What's Up???

So what's up:

With people who are rude to waiters and waitresses at restaurants? What a luxury to have someone rush around to serve you food for a typically small price. Rudeness to store clerks and retail personnel also falls into this category. My #1 pet peeve!

With people who take your turn at the 4-way stop? Is that extra five seconds they stole really gonna make a difference?

With people who eat off their plates while going through the salad bar and buffet line? They ram their mouths full of food while waiting to finish loading up their plates THEN touch the serving utensils that we ALL share with hands that were just in their slobbery mouths. This is how people die.

With people who are cheap for cheap's sake? I'm not talking frugal people who are smart with their money. I'm talking about the instructor in our recent childcare class who spent 15 minutes discussing the merits of mixing soap, water, and paper towels to make your own baby wipes and save money. I bought a thousand of those the other night at the grocery store for $2.50.

With people who sit directly behind (or in front of) you and talk during the whole movie? Maybe they have forgotten that they're not at home? I seem to attract these cinematic-verbose types!

With people (and now the gloves are really off) who are granted handicapped parking passes simply because they are overweight? Sad that overt obesity can actually be viewed as an incentive. And yet another reason we tip the scales higher than any country in the world.

If you have been affected by some of these same types of people, here's a great way to get revenge. Great ideas for "out annoying" all the annoying characters you come across! http://www.getannoyed.com/

Got another annoying situation or personality that drives you fruit? Feel free to add it to the "Comments" section below.

Talk to you soon. Until then pick up the pace and run your own race.
