    Welcome to my world, I drive a semi for a living.
    Sorry you had a bad day.
    People act like a bunch of wild animals sometimes, it's really kind of sad.
    No common courtesy, no respect. It's not just where you live , it's everywhere.

    My dad was a truck driver for a long time, he had encounters like this sometimes too. I just never thought people would be so spastic over things. lol

    As mentioned, its sad were are all the same species.

    Even here in peaceful Amish country we get retards. Just gotta let it go most of the time, or beat them at thier own game. I usually try to have fun with people when they do stupid crap like that. Sarcasm and awkward silences are your allies!

    The other day we drove down to the store to show a lady our hatchling cornsnakes she was interested in. While we were outside the store another lady pulled up and saw us talking with a couple tubs sitting on the curb. We informed her what we had so she wouldn't be freaked out if she came over. She was curious and wanted to see and I showed her the tub with 6 baby corns in it. The lid never came off. She went in the store, did her business and left. A few minutes later a cop pulls up. A few blocks away she flagged down the cop and told him there were people outside the store with dangerous reptiles scaring people. Cop thought it was halarious when he saw it was us (we've met before, very small town) and what we had.

    I get road rage pretty easily when people do stupid crap, mainly tailgating or leaving thier brights on. One that got the better of me here recently was when we were driving at night and this lady (or should I say girl, she was in her teens) was literally less than 5 feet off my bumper with her brights on driving down the highway at 55-60mph. She kept flashing her lights too, although she could have passed me numerous times. I even slowed up to get her to pass a couple times. Then after a few brake checks she didn't get the hint. I sped up to 20mph over the speed limit to gain some distance from her. She got right back on my tail. This was intentional, not just stupidity. After being blinded for 25 miles of this crap we got to town. First parking spot I saw I pulled over and let her pass and pulled right back out and got behind her. She knew exactly what I was doing after I got behind her and she led me all over the alleys in town trying to lose me. After she got back out on the highway she thought it was game over and tried to outrun me. Her little Ford Focus didn't stand a chance against my Cobalt and I followed her the same way she followed me and I even pulled up beside her a couple times when we had two lanes to yell at her for an inconsiderate *word I can't say here*. I followed her all the way to her home, which is only a couple miles from our house. After she pulled into her driveway I spun my tires and left. I don't know her name, but I see her around town a lot and she has yet to tailgate me again. Hopefully she has learned that its very rude and dangerous.

    I know what you mean about stupid people. Working in security, I see them sometimes (less now that I do security for a major company, but I work nights and that's when the crazies seem to come out).

    No sir, you can't park here. The reason why is that this is private parking for the employees that work in this building. You don't work here, thus, you cannot park here. Sir, I am not budging on this issue. Where are you supposed to park now? Well, considering that there's a Lowes with a nice big parking lot RIGHT across the street... I couldn't tell you.

    Yes, the ATM in the building is inaccessable while construction is going on. No, I am not going to let you into the building in another door to get to it. What are you supposed to do now? Well, finding a different ATM would probably be smart. You don't want to pay the fees of a different one? Are you really so cheap that you won't pay a buck fifty?

    *Headdesk* Some people are just plain stupid. And need to learn respect. And I REALLY hate when people start trying to yell at me when I'm doing my job. I'm security, it's my JOB to not let you on the complex or in the building if you don't work here.

    The government totally needs to make a standardized test out there, and you have to pass if you want to ever have kids.

    ... And Common Courtesy and Decency need to be one part of it.

    As well as Not Being An :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r:.

    This would solve SOOOO many problems in the long run.

    Sometimes the dipthongs don't have things quite their own way.

    Keep your temper in check, you don't want to get in trouble after so much effort to avoid it.
