Sure, and your paper pass that won’t scan because it’s been spilled on and crumpled up in your pocket is slowing me down, gramps.

I don’t know about that. The more I read of your posts, the dumberer I feel...

Keep on with this.  It’s comedy gold.

This is the first time I’ve read about the EU being part of the US...  Maybe that red baseball cap is too tight?

You’re forgetting a couple of important points.

Parking in the middle of a lane like that is a power move.

Two-point turn.... Now that I drive a teeny tiny car, I haven’t done one of those in ages.  But there’s a guy that works here that has a mid-seventies Caddy...  I swear it’s about 35 feet long.  He needs to do a four point turn to get out of ANY parking spot...

I have a BS in Engineering and a Masters in Management; they were trying to get…

Yeah, but you know how short my commute would be at 275mph?

Nah.  The placement agencies I’ve dealt with aren’t doing you any favors by getting you interviews; they’re trying to make sure that whoever gets that job, they get their commission.

I’m not going to waste someone’s time if I decide the job’s an absolute no-go. An honest “After learning a little more about the job, I don’t think it’s a good fit” shouldn’t offend anyone that’s not worth offending.

Ehh... I balance it out by driving 90mph in the right lane when I’m in Ohio.
