It's All About How I Hate People: The Rant

I was driving to work today looking at the people in the cars around me.
What is wrong with the world today? What is wrong with people?
I watched a man in a truck open his door at a red light, stick his head out of the door and spit on the ground.
I can promise you something. I have NEVER felt the need to open my car door and spit on the road.
I started thinking about how often I see grown men spit. I've seen them spit on the sidewalk, spit in parking lots, I had a neighbor who spit on the stairs.
Guys, I have a question: Why must you spit?
I do not go around spitting and neither do any of the females I know. I've never felt compelled to leave a glob of my saliva (or whatever it is) anywhere.

Since I'm ranting about people.....Why are there so many unkempt people in the world.
I'm not talking about poverty level or homeless people, I'm talking about normal people who go out into public with filthy clothes, smelling of body odor, cigarette smoke or food deep fried in lard.
I see people with dirty, greasy hair, people wearing freshly stained t-shirts and mud-encrusted shoes.
I don't have a lot of money and I don't buy expensive shoes but I can guarantee you that when I leave my house, they are clean....as are my clothes.
Do people just not give a shit? Have they lost every ounce of respect for themselves and the people around them?

I was about to bitch about stupid people but most people can't help being stupid. Most of the time they don't even know they're stupid. I don't like it that they have the IQ of a groundhog but there's not a whole lot they can do about it.

People with really bad grammar get on my nerves. I'm not talking about texting or IM speak. I'm talking about having a conversation with people who can't remember anything they learned in elementary school.
Hell, read a book or listen to people on TV. Do you speak like they do? Maybe you're doing something wrong.
When it comes to writing, little things get on my nerves.
Aside from typos, a lot of people don't know that it's "a lot" and not "alot".
There is a difference between "then" and "than". "Then" demonstrates a progression of time. "Than" shows how items are compared.
"Saw" and "Seen" can't be used interchangeably. "Seen" needs a helping verb. "Saw" does not.
And do NOT get me started on "There", "Their" and "They're". Not to mention "You're" and "Your"...oh and "Two", "To" and "Too".
Oh my....I better stop this now. I'm starting to hyperventilate.

God. No wonder I'm single.

Gay guys don't spit, they swallow. You need to be specific.

If more people swallowed instead of spit, I'd be a happy girl.

Did you grow a peen?

How YOU doin? :x

Wow, I think we're perfect for each other. I'm pretty much everything you hate. Except for the being clean in public part. Christ, I shave my balls even when I'm staying home. My face? Not so much.

And if you're such a grammar Nazi, how can you possibly tolerate my blog?

Sure, you'll hate me, but the fourteen months of uninterupted oral sex that perform of you will go a long way in mitigating that hatred.

You're such a romantic. How could I not love you?

Posted by: De at August 9, 2007 06:26 PM

That's a good question, my pretty. A very good question!

At least until you see me naked..

I was just ranting the other day about people that spit. I honestly think people should be taken out and beat for that (Singapore style -- holla!!!). What a disgusting habit. Spitting loogies on the parking lot pavement just waiting for some poor unsuspecting person to walk in it. I was just at the county fair last weekend (to check out the adorable 4H bunnies of course!!!) and there was a woman there walking around that was just filthy. Filthy shorts, filthy hair just pure filth. Not homeless, just a dirty bird. Sick.

Basically I hate people too. They make me really irate and if I had a choice I'd become an agoraphobic so I could just stay in my nice little cocoon of freshly washed non-spitters.

Ang...I swear I think you and I were separated at birth!

Anybody seen my razor?

I love your place here. Thanks for dropping by mine! (I first found you by way of skippy, just don't tell anyone.)

In my little town, if the guys are spitting, it's because of the chewing tabacco. And none of them play baseball, either. They simply are addicted to the crap. They can't go for a 90 minute ghost tour without chewing and spitting into a styrofoam cup. Barrrgghhhfff!

Sorry for the split infinitive there.
:o)

I enjoy your blog Joan. Welcome to Blogging Hell!

I thought you typed "Spit infinitive" LOL

I agree with you almost 100%, but you're batshit crazy if you think I'm going to start swallowing my loogies.

Posted by: shank at August 13, 2007 09:39 AM

Shank...why do you have so many loogies? I don't have them.
