You know what I hate?

[teigyr]

I'm not a patient person. I am a California driver (pardon the Californians who drive politely). I hate the ever-so-polite PNW people who go into the fast lane and then go below the speed limit. I've no problem with going slowly just stay in the appropriate lane.

Of course I also hate people who recline airline seats for short distances. I'm 5'11". I can sit upright for 2 hours. C'mon person in front of me who has to recline then lean FORWARD to read/eat/do whatever. Silly person, are you telling me you have to recline the seat in your car for 2-3 hour distances? And don't get me started with people who feel they have to eat on planes...once again can you GO 2 hours without eating?

Yeah, the airline industry gets to me sometimes

oh and lastly, people who stand on moving walkways or escalators. I make them move to the side...I don't know if it's just the West Coast or what but civilized places force people to move to the side if they choose to stand. The people here spread themselves all over and position themselves so you can't get by.

Ok, I'm done. For now.

My husband is 6'7", so reclining airplane seats are a problem for him, too. If his knees aren't jammed up there already, he simply puts his knee into the back of the seat to keep it from coming back at all. Usually they think the seat is broken.

But he got a lesson in being tall last week, when he got to ride on the same plane with the Arkansas Razorbacks basketball team. It's not often he gets to look up to anyone. He was a little chagrined that the short coaches all took the exit rows--but hey, those players were only 20ish! They can squeeze better than he can.
