Left Lane Drivers

Did you know that by speeding while driving you really only shave off a handful of seconds to minutes on an average trip?  So why get mad at the left lane drivers.  Really they are saving you from a potential hundred dollar ticket (Most states it's more I believe).  I wouldn't call my self a slow driver, but I do enjoy programming my cruise control to the speed limit and just leaving it there.  BUT, weather I end up in the car pool lane or the far left lane ( on accident I tell you) OT seems like someone is always trying to tailgate me.  What's a matter with going the speed limit?

It's so interesting that we have so many drivers that think the speed limit is the lowest speed they should go.  Why can't we understand in an age of so much wasted time with TV's, smart phones, FACEBOOK, and so much more, saving an extra 2 minutes won't get us 100 more friends on Facebook.  But maybe it will allow us to watch that local professionally done auto ad more more time (I'd rather barf, no offense to those auto dealer ad creators, I love those ads).

All I'm getting at is in a world of "get there now and smash the car pool clogger," is it all worth it to drive like Jeff Gordan and arrive to the Thanksgiving Dinner a whole 6 minutes and 45 seconds ahead of your In-laws.  Something to think about this wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.  Be safe out there.

Limited Edition

How many times do you see everyday products we use being sold as "Limited Edition?"  Honestly, who cares?  Just cause my dish soap is "now" limited edition doesn't mean I'll buy more or save the container. I mean come on give me a break, who gives a rats behind if it's limited or not?  We buy it because of the service it provides, or what it does for us, not because this once in a lifetime container that looks like a snowman.  Let's be real.

Stall waiters

So while going to the bathroom recently at work I couldn't help but notice a guy( a guy right how weird to see in a men's bathroom??) just waiting 2 feet outside one of the closed stalls. 

 I mean, so he looked like a janitorial type guy, so he needed to refill the TP or something, but I don't think the person inside the stall is appreciating that he was so close. Is it going to make the stall mate go any faster?? I'm not sure, but it seems weird to me. I guess some people like bathroom smells and will hang out in there as long as it takes.
