....that they can't realize that being a "hip cultural non-conformist" simply means absolute conformity to the prevailing standards of Bohemian non-conformity?
...Valentines Day is all about the woman? Isn't love supposed to go both ways? Been married to the same wonderful woman for nigh 35 years and have never celebrated Valentines Day. We decided we didn't need a special day to remind each other how much we love each other. We frequently surprise each other with little gifts and notes throughout the year. (Whew. Glad I proofread that. I typed I was married to the same wonderful "women" for nigh 35 years! )
Steve, I know what you are talking about....it can be frustrating. As a side note.... I live in Northern Virginia. Home of I95, I66, I395, and the dreaded I495 Beltway. I most often get in to the far right lane (except to pass) and drive at least the speed limit. I still can get flipped off at times. Far too may folks in this area that you cannot drive fast enough for, no matter the situation.
......You call a tollfree number for help and after pressing 1 for english ( I hoped for Azerbaijani) you get a endless menu that eventually takes you back to main menu. After several attempts you are told a LIVE OPERATOR is assisting other customers but to hold. Now you are listening to the theme music for EXODUS or easy listening that isn't. Finally you hear a voice giving a name and reading from a scripted response list. She is usually talking as fast as she can, bad connection and with an accent unknown at the U.N. You interrupt and explain the problem. She starts reading a procedure for clearing cookies on your computer or burning juniper leaves at candlemas while singing azerbaijani shaman chants to the mountain spirits. You say thankyou and she asks if she can help you with anything else? No and you hang up. You get a text from the company asking if you would take a survey on your recent call experience. The tollfree call has taken such a toll you disconnect all electronic media, close the curtains, dim the light and think back to Ma Bell with live operators, paper catalogs in the mail and lonely men dialing random numbers and hyperventilating as they described their deepest fanatasies.
^clearly, that was your original mistake right there. Juniper smoke interferes with the "magic blue smoke" held inside all electronic devices.
Actually, a lot of over the road trucks are governed out at 65 MPH these days, and the passing truck literally might only be able to go a half a mile an hour faster than the other one. It actually can take them ten miles to pass each other. (Exaggerated for effect.) So the dude in the slow truck who's getting paid by the mile isn't going to drop off to let the other guy by, because by the time he does that for every truck that wants to pass him in his eleven hours of road time, he just lost fifty bucks. Doesn't make it any less irritating, but it isn't some conspiracy to ruin your day.
Why is it when you are in a coffee shop lineup there is that one person ahead of you who orders a coffee and then when it's time to pay sets her massive key ring with 25 keys, good luck charms and amulets, cell phone and her massive purse on the counter and then rummages around for a minute searching for her four inch thick wallet, then sift through half a dozen credit cards, or searches for that change purse deep at the bottom of her main purse to pay $1.50. And then take another minute gathering up her keys, wallet, phone and purse and coffee to leave? Why can't people anticipate that when they go somewhere to order a coffee they are going to have to pay for their order and take out a couple of bucks to pay BEFORE they get in line to place their order????
That's all fine and good... But they can wait ten seconds if they were perfectly content the five minutes before Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
... that people ask questions while already knowing they won't like the answer? Seriously, if you don't want an answer, then just don't ask.
When the front car in the left turn lane doesn't move forward to wait for an opening in oncoming traffic which would allow a few people in the line behind to make it thru before the light turns red.
