During this time, it was amazing to me the number of people who would either answer their phone or be walking in with a full conversation going on. This happend to me probably 5 times on the trip.

I’m not sure that it bothers me as an atendee of the same facility, but I find it incredably difficult to rationalize how this is rude to the other half of the conversation.

Again, more things I don’t understand.

I understand there are times that this behavior can be approprate, as when you are the only car on the road, and pot-holes fill the slow lane. Maybe then.
Otherwise,”keep right except to pass!” and “slower traffic use right lane!”

How hard is that?

While we were parking, a gentleman was driving his car across the empty parking lot. Across.
This isnt too out of the ordinary, as the lot was empty, except for us. As he drove directly toward us, he seemed perturbed that we were parking, and that we were in his way.

Just simply strange that he was in the right…. crossing the parking lot and was upset that we were parking.

I just dont understand.

So this time I was to fill up my tank at my “favorite” station, I noticed that the gas was 6 cents cheaper than it was directly across the street. My choice is clear, buy gas from the cheaper supplier.? Right.

The catch is, people were lined up 7 or eight deep waiting here to get gas. No lines at the competitor.
My truck has a 15 gallon tank, which if completely empty, would make the price difference of about 90 cents if I bought the cheaper gas. But of course I would have to wait in line maybe 15 minutes for this (as everyone else was doing). And because it was near 90 degrees outside, most of them kept their vehicles running for the AC.

In my mind, that 15 min of waiting, and running my truck far under weighed the almost 90 cents that I would be paying for convenience and getting out of the way of the herd.

Im just saying.

So, I was in dire need of a haircut and there I was, walking into my barber’s shop only to see that one family of a father, 2 sons, and mother were waiting in “line”. The only problem was that each of them had one chair between them, and one on each side at the ends, so those 4 people “took” all 9 seats.

I stood for a while.

I was going to checkout of the hotel, so I had two large bags and
pushed the down button for the elevator.

The elevator made a ding and opened the door. A young lady with her
own luggage must have thought that she was on the lobby floor and took
a couple steps toward the door. She realized that I was getting on
the elevator and that she was not on the lobby floor and remained
exactly in the middle of the elevator.

It was quite obvious that I needed a little room to get into the
elevator, yet she remained exactly in the middle.

Now this was no small elevator, but for some reason, she had no
intention to move further into the room to allow me to enter, so we
danced a little as I had to squeeze by her with my luggage, raking the
wall and the buttons.

I was wanting to say something witty, like they don’t make elevators
as big as they use to, but we were at the lobby before I could think
of anything better than that.

No one was in the room at the time, but I was standing directly in front of the coffee maker when I noticed coffee splattering just off the side of the pot and onto the counter. At first glance, it looked just like coffee was dripping from around the basket (where the grounds are) and landing on the edge of the maker and creating a mess.

Having the eyesight of a small single-celled amoeba, I started to move in to see where the leak was…. Just about the time I found that it was actually spilled coffee boiling on the burner under the pot, and only being about 8 inches from the coffee pot, a huge hand goes by my face and grabs the coffee pot and begins to pour the life-nectar into a cup.

I admit I am not as observant and Adrian Monk, but I do know that the guy had to have walked directly into the large room, and directly to the coffee pot without giving me a chance to move out of the way.

so my question is, How important is coffee to you? It was quite obvious that I was looking at something that I found interesting, and I could assume possibly important about said coffee. Just how rude do you have to be to walk directly in front of someone for coffee?

I just don’t understand.

The other half fail to remember their high school physics class material concerning inertia, momentum and the coefficient of friction. I think they assume that the shorter they are driving from point A to point B, the lower their risk of having an accident.

Windows has a solid business platform, but with the security and ergonomic UI that mac offers, much less the value of the software that is bundled with the machines and the cult-like support system that comes with buying a Mac, I thing the tides may collide stronger than Gates may want.
