Things that frustrate us all

[Commander Troi]

I have little sympathy for people who hold grudges.

I used to hold some. Now I realize that life is too damn short.

There are people in this world who do not love their fellow man and I hate those people.
Tom Lehrer

LOVE Lehrer!

Double standards also suck.

Like, jumping down one person's throat for something they said like 20 years ago, but if it had been anyone else, letting it go.

I certain member of a certain US family is selling shirts making fun of Halyna Hutchins' death, this just disgusts me beyond words.

Double standards and hypocrisy are cited as a large reason why there's a decline in younger generations of people going to church and believing in organized religion.

Are you kidding?!?!

Just showcasing their strong Christian values.

At the pool today there was a guy in front of me in line. First he agreed to share a lane with somebody else. Then when another guy left and he got his own lane, he refused to let me share it with him.

Ten minutes later, he was sharing it with somebody else. WTF?!

Either he was meeting another person he knew at the pool and was saving the lane for him, or he's a giant fucking asshole.

Watched a driver cross three lanes all at once at the last second to take the off ramp. Is this something that happens everywhere or am I in the hot spot here?

Depends where you live. If you happen to be anywhere in Florida, this move is merely called a Tuesday. In fact, it's a close cousin to the ever-occurring "Wait till the very last second of your on-ramp ending to cut straight in front of someone doing 75 or 80 in the travel lane".

Even more frustrating to me is the impatient tailgater who then finally goes around you, cuts back in front, only to then make a right turn a quarter mile down the road forcing you to have to come to almost a complete stop. Guess that saved him 1/10th of second and is always worthy of a middle finger.

Yep, seen it quite a few times

Everyday here in Phoenix AZ!

Ditto here in the Aloha State - especially when the Tour-ons (Touristy Morons) are in town…

Cheers,

To be fair, with all the car chases that Magnum gets in, traffic must be really weird there.

Are you kidding?!?!

Nope, a couple days ago my mom showed me a news story with a picture of Done Trump Jr. selling a shirt that say "GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, ALEC BALDWIN DOES".

Everyday here in Phoenix AZ!

Yeah, as someone else who lives in the area, I can testify that the majority of drivers out here just make up their own rules as they go.

Years ago, when I was working in Chicago, I determined the lane markers on Michigan Ave were suggestions.

The cool part was driving on lower Wacker Dr.

Why do they call them Interstate hi-ways in Hawaii? /

I was watching the documentary about how we talk about and teach the Civil War on MSNBC last night, and it got me thinking that I really just don't understand how people can be so prejudiced. It honestly confuses me why people it matters to other people what race someone is, who they love, or what gender they identify as.

I watched it last Sunday, also recorded it, and it was excellent.

Has anyone noticed that I am unabashed Lincoln and American Civil War nerd?

Lots of states have interstate highways that never cross the borders into any other state. The name simply indicates that the construction and care for the road is federally funded rather than a state or local road.

On some sites I've found that people get really emotional in discussions of historical topics, instead of being able to discuss the topic with more academic objectivity. That's frustrating to me.
