What I find amazing is how a blowup can occur between people over the least little thing or virutally nothing. Case in point:
I was at home one day awaiting a delivery of some building matterials. The driver phoned and said he was a minute away. I went outside to the back lane, my phone at my ear guiding the guy so he knows which driveway is mine. At that same moment some other guy was parking his car (illegally) in my nieghbor's driveway and he saw me out there looking his way while talking on my phone. He must have thought I was blowing the whistle on him or something because all of a sudden he's coming towards me yelling about parking and "I'm only going to be about 20 minutes" and "why don't you mind your own f--ing business" etc.
I put my phone down and look at him like he's out of my tree or something and I ask him what he's talking about, and that I'm expecting a delivery. The guy, getting closer to me, hears nothing of what I just said and steps on my property. He keeps coming, all the while accusing me of sticking my nose where it doesn't belong or something and before I know it he takes a swing and a miss and I have him on the ground face down in an arm pin until he's calm enough to fucking LISTEN to what I'm saying.
It ended up I let him up and he went about his day and I went about mine. He apologized and said his wife or someone close to him was in the hospital and he thought I was out there ratting him out for parking illegally.
Misunderstanding. Over the most insignificant thing. Like some of these board blowups.
Are they worth it? That is the question. Never hard of 'iguess' btw.
