You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
-- U2
Why do people piss me off? I mean, really? Do they see me coming and think, hey, she looks like a good target -- let's see how far we can push her before she breaks. Here we go again, you say, another rant about traffic -- well, that's only partly true. I'm just going to rant in general.
Why do people that I don't know feel the need to stand way too close to me in the check out line at Wal-Mart? Are they really in that much of a hurry that they have to be right over my shoulder as I write my check?
Why do people not respond when you give a friendly hello in passing? Just nod, or figure out some way to acknowledge the nice gesture -- it isn't that hard. I'm not asking you, a random stranger, to stop and have a thirty minute conversation with me. Just smile in return, ok?
Why do I have awful service almost everytime that I go out to eat? Again, do I just look like a good target? I'm nice, I'm not overbearing and I'm a good tipper. Please, just keep my water glass full and stop with the shtick and we'll be all good, ok?
What the HELL is wrong with drivers? Seriously, I have spent more time honking my horn in the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 6 months. I don't mean to be rude, but come on -- we're all adults -- act like it.
Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming...

- Someone too close to you at Wal-Mart. "I'm wearing Secret." If they say "what?" Say "I just figured you like the way I smell since your up in my armpits."
- Unhappy people passing you by without a smile...just feel sorry for them that they are unhappy with life...and stick you tongue out at them after they pass.
- Crazy drivers...Singing along to Evernecence (spelling) helps get the rage out...also just giving the finger helps too...but then you risk retaliation...ok maybe there's nothing to help you here...ah, walk.
On another note, I've met someone who was in the first graduating class of Grissom. I actually work with her here in Japan. Small world isn't it.
Love ya sis!
