Reminds me of the time that I just got my Formula Firebird out of the body shop with fresh paint over the entire rear end. It was parked in a perfectly protected spot in front of my tire shop and some jackhole decided that my rear bumper would be a perfect place to plant his fat a$$ and smoke a cigarette. I walked over (still carrying the tire iron that was conveniently in my hand when I noticed him) and told him that this was not his living room that dam sure wasn't his couch, and he needed to get off my car with a quickness. He moved and hadn't done any damage, but looked amazed that somebody would be pissed that he was sitting on their car. WTF is wrong with people?
Oh so many stories of stupid people from that shop. If you have ever had a job working with the general public you get a first hand look at what's out there - it's scary...

My neighbor is not the brightest cat in the world. He is the Super in the apartment building next door. He has several people(freeloaders) staying with him. Well, him and another waste of space decides to play catch with a baseball in the front yard. Mind you there is a 1 1/12 acre backyard AND a huge park behind the backyard. But no, they had to throw in the front yard.
Well, law of averages would dictate something would go wrong. Yup, baseball smacked the front fender of my Vette. I went out there and explained how narrow-minded, selfish and stupid it was to throw the ball in the front yard. All he kept saying is "I'm sorry" about a billion and a half times. He would also pay for any damages if any occured. I explained how he couldn't afford to have it fixed. Luckily, I didn't see anything right away. I will do a closer inspection tonite.
What pissed me off even more is that HE got defensive and tried to bow up to me.
Uh, no.
I just want to know why there are so many ignorant people in this world. What ever happened to common sense?
Sorry, just had to vent.

It's sad that people just can't use any common sense. Whether it was a Corvette or not, just plain stupid to throw a ball that close to any vehicle.

My philosophy:
Everyone should be entitled to kill ONE person (choose wisely). You have to get a stamp...like deer hunting. You should also wear a pin or patch that reads: "I haven't killed mine, yet".
Maybe if people worried about pissing off someone who "hasn't killed theirs, yet", they would think twice about what they are doing.

I was washing my stable of cars over the weekend, and had the Vet and Tahoe on my RV ( other half of my drive way ) when the neighbor kid thought it would be fun to weave in and out of my cars on his bike. I asked very nice to please not ride his bike in my driveway around my cars. Next thing I know I have to cops at my house asking why I was making threats to a child. Very very sad world. I have a 3 Year old daughter and I would knock someone out if they down talked my kid I would never do it to someone elese kid!!

I hope you informed said kid's parents that the little dweeb is no longer allowed on your property. I'd have gone ballisitic over that sort of B.S.
