Today, I have noticed that many people have no regard for the hired professional - no tolerance or patience. It seems to be a matter of "I'll get mine and to hell with you!". And, as was so strongly stated here, it seems to be fun for some to just get in the way and cause problems. I'm sorry, folks, but there is no excuse for that kind of thinking or activity.
