Here is the newest tool factor. If you are old and wrinkly with a hair dye procedure that doesn't match............you are a tool. Look and act your age. We had a knickname for one .......Disco Bob! His hair didn't even look like a natural color.

Hops out, hollering at herself, looks at the damage, and wanders off.
In retrospect, maybe she was looking for a piece of paper, so she could write her insurance and contact info, and leave it for the other driver,
Yea, that's the ticket....
Maybe I'm getting older, but it sure seems like there are more d-bags in the world today.
3 warning signs you are getting older (shamelessly cribbed from someone else):
1) You wake up hurting because "you slept wrong"
2) You use any compound that could be refered to as an "ointment"
3) The d-bag at the audio store says the reason your CD player sounds broken is because you listen to crappy music.

I've often felt the same! Thanks for bringing that up. It's like the old saying, "Any one who wants the job, isn't qualified to have it!"

Haha I'm loving this thread.
Now I know I can be a tool on the PA. Its normally on day 3 leg 4, and my mind starts drifting off somehwere else. Then I forget what I was saying so I usually wrap it up with a " once again welcome aboard ."
But the best I ever saw was the captain who for an entire month would do a very professional sounding PA, just to follow it up by repeating the WHOLE thing in Italian!!!! TOOL!!!

We have a few pilots that will do an English and then a LOD PA. (Language of Destination) Have had them done in Italian, German, Russian, Spanish and Swedish.

That's understandable. But when you're flying an RJ in and out of Denver, and primarily to the plains states, I'd bet that no one on board would understand one word of Italian. Maybe "ciao" when he'd sign off. And now after the JB meltdown they'd all probably grab their bags and get off.

Yeah, but Disco Bob was a blast to fly with. One of the wildest overnights I ever had at SWA was at the Lighthouse with Disco Bob and Turkey Taylor and about 20 or so F/As (myself being the only hairy leg one there).
