Here a man was looking for a conflict, did what he needed to produce it, then has the nerve to act surprised that it happened.
On a related note, I hope that some of what is being said here is either TIC or by people who are playing fake characters. If not, the level of condescension and snobbery in some people is off-putting and un-Christlike. It has been my experience that most people who project in this way actually are playing a role and are not what they claim to be. Once again, I hope this is TIC. I personally applaud and appreciate everybody who gets up everyday and works anywhere, whether it be at an airport, on a railroad, at McDonald's, or anywhere else. Those jobs are needed and I am thankful that those people get up and go to work and are not like te ones who lay around and live off of others.

You are awesome, Stew - as always!! Good post!
Frankly, I think he should have abided by these rules, even if it's a suggestion. He's going through x-ray, he might as well report it.
