Perfect It Aint

As the title indicates, perfect it aint. I'll rant and rave, maybe even curse once in a while. You are welcome to join me with your comments. At worst I'll just tear out the rest of my hair. At best, I may agree with you. Or maybe I'll just ignore it, because you know, perfect it aint!

Welcome to the Blog

After long thought, it just makes sense to me to start this mess so I have a place to vent my frustrations about the world to the world. As the title suggests, Perfect It Aint, neither the world nor my comments upon the rare crazies I see on a daily basis. Like for instance--

Why do those idiots continue to run the same stop signs over and over, even though they have seen the crashes that result?

Does anyone ever give turn signals anymore?

Whatever possesses those people (?) to let the fire truck pass and then ignore the 500 foot rule, and stay right behind the truck all the way to the fire?

Then there's the guy or gal who pulls out in front of me when I'm doing the speed limit of 55 mph, refuses to put his foot on the gas , and pulls off the road within 200-300 feet, without any signal I might add. Horns and lights do no good. Gestures are useless. They are completely oblivious.

Oh, and the one I caught the other day. Sitting at the red light I looked across to see who was coming to meet me through the intersection, and lo, there she sat--cigarette in one hand, cell phone in same hand, cup of what appeared to be coffee in the other hand, along with some type of paper she was trying to read, giving a left turn signal. When the light turned green I just sat there whikle she proceded to turn right, after waiting until she had unloaded the cup of whatever it had in it.

Friends, stupidity prevails upon this land. Its out there waiting for you, just open your eyes and see.

These are very mild occurrences compared to what really irks me.

We'll get to those later.
