Still Looking

There's a line from great movie The King of Kong, where the best friend of the good guy says something like, "It's not everyone who has a best friend that's the best in the world at something."  That's what I'm looking for, but not even to that extreme.  I just want to be someone's best friend who is better at something that anyone he/she knows.  Why can't I find it?

It's been too long...Good Times

Jeers: To the Fort Worth Police Department for not responding to my daughter’s 911 call on Dec. 24. She broke her right front wheel, dialed 911 and they told her they wouldn’t respond because no one had been injured. Since the police refused to show up and close the lane, her car was hit three times and totaled.


— William, Fort Worth

Well, it looks like the whole apple falling far from the tree thing here.  Really?  She couldn't get the car to side of the road?  How the hell do you break a wheel?  And it's not the FWPD's job to fix broken cars.  That's what roadside assistance is for.  Ya douche.  Also, there's a number on the back of TX DL's that you can call to get the DPS out to help you.  Your gut is in danger.
 
Jeers: To the TCU football team for arriving in Arizona in warm-up suits. Have some class. Coats and ties were appropriate.


— Sheila, Granbury

Really Sheila?  You ignorant slut.  (Wow!  Harsh)  So team unity means nothing to you?  Jeers to your face for uglying up this Earth. 
 
Jeers: To employers who don’t return calls after they leave messages regarding a job application/résumé. When you try to return their call, they don’t call back. Jeers, too, for not returning calls when you follow up after an interview. At least have the receptionist say the job is filled or not hiring anymore!


— Jan, Burleson

Hi Jan.  I was just calling to let you know that WE DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU!!!  If we did we would have called you back or set up another interview.  We have hundreds of people apply for the same job and we can't call each of the rejects (you) back.  No then, GFY!
 
Jeers: To the individual who keyed my H3 Hummer. This was a senseless action that proved nothing. All it did was make me mad. Are you jealous because you don’t have one? Sorry, that’s your problem, not mine.


— Gary, Saginaw

 
Oh Gary.  H3 huh?  Little weenie got ya down? 
 
Jeers: To the Dallas company that coordinated a six-hour interview with my husband, filled the position and never called back or extended any feedback. A post card in the mail would have been below standard, but everyone needs to shoot for something. Cheers to the human resource departments who follow-up with candidates.


-- Nicole, Colleyville

 
Dear Nicole - Please get with Jan so I can take care of two guts at one time.
