Weekend Observations
It was another frantic weekend, but still, some observations made:
- Why do so many people in front of an ATM suddenly act like they are an alien just dropped onto this planet and learning our culture?
- I walked, barefooted, for about a half mile on the boardwalk. I don’t know who invented footwear, but I’d kiss the person’s hand if I ever met them.
- I cleaned my car out from several weeks of savage and brutal treatment by my 6 and 9 year old. 2 thoughts: thank God for the EPA and can a car qualify as a Super-fund clean-up site?
- Does anyone really believe that the detour signs will ultimately get you back to your intended destination?
- It’s hot out but I’m not even gonna consider going to the beach; my calendar says September so the summer’s over! Actually, I’m not talking about me but others I know.
- Why does the person driving 5 miles under the speed-limit always make it through the yellow light? It almost seems like an epiphany of the gas pedal occurs when green changes.
- Why does the recycling center have to be an unnerving experience? I’m told that the paper can go in either cardboard or the regular paper bin; and glass and plastic can be “commingled.” That kind of “loosey-goosey” approach offends my sense of order as an accountant. Each one should have their own separate containers, and everything in each counted.
- Why do families on tv commercials have no resemblance to any family I know, let alone any human being on this planet?
- Why can most drivers behind me read the VIN # on my dashboard better than I can? Oh, yes! I have bad eyesight. I knew there was a logical answer.
- Thanks for the option, but I trust the person at the window of the fast-food restaurant so if there’s a slight discrepancy in my change back, I’ll assume honest mistake. Now, is there a hotline for overpriced menu items?
- Electronic parking meters are not easy to navigate.
- Why do Monday mornings suddenly have a luster they never had when I was younger?
