Why?

why, why, WHY…..

…when you get on the road, does every moron in the land get in front of you?

…when people see you backing out of a parking spot and must be able to grasp that if you’re creeping out from behind some honkin’ huge opaque SUV you can’t possibly see them coming, do they drive right behind you?

…do they do the same damnfool thing when they’re on foot?

…after the first idiot almost gets walloped in this maneuver, does the next idiot coming up behind him do the same goddamn thing?

…on the day you decide to get a flu shot, does every Walgreen’s in the city run out?

…do people pay Safeway $4.33 a pound for apples that are available, in the same variety, a half-mile down the road at Sprouts, for $1.99 a pound?

…do people pay Safeway $1.99 a pound for old yaller onions that can be had, less than three minutes down the road at Sprouts, for 58 cents a pound?

…are customers who shop in Safeway so fuckin’ rude? (Oh…I know: because they’re getting ripped off every which way from Sunday!)

…if Safeway can get small, ripe avocadoes, can’t Sprouts get them?

…when your patience is short and your temper is frayed, do two HUMONGOUS flatbeds loaded with heavy equipment elect to occupy the only two lanes on the road, side by side?

…does a radio station that has a decent format and plays cowboy music pleasing enough  to provide an occasional break from the nonstop NPR yak-a-thon decide to change that format and schlock it up?

…do the onions frying on the stove decide they’re cooked when you have exactly half your hot rollers pinned to your head?

…does algae grow on the bottom of your Brita pitcher?

…do the greyhound rescue people have to trot out their dogs at a suburban pet store halfway to freakin’ Tucson, and do it during the accursed, mega-gawdawful rush hour?

…would anyone deliberately choose to live in Tempe, Arizona?

…on earth did I ever imagine a full-grown coursing hound would be a good match for a short, squat herding dog that looks a lot like a rabbit?
