Other People's Idiocy

 From my posts I sound like a hotheaded loudmouth. 

  I'm not really that hotheaded, though. I use this blog as a place for my id to go potty, and I like using sarcasm and snark to antagonize people far more that fists.   I've been punched in the mouth sufficiently to not enjoy the process, from my winters spent as a bouncer when I was a fisherman... but I'd gotten pretty good about knowing when I was close enough to goad someone into taking a swing at me, using words as a weapon. I avoid this point as an older if not particularly wiser person. 

        Last night the fools moored next to us had a very avoidable incident involving a lazy retard not doing the simple fucking job of standing his watch when they were idle and not working. 

       Even in a lay berth there has to always be a watchstander in charge on a manned vessel. And lay time is good time, especially at night. 

 Abyhow, some idiot wasn't doing his job, and a thing happened. 

   So I wake up this morning around 0430, and around 0500 I poke my head outside and walk the deck. I wasn't on watch, B is on nights right now but first light was about 15 mins before, and I'm still waking up.

   The retards from yesterday did it again. 

 I made a couple of phone calls, no answer next door.  I grabbed a 4-inch length of threaded rod with two inch-and-a-quarter nuts on it, about 3lbs, and threw it, full strength, hitting the house and waking somebody up. 

     Now, idiot me is heated at idiot all of them. I'm standing about 5 feet from a vent for my generators and when some fool I don't know comes out, I absolutely blow up. No cursing beyond 'you idiots gotta get your shit together, you're fucking up everything for all of us' repeated a few times. 

        The guy got the point, tried making excuses... I'm not his boss, it's not like I matter. I'm crossing over into busybody territory anyhow. Eventually he gets tired of my yelling at length and addresses the issue that caused all this.

     Looking back, he probably only heard half of what I was saying anyhow w/ the gen noises. 

  I HATE HATE HATE when people don't do their fucking job.  Pet peeve of mine. Anyone can, and does, fuck up.  Doing so twice means deeper issues. Not my problem, but it also is. When you work in a fleet, collective punishment is a thing. Nobody enjoys being punished for things they haven't ever done wrong, you know?

 Anyhow +1 to the list of people who hate me, though I suspect the shithead in question won't be here long.
