late September back in '63...

OK, I thought of more things that annoy me.

1. Women who bring their boyfriends/husbands with them to Victoria's Secret. Here I am, elbows deep in a barrel of bras, and there is some 15-year-old bleached tipped, Abercrombie wearing kid, or better yet, a balding, middle-aged man, each looking both uncomfortable and elated while his girlfriend/wife picks out thongs. I feel like my personal space is being violated. This is when I leave the store.
2. People who do not accelerate while getting onto the highway. Aren't they called acceleration ramps, or did I just make this up? Go faster.
3. People who slow down while exiting highways. I know it says go 40 mph on the exit ramp, but I take that as merely a suggestion. Then they wonder why they can't get over. Go faster.

Can you tell that I went shopping today and had to deal with traffic? The only upside to Abilene is that you are generally never stuck in traffic. You might me stuck behind someone driving slow, but you're never really in a traffic jam. I really need to learn how to harness my chi while driving.

Back to A- Town tomorrow. I probably should start my homework for my short course sometime...

Some things to add:
1. People who ask you to babysit and then have the nerve to leave you a list of chores ... as if watching their three young children for a day isn't enough work for what you're getting paid.
2. Boxes of hair dye that don't at all accuratetly show the resulting color.
3. Cavities.
