Some people amaze me...

It amazes me how dense some people are. I am also amazed by the sheer number of people who are plain ignorant. Let's take this week for example...

Dummy #1: After coming home from work, I put my dog on her leash and took her outside for a walk. I'm standing on the sidewalk letting the dog do her thing when some unleased, ugly rat-like creature comes scurrying over to my dog. I realize that this rat-like thing is supposed to be a chihuahua but it looks more like a sewer rat with black mangy fur and beady little eyes. The rat starts growling and barking at my dog who barks and growls right back. A bark-off ensues and I have to shorten the leash on my dog to keep her from trying to eat the rat. She's a Jack Russell terrier. She would've ripped that rat to shreds. So the owner finally appears, grabs the rat and takes it inside. But not before asking me what breed my dog is. When I tell him, he says "Oh, no wonder she's so crazy." WTF? My dog was minding her own business when your rat came over and instigated a fight. If you kept that thing on a leash like normal dog owners do, then we wouldn't have this problem!

Dummy #2: My mom and I took an afternoon and went to the beach. It was Spring Break so the place was crawling with people. After driving around for five minutes, we found a parking spot. My mom started to pull the car into the spot slowly. There was a young boy standing behind a car next to the spot we were pulling into. Being extremely cautious, she slowly eased the car into the spot. She stopped several times because the boy wasn't moving out of the way. Before we even pulled into the spot, a raging beast of a woman stomps in front of the car. She motions to the boy and says "Do you not see him?!" (Obviously, this beast is the boy's mother). Are you serious. No, actually my mother is blind and I let her drive. Of course we saw him! Why do you think we were inching into the parking spot? If someone was actually watching him in this busy parking lot, then we wouldn't have this problem!

Dummy #3: I'm driving on I-75 around 7pm on a Friday night. Everyone and their grandmother is on the road on Friday night. Needless to say, the highway is fairly congested. There is a spot where the traffic breaks up. I am stuck behind a guy doing 70mph (ok the speed limit is 70mph but who goes exactly the speed limit?) in the passing lane. I hit the accelerator, move into the right lane and go around him, leaving him in the dust. Apparently, the 50 feet of space I left between my car and his was too close for comfort. He flashes his lights at me and then leaves his high beams on. Wow, get a life. No, take your meds, then get a life. If you were in the appropriate lane (can you read the signs that say "Slower traffic keep right?") then we wouldn't have this problem!

Dummy #4: I have never actually seen this person but they are pretty dumb and I'll tell you why. I live in an apartment complex. There are always cars coming in and out. I'm driving in and these two little black girls (they can't be more than 3 and 5) run in front of my car. Thank God I'm going slow because I have to slam on my brakes. A few weeks earlier, my friends and I were going out for breakfast. We were driving out and the two little girls were standing off to the side of the road. My friend who was driving, immediately slowed down when she saw the girls. We kept going and just as we passed by the girls, they ran out towards our car! My friend slammed on the brakes and the girls started laughing. All I have to say is where the f*ck is their mother? Or the person who is supposed to be watching them? They better not try and toss blame around if those girls get hit by a car! If you didn't let your little girls (who don't know any better) run around on the road unsupervised, then we wouldn't have this problem!

So you see my amazement? And this is all in just a week...
