Most people are inconsiderate a-holes. The shopping cart left in the lot is one of my pet peeves.

When I park next to someone I am careful about not dinging their doors - whether it's an old crappy car or a new one. I respect people's property.

Flatten all her tires with a nail gun and reply, "there's more to life than inflated tires."

I caught the cart before it hit my car, and as I began moving it to its correct place, I proceeded to lecture the guy on taking 30 seconds to walk the cart an additional 20 feet and put it where it belongs so that it doesn't become a hazard. How hard is that!!!!? Had I not been there, the cart would have impacted my car.

I believe the world would run so much better if individuals practiced the simple notion of doing the right thing right.

Ok, thanks for the vent....

Sadly, we should all be in open carry or concealed carry states where we can encourage people to act in a responsible way...

Unfortunately, most people seem oblivious to what is happening, and for some reason could care less about what they are doing.
