I think I probably would have laughed regardless. I mean, how embarrassing for her, to make such a stink over obviously nothing, waste everyone's time, and then have it exposed as a childish plow. And with you little girl in tow? Pathetic. I don't think I could have kept a straight face.
Dropped an f-bomb with your daughter in the car??? You must have been pretty upset, didn't think you had it in you.
I can't stand the prima Donna's that walk down the middle of the lane, or cross diagonally longways, as if holding everyone up somehow makes them feel important. And then they unload their cart and leave it sitting there behind someone else's car.
For those reasons, and to avoid door dings, I park off to the sides in empty areas. Avoids all the above and keeps my car purty.
Oh, and... Bago's got a gun. The whole world's come undone
I had an 'situation' where we were in a small town and I was driving up "Main Street" and this lady and her small son were walking 2 walkers with infants in each one. And they were right in the middle of the street. At this particular area there wasn't a sidewalk and I figured my time wasn't so precious that I couldn't be patient, even if I didn't agree with how she was going about her little walk.

Yeah. I immediately regretted it. It's not the first time I've cussed in front of my daughter. When she's not in the car I can curse like a sailor, but when she's with me I really try to put a lid on it.
I suppose it was the combination of her standing in front of my car continuing to harangue me, then keeping it up as I drove by. I believe I said something like, "Get the bomb out of the way." There's worse, but still.
Man, I spent the entire weekend arguing and debating with cops and former cops. They're family and I love them, but geez...I really hope some of the stuff they were saying was just machismo to try to impress the other cops or something.

Laughing and bragging about breaking a suspect's ribs after he was cuffed, tasering a guy following a foot chase even though the guy gave up the chase and laid down without resisting, driving 100 mph on the freeway while off-duty because they have the brass pass, etc., etc., etc. Apparently, they don't like being called on that BS by someone who has "never been in that position" and "can't know what it's like," which are about the lamest excuses I can imagine.

Something wrong with people like that. Bago, don't be one of those guys.

Authority is abused all the time. When you feel like you're untouchable, some people do whatever they want. It's human nature.
You don't have to look too far to see examples of this.

But there are laws to protect us from such blatant abuses right? I really hope, like Art said, that is was just a thick laying on of the machismo.
