There are many things wrong with society (in my opinion) that I simply dont think i woudl have time to put all of them down.
First I think everybodyneeds a little background on me. I live in south Florida or Northern Cuba depending on your point of view and nationality. Society down here is most unlike any other place in the USA (never been to canada but would be its differant from there too) There are more non-american here than actual americans. Most people are first generation immigrants or second generation and now citizens. English is normally not spoken As matter of fact you can along a lot better if you only speak Spanish than if you only speak english which I am learning But know that you know i will giv you THE LIST! Most of these stem from driving which is where i spend most of teh work-day.

1. I hate it when people cut you off than wave at you as if to say "thank you for letting me cut off and almost rear-end me."
2. I hate it when there is an accident in the median and everybody has to stop and see causing a 3 hour traffic jam just to watch some guy rub his neck while on the phone with his lawyer.
3. I hate being interrupted. if i am trying to tell you something wait till I finish. I talk, you listen: you talk I listen. This is called a conversation. Common courtesy is gone from the world.
4. i hate it when people miss appointments and do not have the common courtesy to call and explain why or at least tell you they cannot make it. There are instances where this i not possible and those i understand but they are exceptions not the rules. If you say you are going to be somewhere be there and be there on time. thats number 5.
5. Be on Time; actually be early. operate on lombardi time 15 Minutes early or your late. at least call when you will be late.
6. I hate it when fat people super size their meals at BK or McDonalds, then ask for a Diet Coke. Wat message are they trying to convey with that one.
7. I hate it when you put on your turn signal and the person beside you speeds up than matches your speed so you can't move over.
8. I hate stupid questions. Especially when people can answer their own questions.
9. I hate stupid people. common sense is not that common.
10. I hate that people expect me to know spanish but it is discrimination if I expect them to learn english. Again this is America i think. they speak english in Canada why cant we speak it in america.
Anyway that is enough for now. I hope I didn't offend anybody.
