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!"

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!!!
