The funny thing about rules and laws is how and when we feel they apply to us.
Here in this town it is very common for the first people that move into a new housing tract to call the cops and complain about all of the dirt trucks and contactor trucks speeding through their neighborhood. So the police will set up there and write tickets for a few weeks, funny thing is about half of the tickets they write are to the people who live in the tract, many saying they were one of the ones that called. That is the "it's ok for me, but I don't want you doing it" mentallity.
Driving up the on ramp as far as you can and then some to get on to a backed up freeway, because whatever it is you have to do must be more important than any of the other people on that freeway that are in your way.
We've had people not pull a permit and then call us to complain that they think the contractor overcharged them.
Follow the NEC to the letter and pull a permit because I'm a great guy and then drive down the freeway at 80 MPH, cutting in and out of traffic because I have jobs to get to.
Tap your brakes at a stop sign because nobody's coming, not reporting a tip that a customer gave you, "I can pull a couple more wires in that conduit", not stopping at an accident you witnessed because you don't have the time, "but your honor, he needed killin".
It's just to what level you break a law or rule and to what level your mind can justify it.
OK that's enough ranting this morning.:smile:
