The Pizza Man and You: The Do's and Do Not's and the Down Right Rude
Hi there all my "avid" readers, for those who may or may not know, I deliver pizza for a "living". It doesn't pay much so that may the reason I feel the need to type this up for the rest of you. Not to say YOU are one of the baddies and wrong doers in the discussion, but it is likely.

Driving: How not to be a complete retard.
When driving, and not just when driving around a delivery driver, remember your turn signals. That means 1: Using them 2: Remembering to Turn them off after changing lanes. Being forced to hold to the laws of the road, drivers are slowed by idiots who change lanes and leave the blinker on, the whole while in wonderment of whether or not they will take the next right.
Stop Signs: Guess what fuck face, you HAVE to stop, it isn't a "I don't feel like it" kind of thing. For fucks sakes STOP. I personally have had almost seven wrecks because of some dickwad trying to shave off three seconds of their commute and nearly t-boning me. But, this doesn't mean you treat it like a stop LIGHT and apply your lipstick (Yes, that has actually happened.)

Getting the Pizza: Proper Greetings
Do: Smile, be happy we showed up. Your driver likely just dealt with such idiocy as listed above and is in no mood for a rude customer. Your pizza is late?
1: Traffic is not a factor we can judge at the drop of a pin.
2: There may have been complications at the store in completing the order(Blame the insiders!) Normal circumstances mean the driver did not make the pizza, boxed it, bagged it yes, but we didn't put it in the oven, That is to say we're not to be bitched at because the wrong topping or sauce is in the box.
3: Other deliveries: During "rush" hours a driver might be caring for up to four orders and must try his or her best to get from place to place. Which turns the above 2 into far harder issues then otherwise on a normal day.
4: Shorthanded: Others get sick, call in, car dies, shit happens. When shit happens we have to scramble to cover for the lack of that warm body, this includes covering more deliveries, the make line, catching the oven, restocking, and so forth.

Tale of Broken Minds: Pt 1
There they were, lost in the land from which they had hoped to escape. The companions numbering twenty stirred in sudden resentment of the kingdom, forced out, and denied... Oh the anger that they had brewing inside... Urethreas the worst of all, not bothering to be civil, his loud and bellowing curses to the world!
-------------------Cast me out yon fools! For I shall
----------------------lay awaiting the day of the return
-------------------------------of we the twenty
-------------------We who had laid down our lives numerous
----------------------times only now to be cast out as
-------------------------------criminal!
His vengence knew no bound, and his sword had already began to thirst. None held him back for fear of what he had become... Oh why would they torment and break so strong a man with mere exile...
Osteie the Sayer stood yet fast to his claim, they were innocent, free of the charges laid upon their names.
-----------Cry out, cry out oh witnesses, cry out and save thine
------------------------------Saviours!
None went forth at his plea, he wept, oh how he wept that day, and tears still fell as the twenty made their way... A long and hard road ahead they yet walked, not knowing what lay ahead for them. The twenty they were yet one in the same, all felt the pain of loss on this day. Urethreas, Osteie, Granive, and Jestrei. Lieoth, Manis, Freis, and Walyn. Dewist, Karlfre, Strynve, and Pquyers. Ferin, Janiea, Unther, and Ammigwen. The twenty the one, and the sufferin of all... Their path now would be trailed, red, with blood... An anger now stirred, in all of their hearts, and yet they knew not, upon which path they did walk.

Tale of Broken Minds: Pt 2
They made their way, without fail, twenty they were, who walked the roads. All whom they passed dared not bar their way. No questions were asked, for all knew them by name. Urethreas at the lead stared down most opposition. And yet the others still inwardly let fly their pleas
-----------------Oh lords above I do beseech you!
-------------I your follower loyal still, calm the hearts of
-----------------------my companions and I.
-----------------We who served you without fail, we
-------------------Who did your work withen
-------------------------this realm!
Granive the Cleric of the Lords cried and wailed, no one stopped him none the other nineteen, parts to the whoel, denied that indeed they needed help from the heavens, the heavens they served with sword and mind. They upheld the law and now forced out by the same.
Jestrie the Maiden, calm as she could whispered her words to those that would hear.
------------You see what you do, you know who we are!
-------------Yet you cast us aside, for defending the law.
--------------We will leave your realms, now acursed with
---------------shame. Sorrow my heart, for I know I won't
---------------see you alive again...
---------------But know this my kinsman
-------------------You are indeed at the loss.
---------Your kingdom will fall, and you will fall with it.
The anger returned to the twenty they were was greater then any obsticale from before. Their families, lovers, friends, and neighbors, carelessly tossing them aside, thinking them wrong... For a deed that twas done, by naught but one.

Tale of Broken Minds: Pt 3
As they passed through the realms, man of the twenty openly called out their plea, and many were openly shunned... The twenty, the one, walked non stop, sun and moon they trudged on as if a mechanical being of propetuial motion... But still many had stayed silent, or spoke only to the other nineteen.Lieoth was one.
---------------------Look at them, as if the sheep
--------------------have decided to take care of the
--------------------shepard, as though we were not
-------------------fit enough to defend their laws any
---------------------more then they are to call
-----------------------themselves humans.
Manis was to whom he talked, and twas the only to hear the choked words that came from his bitter friend... And twas he that replied solomenly...
------------------Kinsman, I tell you, do not take their
--------------------words to heart, it is as Urethreas
--------------------says... They will choke on them.
----------------------They do not tend us as they would
-----------------------a flock for they fear a stampede.
----------------------Keep your sword sharp... that is all.
A grim smile past the brothers' lips as the gave each other that knowing glance. The twenty neared the border of their forsaken lands... and they now all knew... War was coming.
