Road Work Rage Closes SoCal Highway
7/20/07
Quote:
WRIGHTWOOD, Calif. (AP) - California highways have been shut down by wildfires, mudslides, earthquakes and police chases. Add one more emergency to the list: road rage.

Drivers inconvenienced by a road-widening project subjected construction workers to so much abuse—including death threats, BB gun shootings, even a flying burrito—that the state revoked a rush- hour window and shut down the highway altogether.
Now drivers who relied on California Highway 138 are being forced to take a detour that costs them at least a half-hour a day and businesses along the road are suffering.
"A few inconsiderate people have ruined it for the rest of us," complained Julie Dutra, who owns a scrapbook and stationery store in this town nestled in the Angeles National Forest about 50 miles northeast of Los Angeles. Dutra's complaint has become a familiar refrain in a state where people have moved in droves from big cities to a more affordable lifestyle in valleys, deserts and mountains, where they hope to escape the hassles of urban living that often come with more cars: congestion, smog and aggressive driving.

WOW, I would have been mad if a BB hit me as well while doing my job, LOL. People are getting nuttier and nuttier these days. Just wait until Iran, Venezuela, and their buds shut off the spigots...there will be blood flowing and people will not be so nice, LOL.

I think some people have been hit in the head by some foreign object from space by the way they are acting.

Oh yea, I have DEFINITELY been noticing the hatefulness and impatience of people increasing these days. I dread to see what people will do after our next terrorist attack happens and society is REALLY disrupted...people will throw off ALL pretensions of being as nice as they are now (and that's saying a lot there). I've heard people say that they think most people are good inside for the most part...I say BS.
