All Things Irritating

I have a few little mini-rants I thought I'd share. I know, the excitement is just too much...

* Why is it that some people do not get the easy concept of the ON RAMP? For those who do not know, the ON RAMP's purpose is to allow traffic coming on the interstate to accelerate (the key word here is accelerate, folks) to the speed of the other traffic and then MERGE with said traffic. If the speed limit is 70, you are free to ACCELERATE to 70 mph and then MERGE. Going 35 mph on the ON RAMP and hitting your breaks as you reach the interstate is not only STUPID, it's dangerous. Do us all a favor and take the back roads and stay off the damn interstate if you cannot figure out how to use the freaking ON RAMP. Sheesh, it's not rocket science. And why is it that minivan drivers seem to be the ones most often afflicted with confusion on ON RAMPs?

* If it is 104 degrees out, the pavement is going to be scorching HOT. If it's 3 pm and your nasty, hasn't had a bath in a month, useless self is just crawling out of bed - use some of the sense God gave you and put SHOES ON YOUR BABY before dragging the poor baby across the street barefoot! You took the time to put shoes on yourself! And, if you are just THAT lazy you can't take a few minutes and put some shoes on that baby - at the VERY least, pick the poor baby up and CARRY HIM across the hot black asphalt to your beat up hoopty. When you don't, it makes normally laid back, law-abiding people such as myself want to get out of my vehicle AND BEAT SOME SENSE INTO YOU.

* I missed the memo that you, military shopper from hell, are the proud new owner of the commissary. Until the rest of us receive that memo, PLEASE stop acting as if you OWN every aisle in the commissary. There's no need to leave your cart in the middle of the aisle AT THE END - to go back two aisles to get something you forgot. The rest of us peons just might need to get around your cart and finish our shopping within this decade. And, when a group of ten of us finally get tired of waiting and move your cart over just enough to get by, dirty looks FROM YOU because we dared to move your cart might just get you a couple of "fuck you's" from frustrated shoppers - and damage your fragile ego. Just a little warning...

* If you've been too lazy to teach your children ANYTHING at home, please spare the rest of us and leave your animals at home. My 7 month old puppy would behave better in Wal-Mart than some children I've come across...and he's spoiled rotten.

I think that covers it for now...but I reserve the right to edit at any time and add a few more ;).
