The things people do...that irk you
« on: March 28, 2016, 09:40:09 AM »
Like veering into your lane on the highway at the same moment your car is adjacent to theirs.  Why would they do that?  You glance over and see they're on the cell phone sending a Tweet or something.

or

Like when you're taking your senior mom to the park to get her out of the house for some air and sunshine, but all the handicap parking spaces are taken, and you notice most are being used by apparently able bodied people with HC placards.  Sorry mom, I'll have to help you get to the park from the far side of the parking lot.  This guy with the truck lifted 5 ft off the ground needed the blue space more.

When the speed limit is 45 mph and the person in front of you is doing 35 mph right until they see the stop light turn yellow then they gun it to 55 mph and make the light while you get caught by it.

When older people complain about how lazy the younger generation is then they demand a store associate go ten feet down the aisle to get them a cart when they are perfectly able to do so themselves. They'd just rather finish their phone call about their Saturday plans.

So are you mad about the vehicle he drives, or that he parked where you wanted to?  Because I generally give the benefit of the doubt to anyone who had a doctor sign off on their needing a handicapped tag.  Pull your car up to the curb or something for the 2 minutes to help load your mom, no one is going to gripe.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
