Things that must go...

Back in Utah I used to listen to x96 in the morning on my drive to work or school. One of the little bits that they did was a spot called 'things that must go' it was basically a forum for people to complain about things they dislike. Since I am a bit frazzled right now, I decided to start my own 'things that must go' list, just for the sake of venting about my frustrations. If you don't like complaining you may want to look away now.

Things that must go from today:

Honking of car horns... if you dont accelerate to 40 mph as soon as the light turns green...you get honked at.

When something breaks 1 week after your warranty is up... Chad and I got a point and shoot camera just after we got married, and I am sad to say it is wigging out and not working anymore. I looked up my receipt only to find my one year expired 1 week ago! In hopes that not all was lost I checked costco to see if i purchased it on my AMEX which I did not, so I am pretty much out of luck. Sad day.

Trying to access your storage unit in the dark.... I went to our storage unit to drop off our camping gear, and get an old photo album so I could use them on my new blog. About 2 minutes into looking the lights in the hall of the storage complex get turned off, not pitch black, but black enough that I cant see ANYTHING in my storage unit. I am thinking...Ok give it a minute, maybe they will come back on, or Maybe if I move around and trigger some sort of motion detector they will come back on. I got so desperate that I clapped in hopes that they were controlled by clapper. Much to my annoyance they DID NOT come back on. I thought about packing all my stuff in, then going down and telling them to turn on the lights but realized I would then have to go back up and unpack everything to look for my book. So in the dark, I just put my camp gear on top of stuff near the front hoping that it wont fall or break something.

People who park like idiots... I know I don't live in LA proper, or Hollywood where parking is a TOTAL nightmare. But I do live on a street that consists of total parking imbeciles! It used to be this one truck would take 2 spaces every so often. It has now turned into something of a daily occurrence. SERIOUSLY PEOPLE! You are not the only ones that need to park on the road, just because you want a shady spot, or because you are so worried about your paint job doesn't mean you have the right to park as if the road is your own personal driveway! Now, I know what you thinking, what's the big deal?... just park further way. And I do. HOWEVER, it is really annoying when you have to run across a busy road with your arms full of groceries. And more than that it is just the principle of the matter. I consider myself a considerate parker and I expect that people would do that same. I was toying with the idea of writing them mean notes to tell them that they are parking like idiots, or keying their car (not really). Instead I am just ranting about it on my blog, I apologize for all those who got caught in my cross hairs, but if I can't vent on my blog, where can I vent?

Hopefully you wont see any of my 'things that must go' lists anytime soon, so in the mean time, happy parking!
