Roundabouts suck!



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Pronouncing the L in Salmon

People that want to SALE something

People driving in front of me with the right of way that stop to let other cars in

Bartenders that can't make a proper Manhattan or a Margarita

Assholes driving in the PASSING lane


Able bodied people on disability.

Then they get their handicapped plate and think it's a badge of honor

People parking in handicap spots who are not disabled. They have the plate or hang tag, but the person getting out/in the vehicle has no mobility issue.

People who post pictures they shot (like a rifle especially) and don't crop it to look presentable. Namely the feet in the shot. Mad

At eighty years old, I have discovered that I really don't have much time left to say thanks to all of the people in my life that contributed to my many happy moments, much less time to waste on thinking about the numerous ass-holes that share this earth with me

That being said, I do manage a few grumbles toward my kinfolk that I reserve time to have a lunch or breakfast with them and they seem to be more fascinated with their stupid phones. If meals with me are not rewarding, just say so and let me get on with my precious limited time!

I just recommend you keep your pet peeve on a leash.

That is all.

Cashiers that put 98 cents in change on top of a ten year old dollar bill and try to hand it to you.
Just spill it all over the counter, I'll pick up the 3 quarters and leave.
Why do they train them to do it that way?

I had a hot rant about this one a while back, too.

Until the lady kindly explained to me, "I've parked my mother's car here -- she's the owner of this vehicle with the handicap tag -- so I can go into the store and help her back to the car."

I had to back down quickly (and probably somewhat sheepishly) on that one. Wink

(Who here was it who said, "never miss an opportunity to shut the heck up"? I kinda missed my opportunity that day.)




God bless America.

Tails and that last section of shell left on shrimp in dishes you eat with utensils like a shimp linguine or a gumbo.

You either have to cut the tail off and lose the meat in it or you have to peel it off and get sauce all over your fingers. Unless it’s a shrimp cocktail, lose the damn tail!

When a lane is closed temporarily, I shift well ahead of the actual closure. A lot of people zoom right past the closure signs and cones, then expect me to let them in at the point where the lane is closed. Hey, fuck you, asshole, you could have merged over with the rest of us.
