On my way home from work going through Southie on D St I saw a guy on a bike blow through a red light and then slam into the rear panel of a Toyota. The dudes tire was mangled (his own fault) but what blew my mind was his audacity to stand in an intersection and FLIP the fuck out on the driver. It undoubtedly was the bike guys fault and I know most people who ride bikes in the city are some self absorbed ass hats but this just brought it to a new level for me🤦‍♂️

Use the bike lane. There is a bike lane for you, and a sidewalk for me.

It takes a lot of hard work and tax dollars to pave the roads to fit a bike lane across the entirety of the city.

Yet you decide to beam down the sidewalks going 20 mph yelling “ON YOUR LEFT” at people walking like we’re in your way - when there’s a BIKE LANE 4 FEET AWAY ON YOUR LEFT.

I await the day when a cyclist crashes into me and injures themselves, and I can just laugh and call them an idiot as I walk away.

Rant over.

Especially the industrial area on Southampton between Andrew Square and Mass & Cass. I had to get the manual out and turn all the sensors off just to avoid it freaking out. Plus, I've seen iRobot and I know how this ends up.

Have any of you gotten a ticket or been tracked by a because

a flock camera? Closer than you think!

Just found out our little town has cameras in it.

This might be a long shot, but I figured Reddit might be the place to try.

I’m looking for a guy I sat next to at Fenway on Friday, May 22 during the Red Sox vs. Twins game. I accidentally sat in the wrong row because my ticket was for the bleachers, Row 6 Seat 19, but my brain somehow read it as Row 19 Seat 6.

I ended up sitting next to a guy who I believe was in Row 19, Seat 7. He was in his 20s, wore glasses, lives in Boston, and we talked for a bit about baseball before I realized I was in the wrong seat and had to move. The Red Sox lost 8–6, so at least the conversation was better than the final score lol.

I never got his name, or maybe I did and completely blanked, but he was really nice, and I’d honestly love to find him and talk again.

If this sounds like you, or you know who this might be, please message me. And if anyone is willing to share this around, I’d really appreciate it.

My ticket was actually for Bleacher Section L40, Row 6, Seat 19, but I accidentally sat in Bleacher Section L41, Row 19, Seat 6 because I mixed up the row and seat numbers.

The name, wada hoppa drives me nuts hah

Holy smokes! Check out this video I just found of a "professional" school bus driver, employed by JSC Transportation in Waltham, going full road rage over absolutely nothing! If I were you, I would NOT trust this company with the responsibility of keeping my children safe!

Genuinely love Thai food, but mostly because of Kra Pao Moo (basil pork belly stir fry). That's basically all I ever order. Best one I've ever had was at a spot in New York. Had some decent ones since moving to Boston, but nothing that's blown me away yet.

Curious where people go for Thai food and what they order when they get there (trying to diversify lol). Drop your spot and your go-to dish.

Hello everyone, I need some help from you all. I need some resources for a woman in her 60's who was kicked out of her home from her partner and he's not letting her get her things out.
Any resources on emergency housing?
Thank you.

Just drove by a bit earlier and couldn’t stop. There’s a huge line going into van ness street and wrapping around Brookline Ave. doesn’t seem to be anything happening at Fenway park today. Anyone know what might be going on ?

I’m visiting Boston for work soon and I enjoy ocean swimming at home in California so no stranger to cool/cold water ocean swimming.

Pleasure Bay looks like a great place to train but I’ve read conflicting info. Some people have posted about doing distance swims. I’ve also read online the government there restricts things to a small guarded/roped off area which would not be appealing. I’d like to swim a long distance parallel to the beach. Can anyone comment on what the deal is? I wouldn’t want to be harassed or cited by a lifeguard.

If Pleasure Bay isn’t an option I’m so curious about the nearby beaches in South Boston.
