I live the pain EVERY DAY here in Tucson with all of these retirees! Be it on the road driving or the sidewalk. Just because THEY have no place in particular to go or be at a certain time, I DO!!!! I think there should be laws as to what hours these people are allowed to be out and about i.e Only from 9 am until 4 pm while the rest of us are at work!!!!

I think people who do it KNOW they are thumbing their nose (or worse) at convention. Perhaps it's their petty way of sticking it to 'the man.'<BR/><BR/>2) People who barge into the el before letting people exit. Same holds true for elevators. Just stand to the side please.<BR/><BR/>3) Walking from the el to and from the office everyday - I go against the suburban mom pants/golf shirt crowd in black or brown tennies that they think can pass for dress shoes. Please...but the 'walking rant' is this: <BR/>They take up the WHOLE DAMN sidewalk, thinking that it is one-way and closed to oncoming traffic. Well, I muscle up and march in a straight line against them - not caring who I run into/over on the way. I've had quite a few full body-checks as a result. I never look back - even when they try to complain. I have a RIGHT to my little 24 inch wide path of sidewalk and no suburban loser will take that away from me!<BR/><BR/>Phew. I feel better now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26412800.post-1154919593450002702006-08-06T21:59:00.000-05:002006-08-06T21:59:00.000-05:00I LOVE this post.
