"You know what really grinds my gears?"
-Peter Griffin
The writer has a point. People are generally selfish in the pure sense. They wander through life in public totally oblivious to all around them.
For instance:
They stop in the middle of traffic to read a street sign to make sure it's not the one they want...
There's ol' fat mom and her runny-nosed porch monkeys walking abreast aimlessly down the middle of an aisle at the grocery store...
And ol' fat dad in the minivan parked in the firelane of the grocery store for an hour, leering at and fantasizing about the MILFs as they come and go from the store, while 'ol fat mom is shopping with the kids...
Bicycle riders passing cars at a stop light on a narrow road during rush hour creating another back up just like the one you were in just minutes before...
Teenaged wiggers and their mentors riding through neighborhoods with gorilla music thumping pictures off your walls...
Hell, supposedly grown-up wiggers and their mentors riding through neighborhoods with gorilla music thumping pictures off your walls...
Your safety-conscious neighbor with the motion sensored flood light tilted so it lights up the neighborhood at 3am every morning...
The guy that speeds up when lanes merge and waits until the last possible second to get ahead of just one more car before he kicks up gravel while swerving into the single lane only to slam on the breaks because the traffic has stopped ahead of him...
I could go on and on but that might be a little selfish of me to use up all that space. ;-)
