When I bid a job, then my dick ass service advisor sells the parts but not the labor. so far he has cost me 7 hours this week. I just dont know what the hell he is thinking.

Tonight I was trying to parallel park my car, clearly slowing down, with my turn signal on, when I come to a stop and put it in reverse I notice a young female driver had pulled right up on my bumper. The car behind her had stopped far enough back to let her back out of the way and let me quick pull in and park, but instead she waits until the next lane was open and then proceeds to honk at me and quick swing around me giving me a dirty look. I guess brake lights and the turn signal weren't enough warning for her

I'm surprised this hasn't become more of a bad driver bashing thread.

I could write for hours about stupid things people do that amaze me, but it's the random acts of kindness and selflessness that actually amaze me more. We get bombarded with news about so many stupid, selfish people every minute of every day (the latest that really made me sad was the guy who proposed to his 17 year old girlfriend at Chilis just a few weeks after his 5 year old daughter disappeared, WTF?) that I often forget that there are good people out there...

Saw one today....

At my local fast food morning stop...(cough cough Mickey D's cough cough) I was waiting in line at the drive thru during change over. This is where they change from breakfast to lunch and service times generally slow down. I live that. 12 minutes in line yesterday, but I digress.

Today, a car whips out from behind me and pulls alongside another car in line. They proceed to have a conversation, while the second car is at the speaker!! 4 minutes, a couple of hinks and an FU, she finally pulled away so the guy could place his order.

Uh, hello? ever heard of a cell phone?

The 40 year-old manager of one of our local Mickey D's recently won the Ray Kroc award for managerial excellence. His quote in the paper: "I can say I did it, I reached the top."
Dude, your primary competition was teen-agers, and it's an award from fricking McDonald's, not a Nobel prize!

I can say from experience as a former retaurant manager that it is not an easy job. It's especially not easy to do it well. I applaud anyone who does a job and does it well no matter what line of work they're in. Were not all Nobel Prize winners.
