Really I am sorry for saying those words. Honestly.
It was stupid of me, and me sound ignorant!!!
But I wasn't saying the person was stupid or ignorant. Just the situation.
Hope ya have a great weekend.
Great. Now I'm feeling bad. LOL!!!!! Stop apologizing--I'm over it--and I did have a knee-jerk reaction yesterday.

When we were in the UPC in the 80's we were just never allowed to go swimming regardless of what we wore. It was a "guilty by association" thing where you were not allowed to do something if it was too similar to something else you were not allowed to do -and this could (and did) often go more then just one step removed.

How many steps removed is enough?

I've always heard it preached this way: a rich man was hiring a chauffer for his little daughter. He interviewed several drivers and asked each "If you were driving up a steep mountain, with mountain on one side and a cliff dropping straight off on the other, how close to the edge would you get?" The first said, "Sir, I can drive a car with the tires right on the edge of the drop." The second said, "Sir, I could drive on the shoulder without concern for your daughter's safety." The third replied, "Why, I'd stay as far from the cliff as possible!" The man immediately hired the third driver.
Which is fine til you consider that a man who drives too close to the mountainside can be just as dangerous as the one driving too close to the cliff.

And no doubt also helps to create road rage in those driving behind him or her because of their tendency to drive under the speed limit thus slowing ALL the cars behind them to a crawl.

Yeah, or could be driving on the wrong side of the road!
