I was raised believing that there were rules and you were to follow those rules specifically. Apparently not everyone in the world was raised by my mom and dad so they don't exactly know this!
I just don't get why people think the rules don't apply to them?!?!? First example: You're eating at a buffet. It boldly says "NO SHARING TOLERATED" yet these IDIOTS try to "sneak" stuff to the other non-paying customers then want to get all up in someone's face because they think that sign doesn't apply!! Like I said, IDIOT!!
Second example: Driving. Now listen, you really shouldn't get me started on people driving. I really kind of have a sort of phobia in regards to cars and driving and can stand on my soap box for hours on end. But I pulled out of mom and dad's driveway today and slowly (so Cale and Oma can have their round of hide-n-seek) pulled away from the house. Next thing I know, a truck comes TEARRRRRRING around the corner and although I'm moving, he tries to go AROUND me!! Ummmm. . .what?!?! Then slams on his breaks and rides my butt like a dog in heat. We are in the middle of a freaking neighborhood hello!!!! The ironic thing is this isn't all that uncommon in their neighborhood. It's filled with stay-at-home-moms with too much money and too many plastic surgery/botox/yoga appointments to attend so they are ALWAYS flying down the road in their spiffy SUVs that they shouldn't be given a license for. (wow, that was an awful long sentence!!)
Third example: You're at a restaurant and it clearly states "WE DO NOT ACCEPT CHECKS" and the MORONS beside you go to pay with a check. The conversation that ensues:
Waiter: I'm sorry ma'am, we don't accept checks.
Moron: WHAT!?!? What do you mean you don't take checks.
Waiter: I'm sorry, we accept cash and credit cards.
Moron: I don't keep cash on hand and credit cards are BAD for you! Why didn't you tell me you didn't take checks?
Waiter: Well ma'am, it states on the entryways and the menus that we don't accept checks.
Moron: *as she pulls out wads of cash that she supposedly doesn't carry and mumbling* I don't see why you can't take my check. It's a good check. You should have told me that you wouldn't accept my check. I didn't know that the signs meant you don't accept MY checks.
Waiter: (or probably what he's thinking) Yeah you're right you fat broad, we should have had a sign posted that said "HEY STUPID MORON LADY IN THE PURPLE PLAID PANTS FROM 1973 THAT FIT YOU WHEN YOU WERE 9, WE DON'T TAKE YOUR FREAKING CHECKS SO COME BACK WHEN YOU APPLY FOR A CREDIT CARD AND PREFERABLY ALSO AFTER YOU SHOWER!"
Stupid people. . .one of my pet peeves. I am so going to make a blinkie that says I HATE STUPID PEOPLE!!
