Parking Wars

So I'm watching Parking Wars because apparently I don't have enough stress in my life...there is this woman who lives in a housing complex that is parking by permit only.  So this lady flips out because she says she only parked there for 5 minutes.  She goes after the two guys who are trying to tow her car.  Her theory is that she has lived there for 10 years and didn't know she had to have a permit, and then she was only there for a few moments.  She got all in these guys faces but by the time the cops got there she started calming down.

The next guy parked in a handicap spot with the same similar excuse, "I was just there for a moment".  Really people, follow the rules and life is simpler.  I will say this, I have to give the people in this industry kudos, because I sure the hell couldn't do this job, well I could do it but I wouldn't want to.



Now some guy is calling the worker evil because he gave him a ticket.  Well, I can only watch this show for a bit before I start feeling my stress level rise.  Until next time.

Introduction

So here I thought I would post my rants, thoughts and my opinions.  Now I know my opinions may not be your opinions, but these are mine.  Some days may seem dark and perhaps a bit angry and some days light, happy and friendly.  No I am not bipolar but as I age my tolerance for stupidity lessens.  I used to wonder why some older people seem so blunt when asked questions or when making statements....I now know why.  I believe that as we get older we no longer wish to play the silly games that we play to make nice.  For instance, you get the call early in the morning and the person on the other line says, "did I wake you?", a lot of us say (knee jerkily (if that's a word)), no I was up.  I used to be one of those people, now I say, "yes....".  I also learned something else, just because someone calls you on the phone or knocks on your door, you are not obligated to answer.  I think a lot of us feel compelled to do so.  Not me, not anymore.

Welcome to my blog and on the journey throughout my world.  It may not always be pretty, but it's all I got.....put your seat-belt on, this ride could get bumpy.
