Unbelievable

You're right Krr re: can't control others. However, I'm not making a big thing out of it and I have moved on. I just wanted those who "had such a negative" opinon about CBlue and her feelings, to know the whole story. The end result is the guy is a jerk. So don't sound so harsh about it (i.e. move on, suck it up, forget). You sound annoyed!!!!! And thank GOD my parents did teach me how to be courteous or else my response may have gone a different way.

Sorry CBlu for not finding the site earlier, but I'm glad now that I found it so I can respond. Enough is enough...let me set the record straight for some of you. I was the "other" person in this van with CBlue and "Mr. Not Helpful". When the woman pulled up to the commuter lot, she "did" state that she was having some difficulty with her van but felt she could make it home. Mr. Not Helpful had his opportunity at that point and time to refuse the ride, but he didn't. The whole ride down HOV, he was squirmish, kept looking over the drivers shoulder and making snide remarks under his breath, which I heard. He made a call from his cell phone and was making derrogatory remarks about the situation. Like I said, he had an opportunity to refuse the ride. And...the point of the matter is that he knew the driver from riding with her "several" times before. The driver knew practically his family history. Anyway, his face turned beet red because of his frustration. To me, he should have never got in the car. Before the van could come to a complete stop he "ordered" me to let him out of the van (I wish I could have let him out around the mixing bowl). And at that point I told him I was HAPPY to let him out. Now, let's get to the "waving" down issue. Not only did he waive someone down, the person he waived down was in some time of "official" police-like vehichle....flashing lights and everything. And NO, that person didn't offer any assistance either. Now let's get to the point...if this person read the "slug etiquettes", you're not suppose to leave the vehicle anyway.....perhaps because you might get hit by speeding cars!!!! You think!!! The actually point of the matter is that this person just didn't care about anyone but himself. I totally understand if he had to get home for WHATEVER reason....he could have just said, "look ladies, I'm sorry I can't help you or stay here with you because I need to get home"....THAT'S what COMMON COURTESY is all about. That's what our parents taught us. So for all of you who think that CBlu is being judgmental, you're wrong or either you don't understand what it means to just be COURTEOUS. How would YOU feel if that WHOLE situation happened to you or to your wife and kid?? You would hope that someone would have the common decency to at least say I can or cannot help you.....not just bail out WITHOUT UTTERING ONE SINGLE WORD!!! Oh, one more thing....pray that if you ever pick up this person and you "happen to have car trouble"......need I say more!

Real mature! But you may want to trade in some of those extra commas you have for some politeness and class because it sounds like you could use some.

SUCHALADIE: I go back to my origional point that saying this is a case of bad manners may be true, however you can condem the person until you know why he left when he did. Many points were brought out by other peopel saying they would not have stayed also.

How does this relate to the context of this string? I also believe you missed the point. Nothing you said is wrong. It is just not germaine to the context of the discussion. Perhaps you can find another website to address your matter.

I'm sorry that some people feel that we should just except that people don’t all ways do the right thing or behave in the right manner.[V] I could and would expect that from a person who may have been educated in another country or have a different back ground but as my daughter once said to me as we watched grown adults cut in line at an exit.[:(] She said mommy did these people not go to school? I said why you ask me that honey she said they could not have gone to school because in school they teach us to wait our turn in line and not to cut in -front of other people. Did they not teach that to them? What was I to answer[?] That grown adult don't have to follow the very rules that we teach our children. So I say to you what I said to her, don't you have that one person in class that does not follow the rules? She said yes.... I said that is the same child that grows up and still never follows the rules.[:0] Then my daughter said do the continue to get in trouble and my answer to her was yes they do[:)] until other people start making excuse then that lets them off the hook.[:(]
