Some points, some pointlesses..

If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little. -George Carlin-

I thought for this post, I would just sort of rapid fire a few observations/irritations put there.

1) When did it become common practice and acceptable for people to bring their dogs into stores shopping with them? I love my dogs, don't get me wrong, but I would never consider going into a store with them under my arm (they are too heavy anyway), or even on a leash for that matter. Thank-you Paris Hilton!

2) Why do people have so much trouble making up their mind when they get to the teller at the bank? They went in there for a reason in the first place, and then had the time in line to go over it again (and again, and again...), but the moment they get to the wicket, they suddenly feel the urge to forget what they originally wanted to do and to find the most complicated way to do the simplest transaction.

3) Are the way the lines work at Tim Horton's REALLY that hard to comprehend? What would make a person think that they are somehow entitled to walk in the door, past the people that were there before them, and go straight to the counter to place their order? The less rude people, of course, simply mull around near the line, letting one or two people go first, and then decide to go ahead of the rest of the people in line.

4) People over the age of 13 that ride their bikes on the sidewalk need to publicly flogged. The ones that refuse to move over and let the walkers pass should be flogged doubly so and then drawn and quartered. I have been bumped, nudged, forced over, and harassed far too many times. Far be it for a pedestrian, using a sidewalk designed for pedestrian use, to be in the way of a bicycle using the sidewalk, that is not intended or legal for it to use. Get on the road where you belong.

That's it for now. I am fairly sure I'll do one of these posts again.

Pax, all.
