Manners

[peapod1980]

What happend to manners in our society?

I have a bad-manners pet peeve that also involves the grocery store--why do people fail to simply say, "Excuse me," when they walk in front of you as you're looking for something on a shelf? Every time I have to walk in front of someone in the grocery store aisle, I always say it. Just seems so rude not to, and so many people don't do it.

I fully expect people to walk in front of me when I am looking at the shelves, and while I understand the urge for some to say "excuse me", I never thought it the least bit necessary. Neither do I expect an "excuse me" from someone when they sneeze within earshot.

I believe you would need a hazardous waste permit and approved biohazard carrier to ship excrement. No doubt a federal offense if sent through the regular mail, or left in a mailbox.

Whatever you do, do not hide a dead fish in a person's house or automobile.

One well placed shrimp can be brutal!

Obviously we didn't have the same Grannie! ;-)

And just how do you approach the very rude woman in the Seacrest Beach area that walks her two very large black guard dogs that just left 4 bowling ball sized piles in my newly sodded yard? OMG...what does she feed them? I can't believe I have to go clean up that sh(*&t after her - I need a wheel barrow for it! Argghh.

Post a big sign on your front lawn that reads:

"No Dog Pooping Area--Rude Lady with the Two Very Large Black Guard Dogs: This Means You Too!"

(Add an appropriate graphic to illustrate.)

Next time, just point to your ears and act deaf. You can use your special finger to point if you wish.

Yes, that day I saw SJ in Publix, I was already on a rant - I had to drive down 393 behind people in a golf cart (didn't think you were supposed to do that), not one but TWO guys were riding down 30-a in my traffic lane, making the cars behind him wait till the other lane was empty to pass him - when I suggested to the last one he use the bike path - (since the bike path specifically states I cannot have a motorized vehicle on it - so I don't drive down bike paths in my car) - but he showed me his I-Q with his "special finger".

Maybe I can get one of those super shooter water guns and cool him of the next time I see him riding in MY lane!!!

This gentleman had NO manners!!! But, he has a special finger!!!!

Pretty kitty seagrover. Is this your kitty? Wish I could relax like that. They have nerve riding down the lane of traffic on a golf cart. Someone should have reached out and grabbed his hand and broke that special finger. I don't figure I have to be nice if they are not!

before spraying with a super soaker, be sure to make up a special solution. i would dissolve 2 cups of sugar in 2 cups of hot water - makes a nice sticky treat that bugs love once it is on your clothing. or better yet, get some skunk scent at a sporting goods store, dilute it down a bit and give 'em a spray. just a few helpful ideas.
