I try never to mention the good weather when out on the bike as inevitably it will immediately piss it down if I do.
Also if my bike is running well despite not been cleaned or recently maintained when coming up to a big planned ride, then I just leave it as it is. From previous experience, if I start to clean it then I'll tinker with it and end up doing something that makes the bike ride worse like: contaminate disc pads, adjust suspension setup, adjust gears.....
Now don't do (as well as dissuade by kids or people I'm with from doing) the 'one last go' as from experience that's when accidents happen. My wrist has a lovely plate and 7 screws from 'one last go' when snowboarding some years ago.
I try to end every ride in a downhill, no matter how short of a downhill. As it always cheers me up despite of how awful the ride was.
The group ride faf is definitely a reason why I only ride with other people when I don't have a deadline of having to be somewhere after. Some people can spend more time procrastinating and faffing than actually riding.
Not caught a bus in a long time but when I did it always seemed to be me, who the 'openly eccentric' person (who just got on) sat next to.

My mum used to reply “my husband doesn’t allow me to speak to other men”
It worked every time.
