On the way to bring my kids to school this morning. On Airline hwy a school bus stops in front of apartment complex. Picks up like 20 kids. The last kid was about 50 yards away from bus walking slowly and looking at his phone towards bus. Stops about 10 yards from bus and finishes his typing his text. Finally after about 4 minutes of waiting decides to get on bus.

Get to carpool. This carpool has a main road and a couple of streets that connect to main carpool road. Everyone allows anyone coming off side road to join main road 99.5% of the time. All except one group of people. They will purposely move up close to the car in front of them to not let anyone in line.

Walmart last night waiting in self checkout line of people. About 5 people waiting in line for the 3 registers. Fat POS lady decides that she sees someone finishing up. Pushes her buggy around and through everyone waiting in line and goes and waits behind the person finishing up.

I feel like I'm at the Michael Douglas point in that movie

Is this about black people or you’ve reached old grumpy white man age?

You can’t dare say anything though or you’ll get in trouble with the mods and called a racist. Ask me how I know.

Politicians and grifters giving them permission to live like animals, entitlements, free money and no consequences have gotten us here.
Most of them don't blend into, or respect the rules of a high functioning society. Something has to give shortly.

No one, including yourself said anything? That's what allows behavior like this to continue. Sure they'll hoot and holler and throw a tantrum like zoo animals, who really gives a shite? As you and the rest of the public knows, it's expected with a certain group at this point.

We don't have to live this way.

Come on, Man. Going with an extraordinarily absurd embellished time of 240 seconds nullifies the entire post. Do you realize how long 4 minutes is?

I thought kids weren’t supposed to have cell phones at school these days? In my area the public schools don’t allow them.

Welcome to what happens when we cater to the lowest quintile of society. They have no type of incentive to improve and everything we have suffers

because you never know what might happen. her boyfriend might walk up and sucker punch you and you crack your skull. she might stab you. her friend might shoot you. even if it's a .01% chance of something like that happening, is it worth risking it for a couple minutes of delay?

it's like provoking a wild animal. chances are very, very high that it will run away. but why risk it?

I am with you on that, but I don't blame anyone for not wanting to get into a confrontation with stupid, low impulse control people.
You see stories like this every day.

It’s not racism; it’s being observant and understanding FBI crime statistics.

Exercise and spending time outdoors are good stress relievers and can help your mood.

If you aren’t getting good sleep that can also impact you.

I also take breaks from time to time from alcohol. That also can help with focus and general improvement in your sleep and mood.

Lots of people out there with similar issues. It’s a grind so try to mix things up and see what works for you.

Good luck.
