My wife always tells me to " be nice " and I always reply with I am who I am if they do not like it I am but an arms reach away ...after 20+ years she has decided to save her breath ..
I do not take shit from people , if they got balls enough to make a comment or show a disrespectful action I am going to hold them accountable ....
guy cuts me off in a parking lot then has the gull to flip me off you can bet your ass I put my vehicle in park on the spot and step out of the car/truck and ask him wtf his problem is and give them every chance to backup their rudeness face to face ..
I treat people how thy treat me ....
be an ass I will be a bigger ass , respect me I will respect you ..pretty simple and basic concept in my book
