As easy as it is for everyone to crucify the OP here...
How many of us would not be EXTREMELY hostile after a 15 hour work day, and a coworker not letting you go home? |

treehouse wrote: I went up to St. Paul in late march to work for Johnson bros liquour during a teamsters strike. Second week I went out with another strike worker to make deliveries. We started at 7am and had 27 stops. Due to us not knowing the area and the warehouse not loading the truck properly it was going to be a long day. Around 9pm we missed our first stop because the liqour store had closed. I called in to see if we could call it a day . Supervisor said OK.
Coworker and I argued he wanted to go to bars still open and make deliveries. Around 10pm I got in truck locked the doors and said I'm going back to the yard. I back out of an alley and he jumps on passenger side. I drive for about a mile he jumps off and pops hood. I drive off come back police there and arrest me for assault. I go to jail spend a night and next day judge releases me and as I leave jail receive summons for carless driving.
Treehouse...................I think that you have upped the ante in the 'there has to be more to the story' category. Do whatever you can to minimize this situation and move on..................using better judgement next time. |

Extremely hostile? More than likely.
But how many of us are going to actually drive off with the poor guy hanging on the side of a tractor trailer?!?!? Well, maybe you better not answer that.
Usually I can sympathiza with these guys on here and their sob stories, but not this time. He's lucky thats all he got. If I was the judge, I'd cut his cdl into pieces and be sure he could never get one again. I wonder what he'd do if someone REALLY made him mad... |

If I reach that point in the day where I'm dogged, but my partner wants to keep going, I call a taxi from the next stop.
I may be crazy, but I am not stupid |
