While on my way to get my morning coffee, I was presented with road constructions. This isn't new, they have been there for weeks. They have made sure to leave "some" space for those to get around to their homes and the Drive thru as they have blocked access to exit or enter the parking lot. I found a way to get around a piece of equipment that was moving at the speed of smell in the coned designated lane I was in. As I made my move to go around the equipment, which also means I briefly used the on coming lane. Got to the the drive thru to find I was chased down by a worker in a truck all the way up to the speaker of the drive thru. Pulls up next to me, I roll my window down because he is clearly ready to beef... curses me out for using the opposite lane to get around. Mind you the people taking my order can see and hear him yelling at me (I work at this store, everyone on the headset heard him). With the constriction, it is virtually impossible to enter the drive thru any other way, so I did what any other normal person would do, get out of their way as fast as possible. What's strange is a runner ran right through the exact zone I drove through and I seen no reprimand for him.
I have a feeling I am not the first person who has done it and I was the target of his frustration. The issue I have is... its disturbing that he would take it upon himself to chase me down, in his company truck, and further have the ability to block me in if I was too scared and needed to leave. Even if I did do something seriously wrong , which I am not sure it was that big of deal, he had no right to approach me in any manner that was aggressive or abrasive. If he was willing to go this far, I cant anticipate his next move. Also, I am almost positive that had this been a man who drove around him, the man would have never been...

Recently while driving on Interstate 81 around the Carlisle area in Pennsylvania I entered the highway next to several of their company trucks, entering the highway where I get on is difficult due to no merge area, but after I was on one of their trucks deliberately went the same speed as a tractor-trailer in the right lane for over 5 miles to prevent anyone from passing. Once I was able to pass this truck I did so from the right lane since they refused to move from the left lane even though there was no traffic preventing them from doing so and they were going the speed limit. The driver must not have been okay with being passed at all though because as I was looking to enter the right lane before my exit the Michel truck tailgated me and once I was safely in the right lane pulled up alongside me and the passenger smirked down at me. Obviously happy to see that safety is one of this construction companies top...
Read moreCourteous crew. The crew working near Madras Oregon has gone out of their way to keep dust and debris away from our home. They access the work site on the east of our property and are working on the south end of the property. The crew foreman made sure we were able to contact him with any concerns or questions. The professionalism of the team has astounded me. If you have to have a utilities crew working on or near your home this is the...
