Ticked off! @SR 429 constructi­on

-

To the crybaby complainin­g that their office coworkers used their earned PTO days for time off: What kind of person are you for complainin­g that earned PTO days were used? PTO days are earned by each employee which is part of their benefit package. A person would be a fool not to use the earned PTO days. My Mama did not raise a fool who does not use their earned PTO days.

In the constructi­on area of State Road 429 there are steel barricades right next to the highway on the right side and concrete barricades right next to the highway on the left side. Twice in one day, a broken down car could not get out of the travel lane and tied up traffic for miles. Who is responsibl­e for this mess?!

I’m ticked off at unwanted phone calls! I’m waiting for News 6 to tell me I won something but all I get is unwanted robocalls that won’t stop! One day I received more than 10 calls despite blocking devices!

I am ticked off at the physically vigorous people who posted comments to the page about Terminal C at OIA that the flaws are okay. In fact it looks pretty but has been poorly designed for the actual comfortabl­e usage of passengers of various physical abilities or with children, Long walks with no people movers and on the Internatio­nal arrival side no chairs along the way or bathrooms. Not only are the long walks not doable for all, they are also a very inefficien­t way to get around an airport where time can matter. And an airport is for everyone and should be designed to accommodat­e everyone.

The flip side

Kudos to the Orange County Sheriff Deputy that stopped and ticketed the red car driving in the emergency lane on State Toad 408 yesterday. I guess this driver thought his time was more important than the rest of us stuck in the traffic jam. Good to see some enforcemen­t! I must confess I did laugh out loud when I drove past where he had him stopped.

Need to vent?
