[Tyler]

Interesting past jobs: all of them. Combat medic 18D on a Force
recon team. Combat Aircrew on P-3 Orion, H-3, H60, S-3 Viking. Deputy Sheriff, Field operations supervisor for Apple. Owner of a four wheel drive shop, owner of a synthetic coating company. Stock option trader. Truck driver. Firearms instructor.

That's wild. Some people are built different I guess.

Dream job: lesbian porn fluffer.

Reasonable notion.

 

[Tyler]

Pet peeves: Selfish drivers. The ones that can't be bothered to use a turn signal, or tailgate which endangers you because you are only going 5 mph above the speed limit, mostly safety issues that other people throw onto other people because they want to save 30s of driving in their lives.

Agreed. At the same time, I pet peeve over drivers that are no aware of their surroundings. Whether it be slow driving in the left lane and causing a bottleneck (not because I'm trying to speed by like an ass), not letting trucks make wide turns, and doing other things "wrong" because they just don't know.

The biggest "wrong" thing that has been happening lately for some reason, is someone giving me the right of way when they shouldn't be, risking our safety. This month alone I had two different cars STOP AT A GREEN LIGHT to let me make my left turn...

New car/truck you like that isn't a Taco?: Teslas are something else to drive, but I'd hate owning one.

@nickyreno - agree/disagree?

Hopefully, I can just be left alone.

Same. I enjoy being around people like us (people I meet through my hobbies) but I don't like being around people in general.

 

[Tyler]

Customer care- listened to people complain about stupid shit like missing 1 pickle or 1 olive on a shitty sandwich.

My mother worked at customer service call center for Long Island's biggest newspaper publisher for about 12 years. The complaints about the way peoples' newspapers were delivered "wrong" were insane.

"It should be on the LEFT side of the front door."
"Do NOT put my paper in a visible location. You MUST put it behind a bush."

...etc.

Pet Peeves? Folks showing up on time. Can't show up on time?......don't waste mine.

This one is huge for me. Showing up on time isn't difficult. I don't understand why so many people are known for their late arrivals and almost make it a personality trait of theirs.

Interesting past jobs?: Marine Corps Combat Engineer

Rah

Pet peeves: Clutter

Another huge one for me. I get so caught up in making sure things are organized that it does become stressful. I even feel like this website has a lot of clutter that I'm always trying to find solutions for.

 

[Tyler]

New car/truck you like that isn't a Taco?: Raptor

Thoughts on Ram TRX?

Dream job: Stay at home dad.

Stay at home dads don't get enough recognition

Dream job: currently have it.

One of the few. That's awesome.

Is cost of living going to be the demise of your sanity?: if you're thinking this is a possibility, you need to go visit a 3rd world country, study history, and get over it.

Well said.

Dream job: Nature reserve manager in the middle of nowhere

Would you become a park ranger if possible?

Pet peeves: Just Homo sapiens
