Apparently I'm in an unusually observant and inquisitive mood today. Throughout the morning I have noticed a few very small, yet annoying, actions that I am wondering...why?? Why do people do these things? Not that I'm highly annoyed or anything...just baffled!
For example..
....why do people slam on their brakes and try to put their seat belt on when they see a police car on the side of the road with another car pulled over?? Do they think that the cop is going to notice them speeding and just hop back into the car and drive off and forget the driver they are currently dealing with?
....why do people get in the elevator, look at the floor buttons, see that their floor is already pressed and illuminated, but still step in front of you to push it again anyway? Do they think that will make it go faster? Do they think it won't go if they don't put their own special touch on it?
....why do people see ambulance lights flashing on the opposite side of the freeway going the opposite direction but once again slam on their brakes and try to go the right? Do they think the ambulance is going to suddenly hop the median at 80 mph and u-turn into their lane? Do they not realize that slowing down on the opposite side of the freeway does nothing to assist that ambulance in reaching its destination?
Just wondering, folks. Juussst wondering. ;-)

People entering a busy intersection when they know they can't make it all the way through. Then the light changes on them and there they are blocking the intersection for everybody. i.e. Commerce Way and Prince St.
ReplyDeletePeople blocking traffic and waiting 5 minutes for somebody to load their car at Walmart so they can get their close parking spot. Meanwhile I go on and find another parking spot and walk right by them still waiting on that wonderful spot. Lazy I guess....
Common sense is rare now days in case you haven't noticed.
