Two types of people that irk me

Ok, I'm going to start off light.  I know I said, "Stand by for some astute political observation."  However, I'm trying to keep my blood pressure down (even though I have an AWESOMELY low BP), so I'm going to talk about two kinds of people who really get under my skin.

First, smokers:  Have you ever met a smoker who admits to throwing a cigarette butt on the ground?  Me neither, but somehow thousands of butts end up at street corners everywhere or on the side of the road, on the sidewalk, or even in my front yard.  I guess it must be that magical "Butt Fairy"!  And that sounds even worse when you say it out loud.

Second, motorcycle drivers: I'm sick of bikers saying that it's the people in cars that are at fault when a motorist hits a biker.  I see plenty of bikers on my way to and from work everyday and sure, most of them are driving within a reasonable level of sanity, I mean safety.  But, I still see plenty who are darting in and out of traffic while doing 90+ mph.  I see plenty who ride the "white line' between cars when it's unsafe (and illegal) to do so.  Heck, I almost hit one today because he couldn't wait to make a left turn and so he darted across in front of me!  So, bikers get off your high (octane) horses and admit that most of you ride like jackasses!

Now, I know that there are those smokers and bikers out there who don't do any of the stuff I'm ranting about.  So, I charge you with snatching your compadres up by the ears and tell them to knock it off, because they're giving you all a bad name.

Next time I promise it will be political.  So, stand by Obama!
