A Bit Of A Vent

• For the love of everything good, TAKE YOUR LANE.  I am beyond sick and tired of people holding up traffic waiting for the second lane of a roadway to become clear before they turn onto it.  Take the FIRST lane, then MERGE.  I promise that people will let you in.  

• Parents, if you cannot part with your precious smart phones long enough to actually ENGAGE your children while at the park, you're sending a message to your children that they are LESS important than your phone.  PUT THE PHONES DOWN.

• Parents, if you refuse to parent your children in public and when my children are involved, I will parent them for you.  And, it won't be pretty.  I have NO patience for parents who are scared of their children and afraid of making a scene.  I will make a scene and it will be scarier than your kid could ever be.

• When in a queue at any store, don't wait for the cashier to tell you the total before you decide to start digging around in that piece of luggage you call a purse for the money.   You've just had plenty of time to be ready with your cards/cash while she or he was ringing the items through.  

• Those enigmatic Facebook status updates such as, "I can't believe it!" are not endearing.  It's called, "Attention Seeking" and no one likes it.

• No one is impressed with your huge, noisy motorcycle.  Especially when you rev it louder in community neighbourhoods and drive by our houses during nap time.   That kind of stellar masculinity is hard to come by. P.S. Your appropriate age called - he wants his maturity back.

•  Cats are not meant to WANDER the streets of a city.  There is no such thing as an "outdoor cat".  It's called a "BY LAW" keep it leashed or keep it INSIDE.

•  I am begging you...BEGGING YOU.  Take OFF your baseball hats in restaurants!!!  

• If you decide to grow your fingernails disgustingly and nauseatingly long, please refrain from showing them to me or using them to make little noises on the table or any other hard surface. And for the love of Pete, DON'T flick them with your other nails. *shudder*

• When you are driving on a road that has two lanes running in the same direction, the left lane is still considered the FAST/PASSING lane.  It is NOT meant for cruising 30kms below the speed limit.  MOVE OVER.

• It's not "All THE sudden" it's "All of A sudden".  COME ON!

  There.  I said it.
