So it's been a while since I "blogged" last, and I figured it'd be fun to post up some new (hopefully funny/interesting) shit. I like to rant about random things (this is obvious if you've read about 90% of my other posts). So this time I'm just going to rant about a few random things that have been pissing me off lately, I figure if I can't change them I can at least yell about it :P. And so we begin:
*People that say "God forbid": This is something that never ceases to annoy the shit out of me. Whenever someones talking to someone, or a small group of people and says something but has to start with "God forbid". For example, if someones talking about life insurance and they say "God forbid you get killed in a car accident, but you really should have a good insurance policy". Why do you have to qualify it with "God forbid"? For one thing I don't believe in your "god" so jam it in your ass, and for two, I'm mature enough to realize the fact that sometimes bad shit just happends that I can't control. I don't need the little bit of comfort (or whatever the reasoning is behind people saying it) it's supposed to bring so keep your bullshit to yourself.
*People that refuse to drive the speed limit: It could just be me but this seems to be on the rise. When I first started driving (about 10 years ago), if you were on the highway you drove at least 55mph (or more likely 60-65) in the 55mph zones. If you were driving 50 you were getting passed or tailgated, but over probably the last 3-4 years (and certainly the last year or so) it seems like nobody drives the speed limit anymore. It's actually pretty rare that on my drives to and from work that I actually make it to the speed limit in all the speed zones (if I'm lucky it's probably 1/2 if them, usually the 30-45mph ones). It's not that I'm in a hurry, and I'm a pretty relaxed driver, but there's just no good reason I should be forced to drive 40mph in a 55mph zone cause some granny with glaucoma can't see the road, or some dip shit soccer mom is talking on the phone (more on this later), changing the radio, yelling at her brats, drinking an iced mocca latte, and is just to busy to drive down the fucking road. Worst of all on a 4-lane road (one where I should be able to just change lanes and avoid the slow drivers, there's always some asshole keeping pace with the person in the other lane, so in essence there's a rolling fucking roadblock in front of me. I really wish Illinois would make a law similar to other states where if your holding up more than X number of cars you have to pull over and let them pass.
*Cellphones: I was gonna say using cellphones while driving, then I realized, I just hate them period. Look, ok, I know their useful, I get that, but seriously I don't want to hear you talk to your fucking girlfriend when I'm walking in the grocery store. I don't wanna be at Best Buy looking at movies and have to listen to you drill your kids/husband/wife/whothefuckever on the title of that new movie you totally wanna see. I don't wanna get pulled out in front of, cut off, forced to drive 15mph under the speed limit, because your so involved in your discussion about what's for dinner that you forget your driving down the god damn road. What the fuck is going to happen between when you leave your house to go to the store and get back home that you need to be able to have contact with everyone you fucking know? (hint: nothing! now hang the fuck up).
