]You know, I’m a pretty laid-back person normally. I take the middle path, try to see other’s point of view in an argument but when is enough, enough? I swear to God some people are fucking insane, and they are the ones who usually have the power. (not always- see, middle of the road.)
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o> </o>
I have examples in varying degrees of insanity, from That’s not fair to WTF??<o></o>
First- we had an in ground pool put in this summer and are still working on the details. Now we live out in the country- we are 50 feet off the road with acres and acres of woods on all sides of us. The Pool is behind out house, directly behind the pool is our upper horse pasture and behind that woods which end up in state game land. Our pool is surrounded by the horse fence and 16 acres of property but to be in code we need to have a self closing, self latching gate- ON OUR HORSE PASTURE FENCE! It borders our pool so there ya go- we also need to have the same type of gate on our deck and alarms on our back door—yeah there is a greater chance a deer will fall in our pool than a kid- you know the one that has to trek through 200 acres of state game land and then another 15 acres of woods, then through the back electrified horse fence, the front electrified horse fence just to drown in our pool- uh huh- that’s gonna happen.
<o> </o>
Okay- rant number two- they lowered the speed limit on the road in front of my house to 15 MPH- understand the houses around here are at least a mile apart and none of them are even visible from the road. I ask you why???
<o> </o>
Now this last one is more disbelief than rant- I was at the mall today doing some holiday shopping when I decided to stop in and have lunch at a fast food place in the food court- I pull out my sony-reader and am happily reading and eating when I hear;
“Help! My mother is choking!”
I get up and go over to said choking mother and do the Heimlich and pop out the obstruction – and Mom starts breathing again- Okay, now I am not expecting these people to bow down to me and worship at my feet or anything, but a thank you? A nod of appreciation?
Nope. They sit back down and finish their lunch without a word to me. Does anyone say anything to me? Umm-NO.
*sigh*
What is wrong with people?
<o> </o>
Very long rant over and if you’re still with me- bless you!
