That's hilarious. I prefer to park far away, don't want my vehicles to get scratched or dinged up.

I used to work out early in the morning, there was an old timer who would do treadmill the whole time, then suck down a cigarette as soon as he left.

My pet peeve in the gym used to be people that would walk up to you stark naked while you're changing and start conversations with you, especially complete strangers. Come to think of it that's why I quit going, it started to feel like some of these dudes were kind of "cruising"

Explanations like this typically lead towards admission.
It's okay. We understand.

I understand, too--I was taking into consideration the company I was addressing.

One episode of Dead Like Me for sure, an episode of Raymond at his dad's club, I think--it's been addressed a few times on film. Living as a virtual fly on the wall of you boys' locker room, it's the only reference point I have for such experiences.

While I am in a ranting mood, I might as well go off on people who are so glued to their cell phones, either talking and not paying attention or texting and not paying attention or whatever the heel they are doing. I had a lady and her dog walking right at my dog and I yesterday and she just had no clue we were even there as she was just so busy reading her phone. Brutus and I got off the path so they could go by unencumbered . When she realized her dog was going ape shit for a reason she says oh I]m sorry, good morning. Piss off.

Then there are those that can't get off their phone long enough to use the restroom or exercise. Had a guy at Ohare fucking up the restroom traffic because he couldn't stop looking at his phone. Had a lady at the gym yesterday who spent her whole time on the elliptical chatting with someone. Put down the phone people.....

I want to add to the list people who use the right-turn only or left-turn only lanes to pass the people in the straight lane, just to cut over into the straight lane when they've gotten to the front of the line.

I also want to add whoever decided that a school bus stop needs to be in front of EVERY house. Cripes. There's 5 houses in a row with kids waiting to get on the bus. Can't the school bus stop at the middle house and pick up the kids from all 5 houses?

Oh yeah, this pisses me off. When I was a kid everybody within 8-10 blocks walked to the nearest elementary school or designated bus stop and waited together. Now the bus stops at each individual house to drop the kids off to a welcoming committee of mom, dad, and a couple grandparents welcoming their rugrat back from the front lines of Kindergarten. There's a two minute wait for the kids and parents to clear the street, then the bus drives 30 feet to drop off the next kid. Fucking ridiculous.

Have you met some of these parents that are out there these days? I'm sure within the next 5 years they are going to require that the busdriver gets out and walks each kid to their door.
