Only a little cranky today. Bitching about it (sort of) may prove therapeutic. Or cathartic. Whatever. Pick your adjective.
Bloggers: Avoid designing a blog with black background and white font, because it's very hard on the eyes and difficult to read. Especially when those eyes are suffering the effects of aging (affects?).
Tailgaters: The person in front of you can only go as fast as the car in front of it, asshole.
Writers: Check your spelling or at the very least have someone proofread or edit for you. For example: Deodorizer is not spelled deoderizer. That said...understand that I reserve the right within my own blog to mutilate all the grammar rules as we know them. Don't judge me.
Shoppers: If there is an arrow on the pavement in a parking lot it's a signal that you should be traveling in the direction the arrow is pointing. Go with the flow, friends.
Interstate travelers: When other motorists are attempting to merge onto the interstate and there is nobody in the left lane preventing you from changing lanes in order for the merger to...well...merge, MOVE OVER!!!
Gasoline pumpers: Pay attention to the warnings at the gas station and avoid putting yourself and the rest of us in danger. Talking on your cell phone while pumping gas is now prohibited.
Any customer service professional: The economy is bad. I spend a lot of money with your business. Treat me with a little kindness, courtesy, and respect. Say please once in a while. See? I've lowered my standards even. I would settle for manners even once in a while. The point? And this may be a news flash for you: It will be hard for you to find another job if you get fired, because I complained about the way you treated me!!! That's a fact, Jack. And by the way--it would have been nice to know about that discount before I made my purchase decisions...I might have actually spent MORE money!
Medical professionals: Talk to one another so that you all can avoid giving conflicting medical instructions to the patient!!! Please! And seriously. Lives are literally at stake and some of you don't seem to understand that and it's really no wonder sometimes people die needlessly.
That is all.
