A couple of weeks ago, we went to the Kennedy Space Center in beautiful Cape Canaveral, Florida. It was a perfect way to end a week of hard work at the job, and I was really looking forward to it.
My favorite thing to do is the bus tour. I also love hearing the drivers when they narrate the trip, and give you a history of what is happening. Before leaving, the driver always says to everyone to please keep their voices down during the narration in order for everyone else to hear. Well, some asshole always has to decide that the rule does not apply to him, so we had to deal with this. Keep in mind, this guy was about three rows behind us, but very loud.
KSCBD: Kennendy Space Center Bus Driver
SC: You know who
KSCBD: We are now passing by the Vehicle Assembly Building. The flag painted on the building......
SC: See there, son? That's the VAB, where the space shuttle and other rockets go to be worked on and.....
KSCBD: Now, this is a fifty story building that......
SC: And other there is one of the platforms they use to move the shuttle out. Can you imagine that, bud? It takes several hours......
KSCBD: On the property, they occasionally have problems with alligators. If you look in the ditch to our right, you can see......
SC: Oh! Look, Brian! That's a huge alligator! Yeah, they are all over the place.....
By now, many of us near this asshole have missed half of the narration, because all we can hear is him talking louder than the driver. I've seen the tour before, but the kids have not. I later on had to explain again what we had seen so they could understand it all.
The tour has three stops, so after you are done at one, you can board another bus to continue. Just as we were about to go, the loud talking asshole and his son were about to board the same bus. That was when we decided to wait for the next bus to come. We really wanted to hear the other tours without him talking over the narrations.
No one wanted to speak up as this guy also had arms that were almost half a foot in diameter, with tatoos all over them. Still, just because they look tough, you would think they would have some manners.

I have gotten a lot more vocal in calling out sucktomers in the last year or so because I am spending more time in the chair [although a canadian crutch makes a 4 foot long tonfa
