One of those days …


…when you’re confident that 99% of this country is populated by utter idiots.

Everyone on the road was driving like idiots, either too slow or way too fast, swerving in and out of lanes, driving into ditches, and naturally, all of this happening either in front of or behind me, endangering my effing life without a care…

And then the privileged children with their parents’ credit cards ignoring the fact that there are about 10 people in line waiting to order their sandwiches, charging right to the front of the line and spending five minutes ordering, texting, giggling, and bitching about how they got the hand-me-down BMW instead of a new one, while everyone yells at them for being rude and they just laugh harder…

Oh, and then the enormous truck complete with truck nutz and a cattle-catcher parked in a “compact only” spot, thus jutting out so far in the parking lot that nobody can get by, requiring everyone to go like half a mile around the building just to get out of the parking lot…

You honestly have to wonder how its possible for so many people to have absolutely no perception of how their behavior affects anyone else.

It’s at times like this I’m grateful for the calming powers of music.
