Curt-sy

Seriously!

What’s wrong with people these days?

For all their parents rant about being well bred, none of them have the basic etiquette that makes a human being.

No one returns phone calls or picks them or answers to messages. What’s more they refuse to tell you what they are thinking about you to your face. Sure they’d probably offend us but wouldn’t you rather be offended than fooled?

And when it comes to manners, don’t even get me started on road manners. Cultural capital of the world indeed!

If I ever find that no good rascal/ette who invented the wheel, I’m going to kick him/her in the crotch!

Had they any sense of what havoc the wheel would have caused, I’m sure they would have burnt the blueprints.

But that’s not to say that I’m a perfect gentleman on the roads. Far from it. But I do have the courtesy to wait for a person to reverse his car instead of squeezing my car inches away from his fender and so on and forth.

In fact, more than the car drivers, who are certified louts! I hate the bikers. These turds like to squeeze in the any possible space that they can see. Almost if they are physically trying to disprove the laws of mathematics, physics and assorted sciences. I mean really, if they could see the butt crack of a guy in front of them, they’d try to squeeze in there too. Much to the delight of the pedestrians I’m sure.

Which brings me to the pedestrians. I mean seriously. You don’t even need to go to class X to know how to cross the street. And just in case you didn’t know how to, it’s not by holding your hand up to the incoming traffic and then strolling across.

With the number of numbnuts in the city increasing every day, I think a permit to be a pedestrian is in order.

I would go on and complain but my wrist is aching. I’m not too much of a long body copy guy!
