Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

You could always wait and see if he's rude to you again.
If he's not than maybe it was a bad day.
If he is rude again than complain.
If you wait, than write down the day and time of the first incident so it's fresh in your mind when you do call in.

Well, hopelink uses many different medical transportation services, so I could get him next week, or I could get someone I don't know. I do seem to get put with many of the same people, especially since my appointments are at the same time and day. I get different people when my appointments change. I do have his name and the vehicle number written down, along with my id code that they used, just in case.

rude people suck

I just read this morning that the US 1st amendment protects the depiction of violence in all it's gory detail, but not the depiction of a naked breast
if whatever people look at does influence their behaviours, I'd rather have the teenagers rutting in the streets than chopping each other's limbs off and killing one another - but that's just me, and I should probably be dismembered to death for my loose morals

so are we surprised people are rude? I'd think many would be more polite if they were encouraged to charm the clothes off one another, rather than to do the worst they can for points

and yes - I've been told I'm peculiar, even by people who knew nothing about my reptiles

[RicMartin]

Rhea, you might be peculiar, and I'm peculiar enough, snakes aside, but the hypocritical love-hating-violence-worship that much of our society craves is DEFINITELY beyond peculiar, and quite over the line of pathological.
Returning to just rudeness: in today's economic reality, I'd think twice before having a jerk fired. Jerks can be supporting families who weren't rude to me, and I may be turning an angry person into a desperate one. I prefer jerks to criminals.

[kibakiba]

I also prefer jerks to criminals. I would rather my leg be slammed in the door and deal with it, than to cause someone to become desperate after being fired.

I didn't think about it at the time, but where he's from, I don't think women are respected, so perhaps since he moved here not too long ago (he had a hard time speaking English), maybe he just doesn't know any better. I've met a lot of drivers like that, and they don't understand it because they grew up in a culture where women were below men at all times. I personally don't like being disrespected, but it's something you have to deal with, I guess.

[Mommy2many]

Perhaps it was a bad day, or something quite terrible was going on in his life at the time. Again, maybe it's just rudeness. With rudeness, many of those people are that way frequently, so if you get him again you may have your answer. I would take the wait and see approach. We shouldn't be judged on one moment in time. If the behavior continues, report it.

It's the airports fault for being put there

Anyone have any home remedies for sun burns? I visited my mom in drug and alcohol treatment, and we sat in the sun for a few hours. I have a sunburn really bad on half of my face. I look half lobster and half albino...
I don't have any aloe, and I read that evening primrose oil works, and I have that as a supplement for "woman problems", but I'm not sure if I can just break open the supplement and put the oil on my face.

Cold compresses will help take the heat out.
Good luck with that.
