Etiquette

[slowp]

A question of etiquette. When say a friend, is unjustly accused of running a loaded log truck off a snowy two lane road--the friend was definitely on her side of the road but the trucks rear wheels and trailer slipped on the supered corner and just barely got stuck, should the friend make the truck driver and grader operator cookies? The truck driver said he understood that his truck deserved to be run in the ditch from past encounters with a different driver. The timber marker accused the friend of running the truck off the road on purpose so she could check the branding and painting job on the load and said she should carve a notch in her pickup bumper. What is the etiquette rule here?

Does your friends name start with a P

Maybe. :blush:

That infraction means the 'friend' has to bake everyone on AS cookies.

Cookies aren't enough. This calls for home made cinnamon rolls! Sorry, but I'm siding with log truck on this one.

And if you want the guys to stop for an brand/greentag check...catch them at the tie down. Running them off the road is counter-productive. Thankyou.

OK, so he is owed another running off the road. He said that that truck
was due for a couple of running off the roads by my friend, in retaliation for other incidents perpertrated by the former driver of the same truck. ERGO: No cookies, cinnamon rolls or anything else required! That's siding with the log truck!

:agree2: At least for the left coasters

Okaaaay. But I still like the cinnamon roll idea. It might start a trend.

Awww man... I was looking forward to some cookies.:yoyo:

It has been many years since "my friend" made cinnamon rolls. Many. They take time. Gotta let them rise, then do the cinnamon and sugar and then rise again. We're talking major time. I would think cinnamon roll worthyness would require something more than just barely stuck with the rear tires in a shallow ditch and no chains on even. Cinnamon roll worthyness would be something like losing the load over the side to avoid a schoolbus load of orphaned preschoolers going to a Christmas Party.

Hahaha, dang! I'll never look at a cinnamon roll the same way again!

Ms. P--Cinnamon roll worthyness would be something like losing the load over the side to avoid a schoolbus load of orphaned preschoolers going to a Christmas Party.

Ham-- Ahh, I can appreciate the difference. Maybe you can find some pastel easter m&ms for some cookies for the truck driver. Or wait a day, sounds like your "friend" might be getting some cookies from the logger!

Hey, hey, hey! Don't be starting that nonsense! She brings cookies to the loggers, not the other way around. Don't louse up a good thing.

Besides, I still think it's time to ratchet this cookie thing up a notch and move on to cinnamon rolls.

 

[slowp]

She's not sure how her cinnamon rolls would turn out. She is renowned locally for her cookies, although the quality control causes waistline problems.

Not a problem. Just send the cookies down here for Quality Control. Be sure to send quite a few of each kind so I can make objective decisions. And cinnamon rolls, too. Lots of cinnamon rolls.

This thread confuses me, I can't figure out whom to insult first. Truck drivers are usually worth insulting...they're a rather despicable bunch of low life wood pimps who's only real value is to clear off the landing so the real loggers and cutters can work.

And please, hold the sweets, I'm bulking up badly since the Nov. 1 layoff and don't need anymore calories.

Not sure how I'm doing, anyone mad?

Well if this incident occured in California both parties would claim back injuries. Then their WC liars, oops I mean lawyers, would be talking about lifetime medical care, stress debriefing, and a life time supply of gov't approved cookies. Then the state would join in and demand the cookie recipe contain no sugar. The cookies would have to be fat free, sugar free, gluten free, nut free, melamine free, and whey free. Local ordinance would demand only organic ingredients grown by free trade associations hostile to the USA.

In the end the two parties involved would still be stuck in the ditch and the beaurocrats would have eaten all the cookies and then claimed lifetime medical treatment for weight gain which includes monthy trips to a spa in Puerta Vallarta. The two drivers would both have to tax on the cookies they never received and Greenpeace filed a lawsuit on behalf on the squirrels who were traumatized by the incident.

Years later the log truck driver went postal and broke into Keeblers with a rifle and shot several elves. The "other" party involved moved a rural cabin in northern Alaska where the extreme weather prevents any tree from growing. The person spends all day making flowers out of duck tape.

Mad about what, Chubby?
