my feet hurt from standing on them for 8 hours today. i wish people would learn how to read.
see, we have an illiteracy problem in this country. the people who find it mentally impossible to see letters, symbols on a page, and translate them into words are one thing. that's not always their fault, although it is a deplorable condition and really says something about society. but the bigger problem is people who can read and choose not to.
i don't even mean picking up trashy magazines and looking at the pictures instead of reading a book. i mean simple things like seeing a self-serve credit card reader at the supermarket and not bothering to follow the instructions, thereby frustrating your cashier and holding up the line because you're too dumb to look where you're supposed to look and read. if you honestly don't understand what it's saying, ask me a question. but if you just didn't bother....please get out of my line, and my gene pool.
or people who don't read street signs and are then surprised when their lane goes away. forget voting; we need literacy tests to get your driver's license.
in case you hadn't noticed, one of my biggest pet peeves is ignorant people. expect more of this, on various other more specific topics.
