Manners and Their Practical Application to Life

Okay, I have noticed a disturbing trend in society. People are fucking stupid.

I wouldn't have so much of a problem with religion, education, and politics if they actually taught people useful things. I mean, honestly, social control is the primary function of these institutions that were originally created for EDUCATION.

For example. If I open the door and stand by it as you approach, don't fucking stand there, go through the damn door. I wouldn't be standing on the wall side of the door if I wanted to go through, I opened it for you. Oh, and if you do somehow manage to find said opening and go through it successfully, a thank you is always the cherry on top. I don't like you, I don't even know you, I do it for the thanks. You see, I collect them.

Another thing, big in my book, PASS LEFT KEEP RIGHT MOTHERFUCKERS!!! If I come up on your ass at 80 mph in the left lane and the right lane is so devoid of traffic it resembles the ranks of the prohibitionist party, kindly move to the right lane. Or, you can force me to pass on the right and then flick me off from the comfort of that oh-so-confining left lane. You are a recruiter for the NRA and you don't even know it...

Lastly, a host of others that upset me:

If I give you space in front of me to get over to pass a semi, get over, don't slow down cuz that makes me look like a bad driver and now we're both going slow and blocking both lanes.

You are driving down the street. I am waiting to cross the street. I wave you to continue driving. There you go.. why the FUCK are you stopping?! Did my frantic waving to continue confuse you? Are you epileptic and the fact I have a neon pink shirt with bright yellow gloves cause you to go into seizorama when I waved? No, so keep driving asshole. You car, me pedestrian. I have right of way which I literally waived (+2 Pun Points!) to you.

I swear if they'd just cut the war on drugs and make a "things everyone should know" PSA and send it to everyone this country would start to kick ass again.

Educate yourself, because God, George W. Bush, and your teachers (college and some High School exempt from this comment) aren't going to.




This is not my beautiful wife...

"You are recruiting for the NRA and don't even know it." Love it.

Of all the things you mentioned (people riding in the left lane being a CLOSE second), the thing that irritates me the most is the pedestrian deal. I just don't get that shit, "here, come on, run into the street because I'M giving you permission!"

Perhaps it's some sort of elitism? I'd like to add to the pedestrian dilemma, but this time both people are in cars. What the hell is the person thinking who stops and yields for another car of ONCOMING TRAFFIC to is turning LEFT!? I understand creating a space if there is traffic in front of you that isn't moving, but somebody seriously held up traffic behind her to wave me to turn left.
It's as if they're practicing a twisted sort of good sumarianism that makes them look like nice people, except to the people that are fucked behind them.
a-s-s-h-o-l-e-s, cause longer words are more insulting.

also, can you guys get Haloscan (I think at www.haloscan.com) for comments so that I don't have to log in every time I want to post.

It really is a posting deterrent.
