I recall one night I had to close at Taco Bell.
One of the other closing employees needed a ride home.
I, being the generous guy that I am, offered to give him a lift.
After he got into my car, he put on his seatbelt.
I had never been more insulted in my entire life.
I asked him, "What? You don't trust my driving?"
He says, "It's not you man, it's the law."
I say, "This is not about the law. This is about respect."
He tried to act as though he had no idea what I was talking about.
I asked him, "Do you that just because there is a little snow on the ground, I'm going to wreck car and kill us in a giant fireball?"
He tells me, "Nah, man. It's nothing like that. I always put my seatbelt on when I get into someone's car."
I gave him an ultimatum: Either take off the seat belt or walk home.
He tells me he'd rather walk than ride in a car with a dictator and he gets out.
I took off and dropped my deposite off at the bank and headed home.
He had walked a good two blocks when I drove by him.
Well actually I slammed on the horn and swerved toward him, causing him to jump into a big pile of snow.
