Stop being childish. You know that was a typo. What would YOU do in the
aforementioned muffler situation?


Let's just say what I wouldn't do okay? I wouldn't do anything to

escalate
the situation. And I wouldnt do anything illegal or immoral. I wouldn't

hate
my neighbor over it. I wouldn't overly dwell on it. I wouldn't still

seeth
over it months or years later in a newsgroup. I wouldn't nag them over

it.

OTOH if I saw that same neighbor broken down needing help on the side
of the road I would do it. No matter how much sleep that I lost or how
much they bothered me. I would help that person.

I spent part of my life thinking and acting like you do and then I wised

up
Dougie. Life is too short to be seeing the glass half-full all of the

time.

So, you're a patsy. I understand now.



Spread random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty.


I do that constantly, but with some people, it's not worth the effort. I'd
rather be cleaning the bathroom.
