I was referring to people who do 50 -55 on the highway and refuse to get out of the left lane even when there is a trail of cars behind them.

I have a headache and an hour to go. Then I get to deal with bad interstate drivers as discussed in this thread. Late days suck.

I think it comes down to manners and ettiquette. No one has them anymore or knows the meaning of the word. Politeness has gone away from society and been replaced by self-absorbed, self-important egotism.

Me too.

hell, if someone is blocking my way, I'll say excuse me, but if they don't move the fuck out of my way, I WILL bulldoze my way through them. I just have NO TOLERANCE for that shit. I try to be observant and aware of my surroundings, and it is extremely rude of people who seem to not give a shit. So in return, I choose not to give a shit if they don't let me pass and I have to be rude back.

Dumb arse oblivious pedestrians have been pissing me off lately as well.

I sometimes do a "warning bump" - let my bag bump into them, or bump their bag, something like that, just to let them know they're ina crowded public place, but never forceful enough that I couldn't insist it was an accident.

Yesterday I was pushing a trolley along a wide but busy footpath, and the temptation to nip a few ankles was terribly strong. I managed to resist.

You may be on to something... I'll have to give this one some thought.

The worst are the people meandering around like zombie pinballs, talking on their cell phones. If people can't even walk while talking on those things, imagine how distracted they are while driving.

Facebook. We had a great April Fool's day prank lined up, FB (and an unforetold business trip) foiled it.

call centers operated by poor English speakers who treat me like I'm the one with the problem. Which of course I am really....

So I bought a pretty robin egg blue springy sweater last night, and just had to wear it today.

Immediately got coffee on it. Tide To Go just spreads the stain around.

Sigh, I suck as a girl. :p

SteveDallas · 04-02-2009, 11:18 AM

I'm sorry about your sweater. I really am.

But, could you post a pic? I promise nobody will laugh.

Shawnee123 · 04-02-2009, 12:27 PM

Number One: I don't have my camera with me.

Number Two: uh, no.

You really can't see the spot now unless you're looking for it. See? No, closer...closer...

I have a cold.
