Driving: Even idiots can do it!

Well, this is a pretty generic one that everybody can relate to. I was stopping at a four way intersection going south. The person traveling east and I stopped at the same time, and the person traveling west stopped after us both. After the person traveling north who had stopped before all of us went I let the guy going east go first. After he went I went, but before I was out the first half of the intersection the jerk going west started to go as if he was supposed to go before I was. That was irritating, but not as bad as later on. I saw about 5 cars blow through a red light at a four way only because there was a train blocking travel in one direction. Now I saw a lot more bad driving today and every single other day as a matter of fact and that brought something to my attention. Every single person that drives ignores multiple rules of the road. Nobody actually drives as the law states that they should. I think it's just that people are either too lazy to care, or they just don't care at all, and in both cases they're probably ignorant morons as well. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not always perfect myself but I don't blatantly ignore laws such as stopping at red lights. People need to wise up and start following the rules of the road, not for them, but for the safety of those around them.

People that put their gum ANYWHERE

Under the table, under the desk, out on the street, it's stuck to your feet! You pry and you prod and you scratch and you scrape, it makes such a mess that you just can't escape. They chew and they chomp and they chew it some more, when it loses its flavor they take out some more! They think "What to do with this gum?" since it's done, "I'll stick it right under my chair that's real fun!" Right in a place where another will touch, they'll put more than one piece they'll just put so much. The whole underside of the desk will be covered, and then when you reach under there it's discovered! They think that it's funny when your hands go south, and you touch something that's been inside of their mouth. Do they do it for fun? I think that's just crazy. I think the real reason's because they're all lazy. They're selfish and ignorant chewing on their gum, they can't see the equation or get to the sum of their most awful action and I'll tell you why, they're all lazy jerks and I hope they all fly far away to a place where I'll never have to be, maybe then their old gum can no more bother me.

Wow, I didn't expect to write a poem, especially not on this blog, but I do love to write it.

Honestly, I don't see how hard it is to put your gum into a trash can! The places in which people do it usually have trash cans EVERYWHERE such as in schools. That's just the epitome of laziness, when you won't even swallow your own gum instead of sticking it somewhere for it to stay forever. You may be confused, isn't swallowing your gum lazier than sticking it somewhere? No, let me explain to you why this is. When you throw it out you dispose of it properly, when you swallow it the gum gets digested and properly disposed of with everything else you shove down your throat. When you stick it on an artificial surface such as a desk, table, sidewalk, ledge, drawer, pipe, basically anything man made, it will stay there for years and years due to the time it takes to break down under those circumstances. You can even throw it in the grass, and it will break down faster due to it being surrounded by natural chemicals and compounds, like what comprises gum. Seriously think the next time you consider sticking your gum somewhere you shouldn't, because it will stay there for a long time, and I can GUARANTEE you that whoever has to clean it up is NOT going to be pleased. Trust me on this one, I am a janitor.

RIPOFFS

I love 7-Eleven just to let everybody know, now on with the rant.

I went to 7-11 today, and boy was I PISSED. It's SUPPOSED to be 89 cents for ANY slurpee, that's what the fliers at the place say, and there's NO FINE PRINT. So I bring my 52oz X-treme Gulp cup, fill it up and then go to the counter to pay. She rings it up at 1.59, but I wasn't going to say anything since this is only a three day deal, and I go to this establishment quite often. After that my friends does the same, and he says "Isn't it 89 cents for any Slurpee?" She says it's only for the clear plastic cups, and that it's not for refills. That made me angry right there, but what pushed it even further was that fact that she rang us both up for a slurpee refill at or above 53oz, even though we had the 52oz cups. That was the worst experience I have EVER had at 7-11, and I had better not find myself writing about it the next two days.

Facebook Messenger

You know how Facebook has that feature where it shows your online friends and allows you to talk to them? Yeah, I hate that crap because every time I go to talk to somebody they're online, but then I say something, hit send and it says they're offline. I think it's like a bad form of AIM, because at least with that you can block people or just not give out your screen name. With the FB application however if there's a friend you have but you don't really want to talk to them and you both happen to be using FB at the same time you can't avoid the chance that they may say something to you. Now I do understand that there are some pages where you are unable to use it, but for the most part nobody is on those pages long enough for it to matter. I'm starting to think that some people just don't want to talk to me. They could at least man up and say I don't want to talk to you, that way I wouldn't waste my time. People don't understand that it's better to have somebody know that you don't like them than to have them think you're friends.

ASSumptions

Well, I walked in my door as I always do and my mom says Hi. I didn't respond for like two seconds and then she said What's wrong? That really aggravated me seeing as nothing was wrong and I was merely walking in the door. It further angers me that she just went straight to a conclusion that was negative. If she's going to do that she could at least give it a light touch by saying something like "Long day today?" At least that implies that maybe I'm just worn from the day and not just peeved. I just hate it when people say something as if they've got you all figured out but they're entirely wrong. I hope I can someday find somebody that won't do that to me and that will truly understand me. Well I already do, so let's clarify: A woman that understands me. If only dreams could come true....

Science

I hate science for many reasons, the main one being how they treat theories as facts. Everybody knows that evolution makes no sense and that it's never been proven, yet science treats it as fact. Nobody knows what dinosaurs looked like, what they ate, how they walked, or how they sounded, yet science claims to know all of this. I also hate all of the millions of years stuff, and that dinosaurs and humans never lived together, even though they've dated both dinosaur fossils and a fossilized dinosaur footprint which also has a human footprint next to it that have both been dated only a few thousand years old. I just can't stand how they claim to know everything when they are clearly wrong on a lot of what they supposedly know.

Name Thieves

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's somebody who comes into a place where you're already well established, and then steals your name. Until Next week I will still be working at Chili's, and there is a server named Mike Peterson. Everybody calls him Peterson, or The Peterson. Now, he parades around as if he is the restaurant Peterson. Guess what? I was Peterson before he was, therefore I don't feel it's fair that he gets last name privileges. It's doubly hard for me to retain a name since I'm Dan Peterson, one of the most common first and last names especially with people in my age group, there are so many darn Dans. I have a friend named Dan Senesac and that is also his dad's name, as my dad's name is also Dan Peterson. What a coincidence. Either way, I was always called Peterson, therefore we were both able to retain a name, and actually, I usually refer to him as Senesac, though I think we both call each other Dan while we are in company. I don't know where I digressed but the point is that name thieves are gay.
