Actually...they didn't get in my face...just pushed my buttons, and I didn't push back

Major pet peeve, fitting for the past two day's driving conditions of thick fog...

Idiots that do not drive w/ their headlights on.

But they don't need the headlights to see!

(psst.... they are morons and must be eliminated!)

Response 1: Maybe it's good that you didn't let them know they pushed your buttons

Response 2: If you don't let them know that button-pushing is unacceptable, then they may feel free to push away. That's something that kind of ticks me off about humans sometimes.

Yea, that is true - but, not at the expense of creating situations where I and/or those that I care for. There have been numerous wrecks this morning, schools are closed, can see from 10' to 200'. Buddy from work, for example, came w/in 10' of semi broadswiping him as it ran a red light. A white car in front of me w/o lights on that was crawling VERY slowly could not be seen until 15' behind it.

From the news desk...

Heavy fog brought northeast Indiana to a slow crawl on Wednesday morning. Several school districts were delayed, and many closed.
A combination of high humidity and cooler temperatures overnight brought in the fog, and temps were cold enough to freeze many roads.
An early morning accident on US 30, near State Road 101, closed 30 for about 3 hours when three semi trucks collided. Two of the drivers suffered only minor injuries. There were dozens of minor accidents all over the area.

Fog is really bad to drive in ....i have had one or two nasty experiences in fog

Yes, this is the type of person that doesn't see he pushes buttons...and he can tell I react to it inside....so of course it is my fault because I react . I have been honest with him in the past and it hurt his feelings ...Maybe this is just payback.

I will eat it this time...but if he keeps it up, his feelings are going to get hurt again

So you're not allowed to react or he gets his feelings hurt? But it's OK for you to get your feelings hurt?

He has no more right to go around unhurt than you do. It's kind of retarded to expect someone to not react when they're hurt just because they don't know how to deal with their own guilt of hurting someone.

Did that make sense?

Here's MY question: How can you NOT know to turn on your low-beam lights in the fog? Wasn't that like, Chapter 1 of driver's ed?

I agree, but I am kindof a third party (it is a friend of Genes)...the guy is really indirect with a hidden agenda toward Gene...I guess I am over-reactive to him because I sense this. He has hurt Gene in the past, and I feel him on the move again .
I level with Gene and tell him what I see, but he is loyal to the guy. So when he calls here, and gets me on the line...well...it is hard for me to hide my feelings of disdain.
And I think he gets nervous and says stupid things that really P---- me off, and I want to go off....and did a little this week...and I stopped in the middle of it....I think i should just mind my own business
One thing that really bugs me is that he told Gene if anything ever happens to Gene, he would help me out ...I really don't like this guy buttin' in to our personal life. And he weirds me out talking like that.

Oh I see, Gabriel. So lashing out at him would have repercussions beyond whatever sort of relationship you have.

All I can say is that.... you are such a good & kindhearted person. And I hope that wins out in the end without putting too much stress on you.

Writing the word "talk" by hand.

I always want to put the < thing on the l instead of making another line to make the k. It always winds up looking like "tak".

And then the thing is, I always catch myself even as I'm doing it but when I try to stop, I just wind yup screwing up the whole word trying to re-add the l or something... thus I waste five seconds when I could be finishing my sentence.

I really just hate writing anything by hand. I generally think faster than I can write with any clarity, so my handwriting is crappy. I have not written an essay or report in longhand since probably third or fourth grade, save for tests. Even rough drafts normally.

Another pet peeve: teachers who insist that "rough drafts must be handwritten, never typed." That's a load of crap, honestly. If it's a legible, viable rough draft, should it matter whether it's written or typed? Typed is way easier to read anyway (especially if you're reading my essay.) I hate trying to think out a story or essay or letter on paper, because it's too slow. And plus, you waste a crapload of time transcribing the essay from paper to computer when you are done with the draft. There's no point. I don't understand that logic. It's backward.

You can always pretend you were saying "thanks" in Norwegian

I agree, that makes no sense and would drive me crazy....all that erasing

I let Gene know my feelings about him, and that I don't appreciate his snidenes...he is totally willing to lose the guy...but that's not fair to Gene.
They have known each other for over 30 years. longer than I have been in the picture. There is only one of his friends that I banished And I let him back anyway after about 4 years...and that is in 20 years of being together
