Yeah, I'm still alive. It's
Yeah, I'm still alive. It's just been a while since anything got me P.O.ed enough to chime in. So here goes. I ran up to the local grocery store tonight to grab a few things. When I got there the fire alarm was buzzing and folks were standing outside waiting for the F.D. to come give the all-clear. No big deal; they showed right up and said it was O.K., even though the alarm was still ringing. I can take a little loud braying abrasive noise - hey, I still listen to Twisted Sister sometimes - so I ran in and started shopping. And noticed some people in the store were staggering around with hands to their ears. I mean really - if it bothers you so much, why not wait a minute for the noise to stop? And to compound the idiocy, a woman came in holding a small dog. Leaving aside the whole pets-in-grocery-stores angle, don't dogs have supersonic hearing? I kept waiting for the dog to go Cujo on the woman and tear her apart. Waiting and hoping. I swear, if I hadn't been hungry and in need of English muffins, I would have knocked the lady over and liberated the pooch myself.
In other supermarket-frenzy news, a local woman snapped last week when someone in front of her flouted the 12-items-or-less rule. Now, I don't usually advocate violence, but really. 12 items or less means 12 items or less. A line has been drawn in the sand; a little plastic bar has been placed across the conveyor belt. No, we ain't gonna take it anymore.
