I think a lot of you guys are wound too tight. I deal with tightly wound people every day on the phone. As a rule, they come from places like SoCal, Phoenix, Atlanta, NJ, etc.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I get the feeling that if someone politely asked if they could cut in front of you for a quick moment, like confirming postage, you would allow them to do so.
if not, my apologies.

I had another Larry David experience about six yrs. ago in Dallas. Remember the one where he wants to go to Jack In the Box, but his Prius had a flat? It was late and only the drive-thru was open and so he stood between the cars. But he wasn't allowed to order on foot, so he got another driver to let him in the passenger seat to order.
I did exactly this with a co-worker after some heavy drinking. We were so hungry and got in line on foot at a Jack In the Box. Same thing - they told us we had to be in a car and so we went to each driver with some space to ask. One very large woman in a pickup truck took us. We paid for her meal and had her drive us back to the bar.

Sounds kind of like Bobcat Goldthwait on speed in my head, at least.

Re: the comment about buddies' annoying wives — aren't they all? Every one of me mates that got married ended up with a beotch. Of course that will remind you of the drummer boy in the band joke. Yep, I must be the one in step while the entire band is out of step. ![]()

I really like Rick's stories! Why? Because they remind me of so many things that happen to me, and he always describes perfectly the feeling I get after each one of them. Really, so many of these can be summed up as "WTF?" The close lockers, the parking, the post office, and many others. Just, "what the heck is wrong with people" puzzling kind of feeling!!!

Rick-I think I had a moment that should have been yours on the way home tonight...
Entering the freeway(4 lane, divided) heading home I noticed the Subaru Outback in front of me didn't seem to be accelerating to merge very fast. I just backed off the go pedal a bit and figured to just follow it and merge as one unit of 2 cars. I look closer and the driver(female) is looking in her rearview mirror fixing her hair...........merging onto a 70MPH freeway! We were literally moving about 40MPH and I had no where to go now. I was stuck behind them for about a 1/4 mile as the cars doing the speed limit would come up behind and then have to quickly dodge us. I finally saw my moment and passed them. As I did, I couldn't help but give the driver "STEVE-O" thumb's up gesture. Both females in the car gave me the finger. Happy Friday, Bitc@#$! Yes, they looked smokin' hot but obviously did not have a clue as how to merge.
