It's all about me....pt.2

THINGS I WHINGE ABOUT

Dangerous driving. I can handle people driving too slowly, or stealing your park in a shopping centre carpark, or blocking you in when you're parallel parking. Yeah, its rude, but I can deal with it. What REALLY shits me is the following....


a) When you are ahead of someone and the lanes merge and they accelerate to pull in front of you. It is incredibly dangerous and just plain ignorant. It makes me wanna run them off the road.
b) Tailgaters. How hard is it to leave 2 seconds between you and the car in front?!! It really isn't difficult. And yet, 95% of large car drivers tailgate. And even worse, get RIGHT UP YOUR ASS before changing lanes, which is dangerous and (at night when they have headlights as bright as the AAMI Stadium lights) rude as well. It's invariably Commodore and Falcon drivers and anyone driving a turbo charged heap of crap because they think that because they have a V6 and more power than they should be allowed to have, they have to make the most of it by speeding all the time.

c) People that change lanes RIGHT before a red traffic light. Most of us sensible drivers judge correct braking distance. When idiots do that, you're forced to rely on having new tyres and new brakes instead - it's unnecessary and puts people at risk. Prepare AHEAD OF TIME, people!!!

I get serious road rage from idiots like that. And anyone who has travelled with me driving probably knows this already.

Kids at school who don't wear deodorant. The year 8 boys smell really bad. I walked into school band practice the other day an hour after the last class had left and the lingering B.O. smell from the previous class hit me like a ton of bricks. My boss said she's so used to it, she doesn't even notice it anymore. How could she not notice it? I swear the smell has legs!


Incorrect grammar and punctuation. Some people get paid to make signs for a living. So you'd think that signwriting companies would employ people with SOME SEMBLANCE of grammatical and punctuation competency. If I see another pizza sign where they've written "2 Pizza's for $10", I'll force feed them the bloody thing. How hard is it to proof read, or if you're not sure, to ask someone? I don't think primary schools are working hard enough to make sure that children learn this. My primary school did. We didn't spend much time on it. But it was enough. But now, there are kids that don't know the difference between 'there, their and they're" and it's infuriating. It's really not that hard.

People whose vocal inflections sound as if every sentence is a question. Munnalita on The Biggest Loser spoke this way. It drove me BATTY! There must be a school for this somewhere - too many people do this.

Children. All children should be born at age 12. Although that would really hurt.....The End.
