PEOPLE I LOVE
I decided to counter point the cantankerousness of my last rant by spreading some appreciation to a couple other groups of people.
People With Fastlane / EasyPay - Thank you for keeping traffic moving and having common sense enough to know it’s a necessary item for all drivers. I think it should be mandated by law at this point. And those without it, don’t give me this, “I rarely drive on toll roads” nonsense. I rarely swim, but I still own a bathing suit.
People Who Don’t Spoil Movies - If you stop yourself mid public conversation about a movie because someone nearby hasn’t seen it yet, pat yourself on the back. You make this world a better, safer place to live in.
People Whose Religious Beliefs I Don’t Know (Unless I’ve Asked) - I generally have a ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy regarding religion / faith. So if I don’t know how you worship (if at all) it means you have not gone out of your way to tell me, which I respect. It’s a private matter and those who don’t treat it as such need to learn George Carlin’s addition to the commandments: “Keep thy religion to thyself.”
People Who Ask Before Adjusting Something In Someone Else’s Car - Thank you for recognizing the balance of power in an automobile. Undoubtably the driver will say, “yea, go ahead,” but it’s always appreciated when you ask first. It’s just common courtesy.
