In my short 30 years of life, I've discovered some novel ideas, and thought I'd share them with you. Some of you will get offended, and that's fine. You are more than welcome to be offended. Some of you will laugh, and that's great. I'm glad I could make you laugh. Some of you won't care. That's fine, too. You don't have to care. It's your right. (Hey, the first Novel Idea: respecting other's opinions!!)
1. If you can't walk in 6 inch stilettos, Novel Idea: DON'T WEAR THEM TO TOWN! (Wear them in the bedroom all you want, but please, DON'T WEAR THEM TO TOWN! Some of us have better things to do than wait 5 minutes for you to totter across the street, hanging on your SO, who frankly looked annoyed with you.)
2. If you can't handle the high horse power sports car, Novel Idea: DON'T BUY THE HIGH HORSE POWER SPORTS CAR!! I'd rather not be subject to your panic attacks every time you have to drive when a red light turns green, especially when I have my children in the car and your panic attacks take up BOTH LANES, and I'm right next to you!!
3. If you can't drive, Novel Idea: DON'T DRIVE!!! When the speed limit sign says 55, it MEANS 55, not 35, with permission to flip off every person that passes you!!
4. If you're going to cross the street, Novel Idea: CROSS THE STREET!! Don't stop in the middle of the street to answer your phone and have a conversation, then cuss at people when they honk at you to make you move your butt!
5. If you don't like children, Novel Idea: DON'T HAVE KIDS!! Or at least, stay away from them once they've grown up and moved on. I really don't like having to listen to you run not only your children down, but your grandchildren as well! Since when are 10 baskets and 15 assists in one game NOT ENOUGH for a 10 year old in their first ever basketball game?
6. If you're going to buy a shirt, Novel Idea: MAKE SURE IT'S THE COLOR YOU WANT!! The people behind you in line really don't want to have to wait while you run back not once, not twice, but THREE times because you decided you didn't like the color!!
7. If you're going to have full sleeve tattoos, facial tattoos, tattoos on your chest, and an extremely high number of facial/cranial/visible body piercings, Novel Idea: YOU WILL GET STARED AT BY SMALL CHILDREN. Another Novel Idea: REMEMBER IT'S A SMALL CHILD AND DON'T YELL AND CUSS AT THEM!! It's unnecessary, and small children are fascinated by differences! You are different! YOU WILL ATTRACT ATTENTION!! (Personally, I don't care what you do to your body, but you don't have to be cruel to children who are simply curious.)
8. If you don't want others listening to your private cell phone conversations, Novel Idea: DON'T STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STORE, TALKING AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS!
9. If a cop/ambulance/fire truck comes up behind you, lights flashing, Novel Idea: GET OUT OF THE WAY!! It's actually the law that you give way to an emergency/government vehicle with it's lights flashing.
10. Now my last, and probably most important Novel Idea: NEVER LET THE NEGATIVE OPINIONS OF OTHERS ABOUT YOU HAVE AN IMPACT ON YOUR LIFE. Your opinion of yourself, and the opinions of those who truly love YOU, not your image, are the only ones that matter. Weed out the bad seeds, and kick them to the curb. If you have negative opinions about yourself, CHANGE THEM. Love yourself, and others will follow suit. No matter who you are, YOU ARE PERFECT, AND WORTH EVERY EFFORT IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!

You # 3 makes no sense. It in fact shows that you don't have a clear idea how to drive (or at the least the rules of the road). While I drive the speed limit, it's because it's the maximum set limit to drive on that road. Not the minimum. So while it may be annoying to some of us, it's far more correct to drive 35 then the over half of us who decide to do 70 in a 45 mile an hour zone.
However, the rest of your rants were greatly appreciated!
Great job, I love the list!
I'm all for #3 ... absolutely! if you can't handle the recommended speed limit, then find another route! Getting stuck behind some moron on a 2 lane highway who wants to drive 30 in a 55 zone is absolutely unacceptable! Rude, inconsiderate, insipid, and unacceptable! If you can't drive, DON'T DRIVE! Absolutely! Bravo!
Great post. Seems like common sense to me....but I guess there are some people out there without any.
#7 - I hope it wasn't your child who got yelled at by a tattooed stranger. I can't believe they would yell at a kid who was looking. If they had a problem with someone looking at their tats, they shouldn't have gotten them...duh.
#8 - My husband, who has hearing loss in one ear, talks loudly on his cell phone (wherever we are) and I always have to tell him to quiet down. It's quite annoying. I also have to remind him not to talk on the phone at the checkout line, or at the drive-up windows etc....trust me ladies, I'm trying to teach him some cell phone etiquette. LOL

Actually, you can get a ticket for going too slowly, it is just as dangerous as speeding. Unless the conditions are bad (fog, rain etc) you are supposed to drive WITHIN 10-15 mph of the limit.
I run into people going too slowly all the time and it is hazardous and irritating- cuz at least half of them refuse to use the pullouts. Imagine going around a corner at 50 mph and running right into the backside of a scaredy cat going 25...
LOVE THE POST!!!!!
mtnmama- No I agree that there are cases where going to slow is a road hazard, however driving slower then the speed limit by 10 miles an hour...whats the problem really? They aren't exibitng bad driving in the least.
While I drive at the speedlimit...I hardely blame someone for being extra cautious when traffic accidents cause over 40,000 deaths a year.
BTW....I'm not sure what corners are like where you live but I think going 50 around a corner might be a little hazardous in itself.
Ethans_mommao6 -- The OP said 35 in a 55, that's 20 MPH UNDER the limit, you can get ticketed for that.
Your #3 OP i love. 'cause I get that all the time on my back country roads, and what gets me, is those people think that everyone goes 35 on those roads. WRONG BUDDY, 99% of the people go the speed lmit, 55. and yes, pulling out in front of said person going 55 and you only accelerated to 25 or 35 is a HAZARD and could get your trunk shoved into your back. especially if you pull out and don't give ample enough time to even accelerate to your desired speed.
Jordanplustwo-
She also said- 'When the speed limit sign says 55, it MEANS 55'. Going lower then the posted limit doesn't mean you don't know how to drive! However (as I previously agreed) there are limits, and yes some slow driving is certainly hazardous.
My goodness I really have been having the fun of hearing peoples problems lately every time i go to the store, talking on their cell phone so loud I hear them from a couple isles away. One time this young girl was talking about all the people that was throwing up at the party last night. My DD and I just stopped and looked at her. She went "What?" we just laughed and I said "you want the whole store to know your business! don't be surprised when someone looks at you!" Geesh Kids......
But yea I work in a store you be surprized at the stuff people loudly say when on the cell phone..... medical things I really don't want to know, people dieing (it couldn't wait 5 more minutes?), that you thinking your man is messing around, Sorry honey I am working late (oh and who is that woman beside you??) and my favorite, talking in the ladies room... NOW that should have waiting 5 minutes!!
