Is there a reason people think it’s safe or acceptable to speed in a parking garage?  It’s not just the garage I’m in now at my current work.  It seems to be the norm anywhere there’s a multi-level garage.  People take the corners like they’re running an Indy car and if there aren’t speed bumps in the straightaways, they’ve got the car running at unsafe speeds.  I’m surprised we don’t hear more about fender benders or the accidental running over of pedestrians within these garages.

Now that I know there isn’t a chance in hell of my paint job ever being complete, at least not through my shyster neighbor, I’ve decided to report his “business” to the Georgia Better Business Bureau.  Below is my final letter to him and I will edit this post if he replies.  Of course, when I get hoodwinked, like I did this time, my only satisfaction is now to tweak him in the only way “manly men” take offense – by calling out his manhood.  Here’s what I sent him last night.  For my contracting friends who read this, I don’t lump you in to the group I’ve listed below.
