Yea, people can be idiots some times. I do volunteer fire/rescue and MAN, I could tell you stories about the idiots I get to deal with when I'm on traffic control. *I'm not trying to thread jack, just a funny story* I'm standing in the middle of a 2 lane road (one lane each way) with our rescue truck blocking the oncoming lane (which has flashing lights and what not), and there I am holding a flag saying that the road is closed. About 50 yards behind me their is a flatbed truck on its side blocking both lanes of traffic. I'm talking BIG flatbed truck too.
This guy drives right up to me, I signal for him to turn around, he just keeps inching towards me, eventually he gets into the left lane and is attempting to pass me. So at this point he is staring at the accident scene. This was our conversation:
me "Sir the road is closed, I'm going to need you to turn around"
Sir "But why?"
me "well sir there's been an accident" (as I gesture to the accident scene)
sir "can't you move it?"
me "No sir, it's very heavy. Where do you need to go maybe I can help you with directions"
sir "OK. I need to go straight. I need to get down this road"
me *and this is where I'm a bad person* "OK sir, I need you to turn around, drive down the road and make your 2nd right. Drive a little ways and you will see signs for where to go."
