Another one: I was at a loading dock getting some construction supplies. Guys next to me were all disorganized (typical for construction) and unloading some demo debris in order to put some plywood or drywall in their truck and ostensibly put the junk back in.

I pulled out in the middle of this fracas and backed just over the edge of a 2x4 with nails sticking out and up just right to go through the sidewall of my rear tire. I had to buy a tire to go to work. Fortunately there was a tire shop really close. I didn't have a full size spare for that particular vehicle so driving to my job pulling a trailer was not happening.

To say that I was out-of-control angry would be about right. I had to bite it or be in trouble. There were far more labor types, if you get my drift, than just one older dude who would not have won the fight. Probably the way I am is because of all the stupid, ignorant low life people that one has to deal with in construction. It only got worse with time, as did I.
