Thumbs down

We meet people like this in all walks of life. They are A$$holes, no doubt about it. My hat is off to you for just walking away and letting them bask in their glory (?).
What idiots. Life is just too short to even have to worry about people who act like this.

I have read, and re-read most of the posts on this thread, and I feel I have to make some amendments. Firstly, it was not my intention to lump "check writers" together as a whole. Rather, it has simply been my experience that most of these a$$holes that I have encountered, HAPPEN to also be check writers. It was not my intent to convey the thought that being a "check writer" automatically imbues one with the characteristic of a$$hole as well. That is simply not the case.

Personally, I feel that if one is a decent enough person, AND has the ability to cut the check as well, more power to them. I only intended to convey the concept of being a "check writer" as merely potentially contributory, rather than causal in nature.

Myself...well, I rarely 'cut the check', I typically travel alone as opposed to being in packs, I appreciate cars in whatever form they come in, and I acknowledge the fact that I pretty much know diddly-squat about most anything...actually, I'm beginning to lower my standards to the point that as long as I leave the house with pants on, it's going to be a pretty good day.

(but I'm still an a$$hole...ask my father...or Norain, for that matter!)

Interesting that you feel confident enough in knowing this site and it's personalities to be even offering an opinion at this juncture, however, to each his or her own, and welcome to the site.

We will withhold our opinion of you until you've been around a while longer.

Hmm...interesting to think that one would need permission or tenure to have an opinion...silly me. I'll go back and sit at the kids table now.
