    Man that was a hard, but enthralling read. I hate this world.

      Yeah, it really makes you question humanity. I hate that some people have to go through that sort of thing everyday.

    Great writer. Tragic stories.

    I have a friend who is a female pilot. The amount of bullshit she has to put up with from loser copilots who think they are god’s gift just because they got through a crappy flight school is unreal. She has held back her own career just to fly solo so she doesn’t have to deal with the nasty comments and stories. Again, tragic.

    Yeah that one was a ride. Initially I saw huffpost thinking it was a politics post, started reading, thought ‘wow this is long’, before realizing what community I was in :D

    I never envied service people, especially those that had to go in homes. I’d like to think 90% of encounters are fairly cordial, but dang can humans suck sometime… Be nice to the cable person folks.

    That was much more interesting than I would have guessed. Thanks.
