Why cant they go to the store when it's off peak hours? It's not like they have anything else to do?? Seriously?

I get so fed up with folks who are not considerate of other people's time and they just take FOREVER when it is UNNECESSARY!

The interesting part is these are the people who have lived life long enough to realize that life is too precious to rush through it. This is a sore inconvenience for those of us who have not. LOL

The season doesn't have time for such folks.

not on my lunch hour or on my way to work - when I have to run in walgreens to pick up something essential.

Nope, I do not have time.

They do crazy things on their lunch hour... like sit down and eat lunch.

Funny thing, I was just griping to my dad about this subject this morning, and he told me the funniest thing. Yesterday he took my mom to the mall and he dropped her off at the door and went to find a parking space.

He drove his car around another car that was parked at the curb letting an old woman get out. He said "I wasn't mad or honking my horn or rushing them, I just pulled around them", and as he drove past, the old man (mind you, my dad is in his early 60's, so for him to say old man, this guy had to have been pushin 80) turned to him and flashed his middle finger!!!

Here in AZ, the average age has gone up 10+ years the past month as snowbirds from all over the Midwest have descended.
No big deal but many of them are EXACTLY like the people described here. Many have no concept of the fast lane versus slow lane and will easily do the limit or 5 miles under in the fast one. Most also do not use their blinkers -at all. There have already been a couple of deaths in the past month within a block (we have large blocks here) from older couples who simply pull out without looking assuming that any oncoming cars will look out for THEM.

Lord,

My son told me the Mexicans at work are always doing that to him. He says back to them, "Is that how many of your parents are white?"

Nothing bothers me about Christmas - EXCEPT - that you can't sell a "Christmas" tree. It has to be a Holiday tree - as per my SIL who is a manager at Lowe's.

All of the Holiday Solstice and Happy Holidays bugs me!!!

Fred Thompson's wife was being interviewed on Fox News, recently, and someone wished her a Merry Christmas. She said, "I am so glad that you made a point of saying that and I am saying 'Merry Christmas' back to you!"

Naw, they just woke up one morning and found that the neurons responsable for "consideration" died.
