Pet Peeves
I've decided to keep running totals on all the things that bug me. What can I say? I'm hyper-organized.
1) People who use the handicapped button in office buildings because they are too lazy to open a door themselves. No wonder this nation has an obesity epidemic. Hey fatass, it's a freaking door, not a 10k marathon.
2) People who don't use their turn signals. In a land of downright idiotic - bordering on criminally retarded - drivers, turn signals are of the utmost importance. Yes, it may be fun to zig-zag across the highway in your ever-so-relevant '87 Z28, but those of us who would like to reach our destination in one piece would appreciate at least some form of warning before your piece of shit ride comes flying into my lane.
3) Litterbugs. I'm starting to get militant about this. Living in Portland, people actually took pride in their environment. Like the old saying goes, "Don't shit where you eat." In Northern Nevada, the motto seems to be, "when in doubt, throw it out." Everywhere I go I see trash. It's really disheartening living in what is arguably one of the most beautiful places on earth - Lake Tahoe - and seeing soda and beer bottles defacing the scenery. I say we institute a three strikes and you're out policy. Three times the litterbug, you must spend three years living at the dump.
