I should mention that yesterday I had a classic DMSI amog while on sales route. The same exact type happened several times during other incarnations of DMSI.
Basically it's me parking and someone from the neighborhood asks (or in yesterday's case, TELLS) me to move.
Yesterday I parked and this guy in his driveway starts yelling "HEY! Don't park in the middle of thesidewalk! You gotta give people room!"
"HEY! Move your car up!"
"HEY! YOU HEAR ME?"
I finally clued in he was yelling at ME. Got out of my car, looked at him, then looked ahead of my car. There was maybe 2 feet I could move, so I knew it was amogging. Unfortunately, I was intimidated and he's like "See what I mean?" I say "yeah." and move the car 2 feet ahead.
Not proud of the fact that I crumbled, but I'm not sure what I could have done. It's been my experience with those types of people that they can and do become violent.
Years ago encountered a guy like that on sales route and long story short he hit the phone out of my hand as I was about to call my manager because he was following me around the street harassing me.
Also, another negative notable, yesterday I involuntarily swallowed out of nervousness or fear many times. It was like hiccups as I couldn't seem to get a hold of myself.
