School bus...The one in my neighborhood used to stop at every freakin house, AND wouldn't give give cars the opportunity to go around at any point either.

The driver would stop with the little sign out so you couldn't go round, then after the kid got on immediately pull out driving down the middle of the street to the next house no matter how many cars were lined up behind. I finally got very impatient and shot around as soon as she started rolling again. Am sure that pissed her off. A few days later I got a letter that she had reported me for passing a stopped school bus while kids were loading. I fired a letter right back explaining I was all for kids safety but this driver was stopping a every house along a 1/2 mile long street and not providing any opportunity for cars to pass. And how that was making it unsafe for the kids because after 3 or 4 stops drivers lose their patience especially if they were trying to get to work on time. The next time I got behind the school bus she not only provided an opportunity for cars go around after the kids got on, she was making a LOT fewer stops.


I do not co-sign for anyone. My credit is already extended so far it would not help if I did (at least that's my story). My Dad always told me that if I needed someone to cosign, I was extending myself too much and needed to find something cheaper I could get without a cosigner.

I also never loan money to anyone. I will however give money to someone that really needs it if I can afford to give the amount away. I then tell them it is a gift, that I am happy I can afford to help them, and paying it back is their option. Everyone always says they will pay it back. And of all the people I have gifted money to like that only one relative never paid me back. I, of course, can never seem to afford any amount he asks for now. He just always seems to ask only when I am strapped for cash.
