Get a public employee mad for doing a slow job and the cops get called.
8/3/13 | DallasBiff

Posted on 08/03/2013 4:31:18 PM PDT by DallasBiff

I'm a shuttle driver for a hotel near the DFW airport, and in the last year a building program of making new toll plazas on the north and south end has taken place and part of this program has been to build very narrow concrete barriers to enter and exit the DFW airport.

The concrete barrier lanes, makes one feel one is entering or leaving a fortress compound, such as the Berlin Wall. There is only one wide lane for 22 passenger hotel shuttles or semi's, and this lane is not toll tag only meaning that any car may go in the lane, discriminating against vehicles that go into the airport with regularity with a toll tag, such as the vehicle I drive, because there is not an exclusive lane for wide vehicles with Texas toll tags.

I was departing the DFW airport and got caught, in which I believe was a car not having a ticket to depart in the wide lane. I waited four minutes and started to honk to get attention, so that traffic could move, I kept honking, and honking, because I knew I was the only driver on duty for the hotel. I put my vehicle in park, and got of the vehicle, to push my protest of the delay with no avail.

Finally after 12 minutes of waiting the red minivan went through, and I was notified by my radio and by my supervisor that I had been honking and had gotten out of the vehicle to see what was going on in 104 degree heat.

Anyway the DFW toll plaza is a total cluster youknowwhat. It is like a mini Berlin wall and is filled with recent immigrant employees, with rudimentary English, mostly from Africa and the Asian sub-continent.

The place is run by a man named Dean Ahmed, who has no idea about customer service. I have talked to him on the phone, he is your typical arrogant democrat.

Also, by my honking of the bad customer service, I was called into the DFW police who called my hotel, and now I have to suffer the HR director saying, "you don't honk", while she tells us, "to give the best service possible".

I wonder what she will say and look like, when I say,"Shouldn't the DFW parking authority give me the same."

Good Lord FR has been infested with pansies, candy-asses and crybabies.

Go whine to someone else ‘lil fellers because I just don’t care.

If you can’t tell a slow walker from someone who is doing their best then you are an idiot.

Both of you are probably intentional slow walkers too. Maybe you can get some scooters with your government assistance.

Oh. . .”Go whine to someone else ‘lil fellers because I just don’t care.”

But you DO CARE, otherwise you would have ignored us.

But since you DO CARE, and we DO mean that much to you, you simply can’t control your anger.

Eaker, I’m betting your juvenile anger compels you to reply with bile, snark and, yes, anger.

Prove me wrong and don’t reply.

Prove me right by replying.

What will it be, Sunshine?

Talk about Internet tough guys, at least I post with my real name unlike you two.

Blank profile pages too.

LOL, plus it is so much fun to tune up poster like y'all. I don't bump people with my car I make them show their rainbow panties on the Internet. It is more fun.

However, keep in mind if you kick my car you will fix it. That hasn't changed no matter how much you 'lil fellers dial 911.

I win!

Bwahahahaha. . . .you make this too easy.

“Talk about Internet tough guys, at least I post with my real name unlike you two. “

Yup. . you certainly are a tough guy. We are impressed.

Really, truly, most assuredly, we are impressed.

After all, you are a guy that threatens to hit pedestrians crossing the street with your car. That behavior is clearly the very definition of brave and noble and just and manly.

You got us good, for certain and for sure.

Thank you for your comments.

A vast majority of the out of town guests comment negative on the DFW airport toll plazas, and it was all designed by Dean Ahmed.

But don't comment or express your opinion on their poor design, his goons will call the DFW police on you.

Also the DFW airport police have new SUVs, and when they are lit up they look like Christmas trees on speed.

Sad, at one time the DFW Department of Public Safety was one of the best in the nation.

Back in the day, it was one of only two departments in the nation that required a four-year degree and they were the only department in the nation that rotated their officers between duty as a firefighter, EMT and police officer.

They were rated in all three areas and this is where future Department of Public Safety leaders were groomed.

Not so much anymore.

It’s the small victories that count, Miss Sunshine.

Now, reply and prove me right AGAIN (this time I have an adult beverage riding on this. . .so don’t let me down. . .)

Eaker, your recent post with all the work you did to create pictures just for Hulka could start me off on a whole new discussion topic.

But rather than digress, let me ask you this question. I'm admittedly someone who is perhaps overly assertive when it comes to my rights as a pedestrian. So sure, kicking someone's car may be crossing a line, but so is the reckless endangerment involved when a left-turning driver nearly hits me while I'm crossing the street - and whatever speed I was crossing would be no defense (for the record, on the day that I decided to kick the car, I was walking rather fast, and when the car passed, I had to stop short to avoid getting hit).

But while I'm perhaps erring on the side of pedestrian rights, you seem to be erring on the side of driver dominance. Let me ask, are you the kind of person who also tailgates someone who only goes five miles over the speed limit in the left lane? Do you flash your highbeams in that same situation. Do you often use more than one available parking spot? And assuming that you're not disabled, do you nonetheless park in Handicapped spots?

Be honest - tell me no, and I'll believe you. But I'm just wondering since many of these same behaviors (which I also frequently encounter in NYC) would also seem likely from someone who thinks they can cut in front of, or perhaps "bump" a pedestrian who is walking to slow.

I'm also wondering what kind of car you drive. Newer, older? As for me, when I do drive, I'm in a beat-up '98 Ford Explorer. So if by chance you're in a late-model car and happen to be tailgating and flashing your lights on me while I'm doing 60 mph in the left lane, then be prepared to brake hard, since I will, and I don't mind at all if the rear of my car gets hit by yours.

Guess there's another example of me being a little over-assertive about my rights on the road. I won't cut you off, and I won't tailgate or flash my lights on you, but when you continuously do that to me, watch out - you'll either be facing a hard-brake and/or a long-term obstruction (i.e. viewing the rear of my car, changing lanes with and ahead of you, going 50-60 until the traffic clears).

Sorry buddy, I moved on.

Not a bit interested in reading your 'lil book.

Suffice it to say, you kick my car you fix my car.

Period.

PS: The graphics took me maybe five minutes each and I enjoy doing this kind of thing so no real effort was expended and here is one for you.

Suffice it to say that I’ll define “paying to fix your car” the same way that you define “moving on”.

You misunderstand wee one.

I am still here, I am simply not going to read your liberal, sanctimonious, strawman crap.

Do you need another graphic to explain it because reading is hard for you?

LOL - yeah, sure, you’re not going to read what you just read so you can keep posting replies to me about how you really have moved on, but I just don’t get it.
