I swear the idiots are out in full frigging force right now. Everywhere I go lately. Starting to think it's time to enforce Darwinism 
lol, it sounds like you've been through the idiot wringer lately. Do tell!
Haha I would need a separate forum just for the month of March!!
But here are a couple highlights from the last few days:
Last night...
Driving 70 in HEAVY traffic on i89 south with the family to go grab some dinner. We're in the passing lane and suddenly the car in front of me flips on their
left turn signal but is going WAY too fast to illegally take the emergency vehicle only u-turn so suddenly locks up their brakes! I hit mine, manage to NOT lock up, hammer on the horn, and they punch it and get back on the interstate. Again, this is in 70 mph traffic with cars everywhere in an area with exit and entrance ramps all over the place. So I'm starting to wrap up my cursing of this person and suddenly their left turn signal and brake lights come on again as we come up to the next U-turn! I hammer on my horn and start flashing my lights because they are about to cause a pileup. They change their mind and pull into the right lane (left turn signal still going mind you) and they are pissed at me when I pass them, of course I was as close to being ready to kill someone as I have ever been so I can see why they are not responding to me favorably when I pull up along side them.
Friday, a story I relayed to friends in a Hangout group...
So, day in the life, true story - there are complete imbeciles that have infiltrated the corporate ranks of the "insert my company name here" organization, and sadly they make more money than I do. This is a real, abridged conversation I just went through:
Me: "Hey #1 can you please add Office365.com to the proxy allow for me?"
#1: "Hey #2, XIIx needs me to add blahblahblah.com to the proxy but it's filled with Malware."
#2: "XIIx, can you provide documentation as to why you need site blahblahblah.com?"
Me: "No, I don't need blahblahblah.com, I said I need Office365.com."
#1: "hey #2, all the other sites are already added except blahblahblah.com, I'm not sure what you want me to do."
Me: "I already said that isn't the problem, why are we still talking about blahblahblah.com?"
#1: "Well, what isn't working?"
Me: (totally *bleep* exasperated at this point because I've been needing this 30 seconds of work to be done since 8:30 in the morning so I can actually migrate a *bleep* company, it is now 3:30) "I told you, I just need Office365.com. I also sent you a screenshot buried in the thread below showing the URL AND the error."
...this went on for four or five more rounds before what I asked for got through. However, I left at 5pm STILL waiting for it to happen. This happens to me every...single...effing...day I step foot in that office!
Thursday night...
I walk out of work behind two other women, all on our way out to the parking garage. I'm kind of half paying attention to my phone and half where I was walking (yeah, I'm THAT guy) because I'm still answering work emails but need to get home to pick the boy up at his last "after school math league" thing at school. As we are walking along I see a guy coming our way out of the parking garage, I've seen him around and know him to be one of the crazy homeless guys from around town, pretty harmless though. I look down at my phone but then suddenly catch him swing has hand at the face of the woman in front of me as if to hit her but then move it at the last minute then he shoves his middle finger about 6 inches from my face. I'm still trying to figure out WTF is going on and WTF is this guy doing, and we're staring each other down; I've got my backpack coming off and the adrenaline starting to rush as I get ready to take on whatever he's about to bring and, just as suddenly, he turns around and walks off.
Wednesday, 2pm...
2 blocks from my office on one of the busier corners of our downtown shopping district, one homeless guy stabs another homeless guy to death in front of dozens of shoppers with seemingly no warning. Just BOOM in the middle of everyone he stabs the guy in the face and neck 6 or 7 times.
It just goes on and on around here lately, I'm toast. I'm ready for a new month - hopefully April will bring fewer stories and more success!
