New driver had a bad day

Relax. You didn’t tear anything up. You’ll be fine and I seriously doubt the company will ever know.

 

Doubt they call and whine about it, I'm sure they have it happen more than once a day, they have better things to do I would imagine.

 

When I first started driving I remember being worried about things like that. Over the years I have driven into some real crazy places. Never been fired for it and never will be as long as there is no money involved.

 

I don't see anything for you to worry about, it will not be the last dead end you drive down.
I can't wrap my head around folks always worrying about if somebody else will hire them, it seems like they think they have the only job available, eventually you will figure out that there is jobs everywhere you look.

 

Some guard having a bad day took a bit of it out on you, meh, nothing to worry about. I can't imagine someone calling your company because you made a wrong turn and I certainly can't imagine your company making anything of it.

You got into a crappy spot, you got out it with no issues. You have a spotless record and you're concerned about keeping it that way. Sounds like you're on the right track.

 

CFI won't fire you. Even if they did, there's about 100 companies just waiting to hire you.
You're gold in trucking; 6 mos. experience and no fender benders.

 

I have no idea why security guards always seem so pissed off in all these stories. I was one of them for a little bit, and I never got pissed when I had to tell a driver "sorry, we're closed." Part of the job.

Although, I do remember a few of the guys always seemed to be angry at the world.

 

Ever hear that “misery loves company”?

The average security guard make extremely low pay. These are the guys that wanted to be LEOs but cannot make the grade. So, they are stuck in some shack, making $.10/hour more than the janitors, hating their own existence, but need the job in order to afford the dominos pizza (you always see a dominos box near them) and the dial-a-porn. So, when they get the opportunity to spread their misery, they become so happy that they catch wood.

Now, not all security guards are that way. Some times, you see some old guy on fixed income. He retired 30 years ago, fixed income and the local municipality upped his property taxes to line their pockets. Usually, this type guard will be very cordial.

Now, back to the losers. Wanna get under his skin when he’s being a dingleberry? Call him “Champ.” What better way to insult a person who has never won at anything?
