Stupid People and General Irritants
Now I haven’t posted in a couple of weeks, which has given me plenty of time to sit back and take in the scenery, so to speak. Let me start by telling you about a city that really shouldn’t be where it is. That being Phoenix. Hey, I’ve got a great idea, let’s build a giant city in the middle of the desert, where there’s absolutely no water. And I swear to God, I never want to hear anyway say that “it’s a dry heat”. Let me tell you something - 100 degrees is a 100 degrees, I don’t give a shit how dry it is. What can you enjoy in 100 degree weather - NOTHING! And this was the end of October. It’s hotter in the summer. So instead of moving to a place that has an 85 degree climate, let’s all pack up and move to the desert and sit inside a house that’s air conditioned to 75 degrees. Yeah, that makes perfect sense.
Now let’s talk a little about driving in the left hand lane on the highway. This lane is reserved for myself, people passing other drivers, or people driving at 85+ mph. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT enter this lane if you don’t meet this criteria. It seems as of late this lane is now turning into the right hand lane, or slow lane. Just because you’ve entered the “fast lane”, doesn’t mean you’re actually increasing your speed. You need to use the accelerator to accomplish this. Let’s step it up people.
Moving on to alarm clocks. I’m not opposed to using the snooze button, if you only use it once - twice at the most. But when you have to hit it 4,5, or even 6 times, you need to just set the alarm for 40 minutes later. You’re not getting quality sleep when you keep hitting the snooze and it’s just plain annoying. Don’t use the excuse well I can’t get up if I don’t. Here’s an idea, move your alarm clock across the room. You’ll have to physically get out of bed and the likelihood of you falling back asleep is minimal. And for all of those people that set your clocks 9 minutes (or some other random time) fast, suck it up and set it to the normal time. The phrase “this way I’m always on time” is just negated by the fact that you know exactly how much time you’ve set your clock ahead. Here’s a more practical approach - set your alarm 9 minutes sooner. Problem solved!
Back to driving irritants. Is there really any need to drive at 40 mph through a parking lot. I mean I’ve never seen kids or other pedestrians in parking lots so that must be a safe approach and hell it must save all kinds of time when getting to your destination. Don’t be an idiot and just slow down.
That is all for now. Read up and enjoy.
