Instead they leave the thing wibbly-wobbling perilously in the breeze where any moment it will careen into my car’s paint job.<br />2) I walk my dog through a lovely greenbelt area near my house that multitudes of dogs use as a toilet. I guess dogs will do what dogs need to do, but fergawdsake, people…pick up the poop! I have never once seen a dog wandering through the area off leash without an owner nearby. These smelly deposits are left by animals whose owners are walking close enough that they are fully aware their dog just left a smelly load in an area where people walk and kids play. Sure, picking up poop is kind of weird, smelly, and inconvenient…but so is getting it on my shoes. There oughta be a law. Harrumph…there is!<br />I could go on…but lest I be perceived as a cranky old woman I will leave it at those two. I am self-aware enough to realize that the fact that so many humans do so many things to irritate me so much that I may actually have a bit of a problem myself. But truly, if everyone did what I did I know I would be a lot happier! <br />Susan Sprickmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146286857215408059.post-44448439372221565212016-01-19T13:50:39.742-08:002016-01-19T13:50:39.742-08:00You seem to be a very self-aware person, sazzy, an...You seem to be a very self-aware person, sazzy, and I can't agree with you more about people who take up two parking spaces. I should have added that one!Rosy Brewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156447894512749413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146286857215408059.post-59817657118712415092016-01-19T11:07:53.866-08:002016-01-19T11:07:53.866-08:00I TRY to be self aware tho I never called it that....I TRY to be self aware tho I never called it that. I find more and more that I will stop to appreciate something and live in that moment....<br /><br />I was shaking my head a few weeks ago in a very crowded parking lot (and it is always crowded. Two cars ahead of me were waiting for someone to pull out of a parallel parking space...and there was space in front of that car that was leaving for another car. I knew I was not going to get either space. The first guy in line was young. The car in front of me was an elderly man. The young guy pulls into the space for two cars and parks right smack in the middle so a second car could not pull in. The older man went peacefully on after that but I was a basket case swearing as I passed that brat. I hope he is self aware enough to call himself a jerk.<br /><br />Phew. Glad to get that off my chest.<br /><br />One of the 30+ books I have from the library is "I See Rude People" by Amy Alkon. First chapter is about people using their cell phones in a rude way. That's as far as I got. Too many books, too little time.<br /><br />sazzyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11889893961539319711noreply@blogger.com
