Smokers
who throw cigarette butts out the car window
When did our planet become the proverbial ash tray for all these idiots? I am
sick and tired of watching people throw out their cancer stick left overs all
over the highways and bi-ways of my city. What is the big deal anyway? You wouldn't
throw the butt on the floor of your home, would you? So why must these people
pollute the streets at large? Further more, as far as I know all modern cars
come with ash trays... If you don't want to get your ash tray dirty then don't
smoke in the car or carry something else for your garbage.
Sometimes I just wish there could be a little justice in the world. In my world
it would be okay for these guys to litter the streets with their trash, but
it would also be okay for all us non-smokers to urinate in their car... Think
about that.

Marks for Curly Quotes
Okay, was everyone asleep when I was in school - or do they not care? This is
probably one of the biggest problems I have with advertising today. Is it too
much to ask to look for the corrent type of quotation marks within the chosen
font and make your design piece rise above the worthless crap out there? Not
only is it sloppy its just plain lazy. With the advent of computers and software
this should be a non-issue. The sad thing is that it only shows that anyone
can work in advertising... Which brings me to a related subject...
Double
spacing in between sentences with word processors
Stop it - yes, you. Do you even know why you're doing what you're doing? It
was okay when you had a typewriter. Matter of fact, it was necessary back then.
Have you heard of monospacing? Hey, newsflash pal - modern programs like Word
and even that moronic program Wordperfect automatically take care of tracking
and modern day fonts have that information built into them. The result? Great
type and perfect spacing without hitting that stupid space bar twice. So go
forth and good riddance to bad habits.
Moronic
Drivers that get in your way on the road and freeway
Who are these people? With a whole lane empty before them for miles and beyond
they suddenly feel that they have to park their ass in front of you. To add
insult to injury these idiots are only doing a third of the speed you are. Do
you ever really wonder Road Rage got started? I don't anymore. Yes, inspite
of my upbringing I do feel that alleviating someone of their right to be moronic
should be part of our inaliable rights.
Idiots
that bring phones and pagers into movie theatres
Newsflash - you're not that important. So turn it off and get over it. Its these
types of people that keep me out of the theatre and in the DVD bargain bin.
I know there are some films that deserve the big screen treatment but its really
getting hard to justify. And this leads me to the other half of the theatre
attending public...
Loser
parents that take their kids to inappropriate movies
Can you say makings of a disturbed individual? What is it with these people?
Are you so hard up to go to the movies that you can't get a babysitter for the
kids? I mean really - No one under 18 should be watching a movie like 8MM but
there's always that moron with the underagers who are making it a pain for us
to concentrate all the while scarring their kids for life. I'm tired of parents
blaming everyone for the problems they have raising their own kids, in this
case, the behaviour is inexcusable. And for those of you who take babies to
really loud movies, here's a tip - don't. Your baby would really appreciate
the full development of his hearing physiology and we would love the peace and
quiet.
