You're mean. I'm telling.

I've written about my growing road rage, and at the risk of sounding like a hypocrite, I cannot for the life of me figure out why so many people are so angry all the time. The other day, I was driving and was going to turn left, I yeilded to a lady coming from the opposite direction so we didn't, y'know, crash and die. She turned too. I turned after her and was directly behind her car. Not like, tailgating mind you. Just behind her. Standard 2 car lengths and what-not. I don't ride bumpers because I don't want to smoosh my car. Anyway, she decelerated until she almost stopped for absolutely no reason, so I passed her. She then promptly screamed at me out her car window and made obscene gestures. Why? Who the hell knows?! People are just... angry. Visit your local library sometime if you really want to see anger over nothing. Such as those who bitch and complain over how slow the FREE computers are or how their FREE book isn't currently on the shelf. You ever wait tables? You ever had someone make you cry and think you're worthless over some cold mashed potatoes? I have! It's ridiculous. If you wanted perfect potatoes that aren't instant (because you're at a freaking Perkins and there's no real potatoes in sight) you probably should cook them your own lazy self at home. Then when you try to microwave them, it's like the microwave degrades the food somehow (as if Perkins food isn't horrific enough) and they get all pissy. What do you want the waitress to do? Heat them with her laser eyes?

What I'm trying to say is, calm down people. We don't need to be so angry at each other. We don't need to insult someone's humanity because your big mac is taking 4 seconds longer than your last trip to McDonalds. People get so angry over nothing. Nothing. I have a theory. These people with anger issues have nothing worth caring about. Nothing truly meaningful to be angry about... like whole countries starving and people dying. No, they don't care about things like that. All they care about is themselves and getting their stupid blockbuster rental that damn well better be on the shelf. So... stop being angry, stop being selfish and stop making your local librarians want to hang themselves over your missing book.
