[QUOTE="Marne Vet, post: 1299567, member: 51053"] Just read some of my threads if you want to see what an average week is like for me in the "hood". I've stopped posting them [here] because there are too many crybabies on this forum who like to insinuate it's made-up. Most of these tools have never driven in a tough area, or have the slightest clue what it's like to deliver in what we call the "hood", and I've grown sick of reading their ignorant replies. I was a block away from a shoot-out last week, and it was no big deal. People on the street around noon stopped for a second as the gunfire was popping off, and then just went back to whatever they were doing. Common stuff out there, although shots at noon are very rare. Happens more towards dinner time. 99% of the people in the "hood" don't bother me. They have other crap to do rather than stop and bother a UPS or FedEx guy. They know we're bringing their stuff, and that can be their drugs, or EBT cards, so why mess with the guy that you rely on? They rarely do. However it becomes annoying as Hell every day to knock on a door and hear "WHO IS IT?!" screamed at the top of their lungs. Like a potential burglar would tell them "Just here to rob ya!". Idiots. I always ask them from time to time why they don't just come to the window and look, and explain that NO ONE is going to tell them the truth if they're there to rob them. Look, then open people.
