The Edmonton Journal has an online section called Venting. I was just reading some of people's gripes and laughed at how often I could associate with them. Here's a few favourites:
You chose to fluff your hair in the mirror at the precise moment the light turned green. That held up seven drivers behind you. I had every right to toot my horn to snap you back to reality. Flipping me the bird was not called for.
I should see your signal light before your brake light.
Using permanently closed schools to provide beds for the homeless should work. After all, they put my kids to sleep.
The sign with the line going through the baseball cap is a super idea. Let's do it.
I don't need an alarm clock to wake me at 6:30 every morning. I rely on the neighbourhood gravel truck roaring down my alley.
Call me a prude, but I don't think pregnant women look good in a bikini.
Had Conrad Black been accused of abusing children instead of committing fraud and obstructing justice, he would be facing house arrest instead of 15 years in prison.
Now we have diesel pickups that are even louder than the motorcycles? What's up with that?
I hope the young woman who had to stop at the traffic light and was banging on the steering wheel and screaming took a pill or something to calm down.
When you call our tourist attraction looking for information, please don't chew your breakfast in my ear.
Safety be damned. The person who invented the backup beeper should be doomed to listen to it for all eternity.
In order to enjoy the rights and privileges of a pedestrian at a crosswalk, you must first get off your bike and become one.
As a senior, I'd like to see the yellow light come on before the red light turns green. That would warn me to be ready for rapid acceleration, so as not to offend the young bucks behind me.
I braked hard in traffic. You ran into the back of my car. If you'd been paying attention to traffic instead of talking on your cellphone, you could have saved us both a lot of hassle.
Seeing people talk on their cellphones while driving doesn't seem so scary after you've seen people text messaging while driving.
Unless you are in Afghanistan wearing combat gear, stop whining about the heat.
I was going to vent about the motorcycles doing 150 kilometres an hour on the Whitemud. But then I sat down to read Venting, and I laughed so hard that now I can't complain about anything. |
