credit and idiot drivers

I heard two ads on the radio while driving in to work this morning for companies that can help you reduce your credit card debt. Both of them liked to say "Do you have excessive credit card debt? It's not your fault, and we can help get those nasty creditors off your back."

While I can't help but agree that creditors can be nasty, I have to wholeheartedly disagree with the notion that someone who chooses to use thier credit card to rack up debts beyond which they can be financially responsible is hardly free of fault. BE RESPONSIBILE FOR YOURSELF! There's plenty of shit out there that I'd like to buy, but every day I gotta say 'no' to myself because I can't afford it! It's like the guys who's "under water" on his house payments, but who refuses to sell his lifted truck or his speed boat because he has to have them. Make up your mind! What's more important? Can you live in your boat?

Idiot drivers; it's not my fault that you left late today. Either I'm becoming a grumpy old man (which is entirely possible), or people are driving crappier and more idiotic than ever. I suppose this is like entropy (it will always get worse), but son-of-a-B, it just seems like people don't know where they are, where they're going, or have any clue about MOMENTUM, turn signals, or any of the other cars around them (except maybe the one RIGHT in front of them, the one which they are tailgating ... yes, that's me, and I'd get out of your way if it weren't for the SEMI THAT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME (obviously you can't see that far), making me go slower that YOU'D like to go).


So I am taking to driving 65 or slower (can such a thing be done?) in the right-hand lane. I don't seem to have to deal with the idiots any more, in fact most of the time I get a pretty good show watching how people fight amongst themselves, jockey for position, and nearly kill each other trying to shave a few seconds off their commute. The only drawback to the slow lane is now I've got to deal with the fools who can't merge.


I think I've said something like it before, but when I start complaining about everything around me, maybe the problem is me.


Nah.

Otherwise, when all else fails, Skittles.
