RE: [RC] Securing Horses - heidiAngie said: So I got up and walked down there and in my best teacher voice said, "Hey, put a rope on that horse before it gets out and gets somebody hurt". They said, "She's done this before", and I said, "Yeah, well we've had people almost get get killed before so put a rope on that horse and tie it up. Oh, and by the way, I'm a real bitch when I get angry so you just might want to stay away from me when I'm on the trail or at my campsite. I shoot loose horses. Now, get up out of that chair and put a rope on your horse and do it now!" Howard said: I'm sorry, but I think going up and yelling at people you don't know is not the way to go here. Even if you don't live in Hillbilly Tennessee, where it pays to be friendly, it's just not something I'd suggest to anyone as a way to handle this type of situation. Gee, who said anything about yelling? I dunno about where you came from, Howard, but where I come from, teachers have sufficient authority to get their point across without yelling. And I suspect that that's what Angie was referring to when she said she told them in a "teacher voice...." In fact, with really GOOD teachers, when they get REALLY pissed off, they get REALLY quiet and intense--and then you KNOW you're going to the principal's office, and it ain't gonna be pretty....
