I helped my girlfriend buy a bike so we could do something couple-y together that didn't involve me doing something that she was interested in. Turns out she sucks ass at it. After she'd had several anxiety attacks and getting thoroughly pissed at me for coming up with this idea, I was wondering whether this wasn't the stupidest fucking couple hundred bucks I've ever spent. Was getting annoyed at all the whining too, I mean, what kind of invalid are you if you can't ride a fucking bike. After awhile she started to enjoy it and get cheerful, and then she decides to close her bikestand by hand, getting her finger caught in the mechanism in the process, chomping a good chunk of her thumb off.
