TOAK, The Thread of All Knowledge Part X
I absolutely believe it, Russ.
How about this one? Last night I run out to the store. As I get near my house there is a black Silverado going very slowly....stop directly in front of my house and a female gets out. Stands in the middle of the street, pickup pulls forward across the end of my driveway...I sit still for a few moments and the driver sticks his arm out to motion me around. Uh, moron, you're blocking my drive.
I am watching the female walk up to the house directly across the street and now my 'what in hell' sensor is pegging. Another vehicle behind me squeezes around to the left and again the Silverado guy motions for me to go around. Uh, no.
I now have my weapon in hand. I flash my headlights and Silverado pulls up just enough for me to get in my drive. I pull up, hit the garage door remote and pull in. I am out of the truck, weapon at the ready when both of them start up my drive.
We didn't mean to alarm you, we are looking for a lost dog. Yeah, right.
I tell 'em...I am armed and will shoot you. I have made note of the license on your truck. Get the eff off my drive and get your *** out of this neighborhood.
Fellers, never let your guard down.

Ya think Bob is the type that can fall in a bucket of **** and find a pony?

Translation-"We're porch pirates looking for good **** that you folks order"
Morning Mick, Russ, et al.
Clean livin Mick. Clean livin.
I'm sure your instincts were correct Mick. The difference between being a victim or not often comes down to situational awareness. It astounds me how many people lack that in this day and age.
I'm curious - how did that conversation go? Did they look surprised and git, or have they had that talk before and simply walked away like it was just another day at work.
Agreed.
(edit - I mixed all of the above up and had to fix. Too much Vodka last night and not enough coffee this morning. Vacation and all)
