I'm angry - who's with me?

People who think all cops are crooks or on the take, can't find any other kind of work, are uneducated, get paid too much, don't really work for a living. "What's the big deal?" "Get paid just to ride around in a car all day.?" "Hell I'd like THAT job." People who think cops are not people, don't have families or lives. People who think it is OK to shoot at cops just because they carry a gun. That $#|t makes me real angry.
Disclosure: I am not a cop, but my daughter is, and so is her husband.
 
OK on both. And by the way, If you were in Afganistan in service of your country... Thank you.

It seems many people now think they are "Special". In that they think everything is for them alone. "I can park anywhere I want!" "I don't have to follow _______insert rule or law here". Entitlement makes me flippin' mad. That's why people don't use turn signals when changing lanes anymore. You don't rate the consideration. I agree with others here, it's the same with the Cell Phones. Who cares you have to speak to them or even just try to get around them.
Oh, and people who park their shopping carts in the middle of the isle in supermarkets-No one wants to go around you after all. People who have giant SUV's and can't park or drive them. People who take forever to make a simple turn. They could be in a sports car made for handling corners, and still slow to 5 mph to make a damn turn. People who don't check their blind spots when driving, because there's no one driving around them. Tailgaters. Getting cut-off and then they go slower than you are. They may pass me on the right, shoot in front of me, then slow down???
I have more but lastly, not being treated equally at work.
 
I am angry because I studied and studied for a long time for a very important test on Monday and then when I took the test (which is timed on a computer), the majority of the questions pertained to completely different information than was anywhere in my study books or sample tests. Therefore, I came up a few answers short of the required amount. That is no way to test people on what they actually learned when they are just taking random guesses at answers. I found out many people complain but nobody seems to want to correct the testing system to reflect the proper information. It's not cheap either and is a 4 hour round trip drive for me to take the test. My business is contingent on this test and nobody cared what happens.

Was that the Maryland P&C insurance exam??
