Packaging

There's something seriously wrong with packaging when I can get a 2,000 lb horse stopped without too much effort yet I have to strain to get into a jar of spaghetti sauce.

Dickies

 I had someone semi-lecture me this morning on how I need to work harder and do one thing completely before jumping to the next thing. Here’s the irony: They were wearing a dickie. Seriously, you can’t even get a whole shirt on and you’re going to lecture me about doing something completely. (For the record, I did tell them this).

Irritants in the Car

Nothing irritates me more than specifically parking about 9,000 parking spaces away from the store where there are literally no other cars, then having someone pull right next to me to park. There was a valid reason for this today. I had a massive truck with a 4-horse trailer today and some idiot parked right next to me. Ugh. He’s lucky I was too busy to scream at him out the window then side-swipe his car.

Fake Owls?

I love those little owl statues that people get to keep birds or whatever else off of their house. I have no idea what purpose they actually serve, but whatever it was, some dude was having some serious issues this morning.  I was behind him in Lowes and he had 8 in his cart. Wouldn’t it have been more cost effective to buy an actual owl?

Adversity

I’m amazed at how some people deal with adversity. There is a guy in my apartment complex with polio. He rides around the neighborhood in his wheelchair and is always in the best mood. On nice days, he likes to sit out on his stoop, read, and wave at the cars coming into the neighborhood. He’s completely wheelchair-bound, but he loves the smallest things in life, sunny days, trips to the library for a new book, and Snickers bars. I think we could all learn from him.
