I try to avoid their parking lots as much as possible, but yes I don’t shortcut through them when I can’t. They are always way too busy for that to even be a little safe.

I could probably loosen up a bit about the parking lot thing but only when they are truly not full of cars. I’ve had people almost run me over in packed parking lots because they cut through when they couldn’t see around obstructions.

The US not getting involved in WWI would have helped as well.

That’s what I would do too because I am a geeky, bookish, civic-minded, politically correct, do-gooder. To a fault. My husband makes fun of me because I put on my seat belt to drive to the other side of a parking lot. I not only return my grocery cart but any loose ones I can manage. I pick up other people’s garbage,…

there are obviously more superior animals at a petting zoo ripe for stealing?

I would also add chicken or vegetable stock as well.

OMFG I loved her on Orange is the New Black, especially when she and Piper recognize each other because it really drives home the point of how awful Piper is without even realizing it.

I love the bit about Gary Larson because he probably has that happen all the time.

I doubt he’ll ever truly be safe.

I would have jumped out of my fucking skin as well, and I don’t even have a bunch of crazy people wanting to kill me because of words. I actually felt bad for laughing at that story because it must be truly horrible to live under what he has lived under for this long.

You know that was Drunky McPuncherson’s first thought.

I love you completely and without reservation for this. You deserve a universe of stars.

That was Tom Hiddleston? I didn’t even recognize him.

They would fucking love a time machine then they could go back to the “good ole days” when gays, women, and those foreign people knew their place.

In many denominations yes that is indeed the case. My husband has told me about the time his congregation (Missouri Synod Lutheran) had a heated debate about whether to allow a woman to be principal of their church school. I tried going to that church for a brief period but finally gave up because I was tired of…

plus they are making it so your lazy ass can stay at home

I hate when people do that. I don’t want your smoke (or vapor in the case of vape-ing friends) blown in my face. I know one guy who excuses his huge vape clouds by saying it smells better than cigarettes at least. Well yes and no, sometimes the shit he has in his rig smells like someone dropped ass.

I truly think (because I can’t lose any more faith in humanity at this point) that most of that behavior is just people getting caught up in their own day and not realizing they’re being rude. So when it is pointed out to them they have the good grace to be embarrassed and apologize. It’s just a subset of humanity who…

I just wish I had enough guts to up the ante by telling them they have to wait in line patiently the way I would say that to a 3 year old. I don’t have the guts to do that so I have to settle for glaring or rolling my eyes.

I hate when I’m in a very long line and someone is behind me huffing and puffing like that. I just want to shake them and yell that we’re all waiting in the same damn line. It’s like the asshole in traffic behind you honking like you can go anywhere or somehow make the cars in front magically move or something.
