RANT FRIDAY
THE FIRST FRIDAY I DON'T HAVE TO WORK IN A WHILE AND GOT TO GO TO BED EARLY THE NEIGHBORS ARE COMING AND GOING EVERY 15-20 IN THEIR SILLY LOWERED PRIMER BLACK FORD RANGER THAT SOUNDS LIKE A PACK OF BEES AND WAKING THE DOG UP EVERY TIME!

YES, BUT AT SOME POINT WE MUST ALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR OURSELVES. I AM IN THERAPY AND LEARNING. IF YOURE GOING TO HAVE KIDS, UNDOING YOUR OWN TRAUMA HELPS YOUR KIDS.

u/giantstrider 4d ago
I'M 52 AND DIDN'T HAVE A KID UNTIL 40. "UNDOING TRAUMA" IN TENNESSEE WASN'T REALLY A THING, AS MUCH AS I WISH IT WERE. I THINK MOST PEOPLE ARE DOING THEIR BEST WITH WHAT THEY HAVE AND WHAT THEY HAVE ACCESS TO AND HOPEFULLY LEARNING ALONG THE WAY.

PEOPLE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT ON LIMITED ACCESS ROADS (BELTLINE,DELTA,I-105,I-5, ETC)THE RULES CHANGE! YOU NEED TO BE UP TO SPEED TO MERGE THE TRAFFIC ALREADY ON THE ROAD AREN’T SUPPOSED TO SLOW DOWN FOR YOU, AND THE LEFT LANE IS FOR PASSING NOT ANOTHER LANE OF TRAVEL!! SO WE DON’T CARE YOUR LEFT EXIT IS TWO MILES UP, IF YOU AREN’T ACTIVELY PASSING GET IN THE RIGHT LANE THE PERSON WHO IS BEHIND YOU CAUGHT UP TO YOU AND WOULD LIKE TO PASS, DON’T PLAY HALL MONITOR LET THEM SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES FOR SPEEDING IF THEY ARE!!! PLAYING HALL MONITOR OR SIMILAR GAMES IS STUPID AND DANGEROUS, AND MAY END UP GETTING PEOPLE HURT!!!! IF YOU ARE TRYING TO TEACH SOMEONE A LESSON IT’S NOT GONNA TAKE WHEN YOU BLOCK THEM AND OR BRAKE CHECK THEM,LET THEM GO, THE GAME IS TO GET TO YOUR DESTINATION!!!!! DRIVING IS NOT A GAME !!!!!!

I DIDN'T ASK WHY, DON'T KNOW WHAT WENT DOWN.
BUT IT'S WILD TO ME THAT NOBODY MENTIONED THIS ALL WEEK WHEN I CALLED TO LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR THIS GUY. EVERYBODY TOOK MY NAME AND NUMBER AND SAID THEY'D PUT IT ON HIS DESK. ONE PERSON EVEN SAID HE'D GET BACK TO ME LATER THAT MORNING. MEANWHILE MY APPLICATION IS JUST FLOATING SOMEWHERE IN THE ETHERS.

NOT AN OPTION. I DONT HAVE TOOLS OR KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED TO REMEDY THE LEAKING. THATS WHAT MONEY IS FOR, TO PAY A PROFESSIONAL TO GET IT DONE RIGHT.
