Citizens arrest stupid people? How to do it?

[NPloysa]

That's what I wanted to do to a guy yesterday, for being a complete rude moron!!!



MacKenzie and I went to Big Bills NY Pizza over on Holly and County line in whatever city it's considered (Centennial?).



We get out of the Audi and I notice this guy and his 3 kids climbing out of a lifted F-250 6. 0 CC shorty. He is parked on the side of the building and not in a parking spot.



He messes around in his truck while Mack and I walk in. His kids, about 4, 7, and 12 probably, go in first while he is still doing something in the truck.



Mack and I WAIT to be be seated, because there is a sign in the middle of the aisle stating that. Host seats us, gives us menus, silverware, napkins, takes our drink order, says waiter will be right over.



Meanwhile, these kids ignore the sign and sit down. The father walks right past the "PLEASE WAIT TO BE SEATED" sign and sits with them. Our waiter comes over and Mack and I order some breadsticks. I mean come on, if you're an adult, at least ask your kids if the host sat them, or if they just walked in and sat themselves. Don't assume the host sat them and forgot everything.



The breadsticks come out and the Moron (yes, capital M Moron) says to the waiter in a rude tone, "Yeah, does anybody work here???"



The family does not have menus, silverware, napkins and the host didn't even assign them a table. Host comes out, takes the drink order. Moron blurts out, "And we need a large cheese pie. "



Mind you, the host doesn't take the food orders, he takes the drink order. The waiter takes the food orders. Waiter comes over, sees that they blatantly didn't read the sign, so he scrambled to get the drinks, menus and silverware. Well, they don't need menus now, since they already ordered



So anyway, Mack and I enjoy our food and they eat their pie. They get up two minutes before us. The kids are getting gumballs and the Moron is reading something on the wall, BLOCKING THE EXIT DOOR!



Mack says loudly, "Excuse me!" and we leave. We get ready to go and notice the Moron is parked in the fire lane. I guess he thought fires don't happen on Sundays.



I just wanted to go knock him out. Many strikes against him too.



1) Drives a 6. 0

2) Parked in a fire lane

3) Can't read seating signs

4) Blocked the door

5) Rude and can't follow simple restaurant courtesy



And to top it off, the youngest boy was wearing an oversize Harley Davidson shirt. Anyone else see a trend of Ford/Harleys like I do?



Man, if I would have know this joker Moron was parked in the fire lane when I went in, I would have called the fire department on him.



Next time I am bringing a taser and some heavy duty zip ties for people like this.



Nick. Thanks for letting me rant!

Shoulda went outside while he was eating his pie and taken the valves out of his spare tire under the bed and front tires and then go back inside and order up some desert for the show... ...

People like that bred the expression "Ugly American"

Well, you said he drove a Ford-- I assumed all the rest that you posted before I even read it

Nick,



I think you just didn't realize that the world revolves around him. The problem is, there are way too many people like that these days.

NPloysa, I bet there was smoke coming out of your ears when you typed that. Huh?

 

[TSpecht]

Next time you see somebody parked in the fire lane report it to the local constabulary. I'm sure they'd show up and write a ticket. It's not all that entertaining as a way to get back at idiots, but anything one can do to make their life a little less pleasant can be a rewarding feeling. Like the crowd of bicycles I had to pass on the road today because they felt the need to occupy an entire lane. They even had the arrogance to force a semi to go all the way into the other lane to pass them. I need to bomb my truck so I can engulf idiots like that in a cloud next time I see them.

I'd have not had any tolerance at all in such a situation, and it irks me when people don't play by the rules, so I think I'd have said something to the waiter or the host, and see if I could have them relocated. Barring that, I think I'd have made it known that they are being obnoxious. If not saying it directly to them, then saying it to the party I'm with. Rude idiots deserve to be ridiculed.

If anybody has a sure fire cure for rehabilitating selfish and otherwise annoying people I'm open to suggestions.

Just out of curiosity, what rule did those bicyclists break? They're not allowed on Interstates, but they most likely have the same rights to other roads that you do. Please correct me if that's wrong. Of course, when you smoke a bunch of bicyclists, you aren't doing the reputations of our trucks any good at all. I agree with the rest of your post though.

 

[CSnyder]

I agree with Tspecht about how bicycle riders are mostly arrogant and inconsiderate. I live in country that is very hilly and curvy and on several occasions I have had near death experiences because of these jerks. Recently I was running down a 8% hill with a load of farm equipment pushing me down and I come around a blind corner (BTW... there are absolutely no shoulders... river and RR tracks on one side and a rock wall on the other) and low and behold there is 4 guys pedaling a** down the middle of the road and I have a semi coming at me in the other lane, and he is making speed to climb the hill, and here I am with only about 100 feet to get slowed to their speed of 5 mph. All the time I am laying on my horn to warn them and they just keep going and never turn around to look even and they could easily move off to the rock wall and make just enough room for me, but NO, the dumb a**es just keep at it and I had to follow them for nearly 6 miles at 5 mph because it is way unsafe to pass and traffic is heavy on this stretch of road and LOTS of grain trucks running to the Mississippi terminal to unload. When I finally got around them they give ME the finger for I imagine honking at them most of the way. I make the loop up onto the bridge and all I can see for a few miles back up that stretch of road is bumper to bumper traffic. I am so very pleased with myself for laying on the go pedal after they fingered me and leaving them in my soot cloud. These jerks deserved it!

Then later the same day I come over a hill on a narrow highway and two more of these jerks are riding the middle of the road and I nearly jack knifed my truck and trailer from the braking momentum

It just pisses me off tremendously when I know some of my hard earned money is going to building bike trails all around the country and I have to nearly die because these guys are being inconsiderate of others on the highways. I know most people who ride bikes are not like this but the ones who do sure give the others bad names ( kinda like the guys who smoke for fun and those of us who do it because of power). I drive very safe and never get crazy or road rage ( over 100k a year in my truck towing with NO accidents at fault) and these people really **** me off!

Thanks for letting me rant! Chris

 

[TSpecht]

The rules they break are rules of common sense. I. E. ride on the shoulder, ride single file, get over if traffic is heavy, etc. When they have a rail trail they can ride for 100 miles not more than 20 miles away from where these jerks are riding on the roads, I have no compassion for them taking up an entire lane of traffic. I've seen a few groups of bicyclists (not 100% sure they're the same or not) run stop signs in front of me causing me to hit my brakes, and many other things. They are too ignorant or selfish to realize they must share the roads with everybody else. My interpretation of "share the roads" includes knowing when they need to get the hell off the road for the safety of everybody. Being arrogant enough to not move for an 80000lb+ tractor trailer or even a 7000lb pickup is ridiculous and IMO intolerable. Perhaps they simply don't understand the physics involved if they happen to get hit. They will not get off the road to let people safely get around them if there's oncoming traffic as well.

I had a pedestrian, a jogger coming towards me one day. This jackass has the arrogance to motion for me to go into the other lane... Excuse me? I'm thinking the idiot got to feel a pretty good breeze from my passenger mirror as it wooshed by, and I hope he learned something from it. He could have changed his course slightly towards the ditch a little further without being that arrogant. Hell if he'd have not motioned for me to move over I'd have done it on my own since I could have safely. If the dude was blind (white cane, etc) or handicapped I'd have probably slid over to the other lane as well but last I checked handicapped people don't jog or run very often. Granted it wasn't the smartest thing I could have done looking back on it but arrogant people need to be shown the error of their ways once in a while.

I don't mind so much when farm equipment, etc is being transported at a slow rate of speed, because that is accomplishing something. Namely it means I get to eat because someone is growing things. Bicyclists gain me nothing except grief and sometimes alarm, annoyance and anger when they do stupid and arrogant things.

In terms of smoking people, I'd sure love the extra power too, don't get me wrong that I'm pondering bombing the truck just to make smoke. Then again there are people out there who earn it, IMO by endangering me and others by their actions.

It's my understanding they're supposed to ride single file.

 

[Cummins Pilot]

On Alaskan roads bicycles get the shoulder plus one foot left of the fog line.

What I did to the furd guys cant be topped.



Here it goes.



Several years back we used to have a booth at the Texas Trophy Hunters Extravaganza in Houston. I had my ranch shirt on with my exhitors badge so I guess I looked important.



My wife had never been to the Galleria Mall in Houston so I thought I would take her over for lunch. When I got out to my truck I was blocked in. There was a car in front of me and a "BRAND NEW" with a Louisiana paper plate Ford CC 4x4 PSD. I walked over to the security guard and firmly said "Call me a tow truck"



30 minutes later the Ford was hooked up and gone, and I had a warm fuzzy feeling all over. I could have had the car towed, but it just didnt feel right.

 

[DBogo]

hey hey hey watch it :-laf

 

[loncray]

I haven't ridden much in the past 18 years, but I used to ride all over southern Germany for 2 years, and Wyoming before that. I didn't ride in groups, and Boomer's right that when you do you ought to be single file. I'd have to see exactly what happened with TSpecht to pass any kind of judgment on the cyclists he's mad at. I will say that cyclists have the same right to the road as the pickup or semi - and I thought all the time about the physics of getting hit. There's too much traffic in Northern VA to bike, and I won't let my son bike outside our subdivision.



JNelson, I think you did the exact right thing!

 

[crobertson1]

I HATE, well that's too strong, very much dislike bicyclists. Anyone who has ever driven on 93 between Golden and Boulder, know how these freaks ride right on the white line when they have a 5 or 6 foot wide shoulder to ride in. It drives me nuts. I'll hit one or all of them before I get in a head-on collision with another vehicle, that's for sure. Windshield washers that spray over the side is something that can be used if your truck doesn't smoke, from what I hear. Those mo-rons muct complain and get signs put up that say "share the road". They need to heed that more than most driver's do. They are starting to ride in my neighborhood where there are NO shoulders and blind corners too. Great!

Being I live in a sort of vacation area, (Jersey shore )I see stuff like that all the time.

I just cant wait till they go home at the end of the summer.

If there is a Tourist Season..... why can't we shoot them?

Try being at a boat landing with some people that don't know anything about backing a trailer, let alone boating... ... .

Tourist Season

"If there is a Tourist Season..... why can't we shoot them?"



Aren't they doing that in Houston, and in California already?
