Hi, my name is Skibo and I have a split personality

Actually I wouldn't consider myself having a split personality but when under stress I do tend to become less tolerant of human stupidity

(this is USUALLY while I'm driving and sometimes when I'm working....)

One minute, they’re nice, normal people. The next, they’re frothing at the mouse.

“It’s mind-boggling the things people will say and even the things I will say,” says Catherine McIntyre, a 38-year-old medical billing specialist from Houston. “People who’d never say something horrible in real life will do it again and again and again online. It’s like the behavior of crowds, or those mass beatings where no one gets blamed because everyone’s at fault.”

Actually, I try to control myself here because everyone here is so civil...but put me on the phone with an uninvited caller or a customer service issue and...well it isn't pretty.

You cannot believe what people will tell you..
it's sad,funny and scary.. all in the same call..

I'm afraid I'm pretty much the same everywhere.

Sweet, kind, unfailingly polite, kinda on the boring side

(not true...I have a crazy/sarcastic sense of humor...but it is only allowed out with a few very trusted people..and they are always shocked)

I've caught it a few times. Always surprised.

I guess I would say I'm pretty much the same online and in person.

Actually I think I'm a little more reserved in person....but I guess the people who have met me would know the answer better than I could explain it!

In real life....I have a terrible potty mouth....

I'm a Yankee fan and a Republican.

That automatically makes me an a$$hole.

But you get extra bonus points for honesty.
