Just a rant on stupidity!

First off, this blog is just what I needed....When I said in my side profile, "to moan and groan" this would be one of those posts. I don't mean to offend anyone, but some days I seriously wonder what people are thinking!

First off, I go to a discount store to purchase eye drops. I've been battling chronic dry eye (only my right eye) and the pain gets so intense at times I could have and have cried! I know this store carries brand name stuff for 1/3 the price of the pharmacy. Anyhoo, I went in today and yes, SCORED....I found a life saving (to me anyways) eye drop, it's actually a gel, thick, lasts and ahhh relief! However, when I go to pay, the lady in front of me has over $200 of crap. EVERY SINGLE ITEM, she disputed the price, saying it was anywhere from 50 cents to a dollar different.....1st rant.....The checker goes to check the prices on a few of the items, calls another checker, yay for me right? Nope, by this time there were 3 people behind me, the new checker calls the lady behind me to her line "I can help you right here"....WTH?? Everyone of them went to the other line...5 people later I finally paid and left, only to see the disputing $200 discount store shopper loading everything into a brand new, no plates yet Mercedes.....Pissed? Just a bit...No, not because she was in a brand new Mercedes, but because she wasted my time! lol

Then, from the discount store, I head over to pick up my youngest daughter and nephew from school. They get into the "mom van", buckle up, we take off.  I was coming up to the corner I needed to turn left on, signal, start slowing down and in my rear-view mirror, I see this little white pickup truck hauling buns....I seriously thought he was going to plow right into the back of me. Mind you, this is a residential neighborhood....So, the guy doesn't plow into me, but jets around me (illegal!)....Kids all over the place walking home from school. In fact, the reason I didn't turn was because there was a kid crossing the street to my side, as well as a car coming from the opposite direction. That dummy could have hit a kid, he didn't know if I was stopping for the oncoming car or what. I mean, what if a kid had been crossing in front of me? It just made me so upset. As he passes, I realize it is a city worker....ooh, made me even more upset. I took note of the vehicle number, the time and the streets....Yep, call me a tattle tale, but what if it was one of your kids walking home ya know? This situation could have turned bad real quick.

So, this is my daily rant (s), nothing to get to upset over, but hey, we all have those days.....
