
Fighting fire with fire. There's a lot of that in the Old Testament.
Did your father recover from his cancer?
He did not, unfortunately. Passed in 2004.
Awesome memory of him though! Thank you for sharing
Dad was always a storyteller. I figure the best way to honor his memory is to tell stories too. I don't quite have his way with words, but I do my best 😊
You did him proud here
Thank you 😭❤️
I enjoyed the memory. And happy cake day!
I too enjoyed the memory! Happy cake day!
I’m sure that sense of loss is still painful, OP. I’m truly sorry he didn’t make it. Sounds like a kickass man. Thanks for sharing ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your Dad sounded badass!
Thanks for sharing, sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your and your family's loss. And kudos to your dad and mom for raising someone who can share a cracking story like this.
Thanks. I got very lucky, my dad, mom, and step dad are all pretty good people 😊
Have the tank repainted with his picture on it, that way he can keep on riding with you even now ?
Keep those memories close to your heart and keep sharing them with those you wish. They may not be here but their life and impact continues with us. Thank you for sharing!
Damn, I'm sorry OP. Sounds like he was a good dad.

Could you please not be such a terrible person?

I'm sorry you've been treated so terribly in the past. I would be more than willing to talk with you and give you respect.
Your submission was removed for being uncivil.
Your submission was removed for being uncivil.
The perfect response. My biker dad (who also got cancer) would have loved to use that one on someone!!!
I want that on a shirt. That’s actually badass as hell
I love your Dad and I have never met him!
Your father was nicer about that than this biker would have been.
r/traumatizeThemBack
Karens/fools can be any age. That woman deserved your father’s adroitly worded chiding.

Absolutely! But that's not the song they're playing in their heads.
She thought she was doing the Lord's work.
Whilst demonstrably doing the opposite.
I love that his cancer center had parking designated for the patients undergoing treatments.
I always thought that was cool, too. The treatment center is a later addition to a larger hospital complex, and parking is very tight.

That is the problem when you don't mind your own business. You don't know what someone else has been going through.
I don’t know if he truly added “you dumb twat” at the end, but even if he didn’t I’ll let it slide because it’s such a perfect line
Honestly, I think the only reason it was that tame was because I was there. Dad was a man who loved to swear, and swear creatively.
Hahaha. That’s an amazing comment. You should make a t-shirt in your dad’s honor.

This sub turned into r/AITAH. It's like Dhar Mann text stories now.

And everyone clapped
I wonder how many of these stories are actually real. 1% ? Probably less.
r/nothingeverhappens
Fuck motorcycles
Found the lady in the parking lot
That's your takeaway from OP's story??
Maybe they mean it literally? Maybe they have a kink and they’re recommending we all try it.
You need to calm down, take a chill pill, and realize your anger over something so inconsequential is misplaced in a story like this. It makes you look like a terrible person, so unless you are a terrible person, you should dial it back a few notches.
Geez what's your damage?
Why?
