Why People Are So ANGRY and Restless These Days!

You guys!!! :D

I agree , and another thing; when these POS get out of prison, the families are supposed to be notified...too often, they are not, and then they are sitting ducks for the perp - again. Makes me sick. :mad:
 
Now, speaking of angry . . .

Encountered a very unprofessional and rude cop, last night. Came upon an accident scene after midnight on the way home. Couldn't see if the road was closed or what was going on. Rolled down my window and waited for some direction. Finally, this jerk strolls up shining his light in my face and starts yelling at me. I CALMLY asked if the road was closed. He started screaming, "Can you get through? You see my car? You see those flashing lights? NO! You cannot get through!" I calmly replied, "You don't need to be like that." He stuttered and stammered and told me to back up. It was very, very dark on a little winding country road in the mountains and would have been safer to not back up, but rather turn around. I asked if I could just pull up a bit in order to turn around and he started screaming, again, "BACK UP! BACK UP!" As I slowly and carefully backed hoping I didn't hit something or drive off the cliff, I (calmly, again) said, "You're a PRICK!" and drove off.

I know some of you have loved ones who serve or have served as police officers and I'm sure they were much better than this asshole. I don't want to hear anything about how tough his job is. That's crap. He should be professional and should have politely told me, "Sir, the road is closed," and even helped my turn around as other officers have done in similar situations.

Anyone vote for well-needed Anger Management Training for this creep? Bet he goes home and beats his wife and kids...
 

Did you get his name at all TG, as that is unacceptable conduct. I would report him they will know who it was.
Yes the job is very tough but there is no need for sheer rudeness as all you were doing was asking a question.

Plenty of jerks to go around TG, and yes, anger management is a must for that creep, if he doesn't beat his wife and kids, I'm sure he'll kick the dog. You're lucky he didn't slam you to the ground and cuff you. :rolleyes:

It was very dark and with his light in my face couldn't see his badge. After driving off, wished I had gotten his name and number so I could report him. But, as Seabreeze pointed out . . . he would have gladly beat me on the head and dragged me away to reeducation camp . . .

Too bad Jon and Ponch weren't there - they would have been very polite, I'm sure.
 
I see the anger in seniors as well. Some of which I blame on over or under medical treatment. I think there has been a generation or two of people or patients that have come to expect a pill for anything that ails them. Throw in alcohol and recreational drugs and off goes the rocket. With the young crowd I see people talking a million miles per hour wanting instant gratification with limited ability to focus or concentrate. A lot of young kids think they should be in a continuous state of gratification as well. When things don't go their way: good bye!

The seniors I know have always had an attitude at times but they are really chippy now(no filter if you will). With numerous medical conditions you don't know what they are getting for medications. I still think seniors frequently act like a reflection of their younger selves wether it's attitude, interests, mindset etc. If a senior is chippy now I venture to guess they had their fair share of fights as a kid & teenager. Maybe even a juvenile delinquent. After seeing family stories play out on talk/reality tv sometimes things click as to why people acted the way they did.
