What is wrong with people?

[JamieH]

I feel ya. I'm trying to go to medical school, but the closer I get to it the more doubtful I get about whether or not I want to help EVERYBODY since there seems to be an epidemic of stupidity. But then I have to remember that people like your minivan guy still exist and they deserve to be treated well.

If it makes you feel any better, my car decided not to completely engage its e-brake on an incline in a parking garage and haphazardly rolled backwards into the guardrail today. smashed my light and made some happy little gouges where the wire of the fence rubbed it and dislodged the bumper cover.. To top it off I had a cop following me the whole way home.. but at least he didn't try to pull me over.

Hope tomorrow goes better for you guys!

There really is, I mean I just dont understand people....and I agree, there needs to be more people like minivan guy, granted I saw his face during the exchange and I think he was just flat out shocked at the situation...

Oooo, that sucks about your car =/ Hopefully you have good insurance,
and thank you, I hope it does too, although Bob has to go to work tomaro which stinks...

I feel for you. I encountered similar once from someone who was offended by my bumper sticker with the name of the sportsmen's club I belonged to, where we went to massacre paper targets and metal spinners. In my case a trooper pulled up, asked what the problem was, and after listening in a suitably bored fashion while the idiot ranted shooed the offender on her way.

Any more, I don't respond to asshats.

1) I know that I'm outnumbered. They are Legion for they are many.

2) A snake or an opossum is about as low as I'll go on the I.Q. chart to try to teach good manners.

3) Life is too short to waste interacting with the intentionally ignorant.

4) I don't want to be reminded of and begin to complicate the implications of these being members of my own species.

5) Most importantly, I can't change them. After 55 years, I know a lost cause when I see it. I've got better things to do with my time.

Ah, you make very many good points!

I mean, dont get me wrong, this guy had me so angry I was out of the car before it was even stopped all the way...and I may be a 19 year old girl, but Ive been in my share of "altercations" and Ive managed to restrain myself for about 3 years..but that guy had my blood boiling....and it takes alot to do that, Ive become a very patient person in my last 2 HS years. Today I almost lost it, and that guy would have been in a world of hurt. I mean he wasnt threatening me, but he was threatening my fiance...and thats a bad decision. So I went to cross the road ( a little before Bob did) and pull this dude out of his window. Thinking about it now, Im glad he left before I got there because I dont want to be that person anymore.
