What is wrong with people?

[JamieH]

Well, today Bob had to go to philly for school. ok. fine, it was just hot as poop.

So he came home and got his jeep keys to go get his car from tunkhannock and I decided I wanted to go to. cool.

We get there and someone STOLE his license plate. WTF. So he calls the Staties and fills out a report for a stolen plate blah blah. and gets an affidavit from the trooper that he can drive the car without the plate, ( in other words if he gets pulled over for not having a plate he was to give the officer the name and number of the trooper to him.)

OK, so we get that straightned out and head to BK for food, and they FORGOT Bobs straw...on the hottest day of the year. sure, fine, dandy.

So were on the way home and some crazy, stupid idiot comes flyin up behind us with his high beams on ( but its still light out) and trys to cut us off on the drivers side and starts screamin "oh what you think you're a tough guy drivin without a license plate?!?!?!" and all kinds of other nasty and just flat out rude things. OK THATS COOL.

So we keep goin and we have to stop at another stop sign and he pulls up on my side screamin, so we pull over and we both get out, so Im screamin at this stupid ass and so is Bob and this guy thinks hes all tough sayin hes gonna beat our ass or something, so Bob starts walkin over and he flips us the bird and speeds away.

But Bob got the stupid morons license plate and has a report against him too. So haha to that guy, If you were such a tough guy why did you drive away like a little :cens0r:? Because Im tellin you, if you were actually man enough to get out of your car.,...you would have had a really bad day, just because you had to open your mouth and be tough.

Ok so then this guy that was behind the crazy guy, hes in a minivan, he pulls next to us and was all nice like "Do ya need anything, you guys alright?" So its nice to know that there are some normal/nice people still in the world.

But seriously....like WTF is with people? What is your problem? Is your life so boring you have to pretend to be someone your not and try to be cool and/or badass? GET OVER YOURSELF.




Sorry, had to rant. Its been a difficult day.

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!

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.

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...

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.

I know how you feel! We must have some the WORST drivers in world here. Our taxi drivers think they're on the set of Top Gun for cars, since they drive like fighter pilots. And don't forget the people in BMW's that have a certificate of ownership of every stretch of road in the country, I mean seriously how dare you drive in front of them in a Mazda or a Ford....

Sadly from your post it seems the increasing numbers of sub standard people is a global problem not just a local one...

Its terrible, I mean theres just no respect anymore. anywhere. and I dislike it very much...I mean there was really no reason for him to be like that, he knew nothing about the situation, so why did he feel the need to be a lunatic? I dont know, I think that were going to become hermits and not leave our mountain lol. And we're seriously thinking about moving to Australia.

[Jared2608]

Ha Ha, I know a few people who moved to Australia!

[PitOnTheProwl]

Its something in the water OR injections in our meats???
I must be immune to it because all I see are stupid people, sometimes I wish I was as moronic as them so I wouldnt have to stress about all the idiotic crap I see them do

[Jared2608]

Couldn't have said it better!

[JamieH]

Haha exactly. As I think about it I hope that the crazy guy has never bred, we would reallllly be in trouble.
