They're rebuilding the road outside our industrial park. There are two entrances from that side. They always have one open and one closed, depending on where they're doing the work that week. Today, the first was closed as usual, but when I got to the second entrance, a guy was dragging a barricade across the entrance. I stopped to see what was going on. The far side of my road was already blocked off. I said to the guy, "why do you do this to me?" He said, "it's closed buddy!" I yelled, "but why don't you open the other one?!" He yelled back, "Fuck you!"
Okay, I could expect the "conversation" to get antagonistic, but when a constructive suggestion is met with raw anger, I tend to get upset. I would have expected a blank stare, or an "it's not my job!" but "FUCK YOU!"? Come on. I think I'll write a letter.
