Firstly, thanks to Peter Griffin for the inspiring use of a famous line he uttered...please don't sue me!
More importantly: I've got to unload here a slight (if there's such a thing from me) rant...
Crosswalking. Crosswalkers. Webster's Dictionary ought to define crosswalking as "the inability to walk in a single given direction, within a straight line, subsequently causing those who are indeed capable of walking a straight line, behind you, to be prematurely cut-off and in oft cases, a scuffing of footwear or an outright stumble occurs". A Crosswalker is then, by default, and individual so annoying as to commit the aforementioned action.
I hate these people. Someone did that to me today - it really "grinds my gears". Why, lord, why, can't these people just walk straight - I could understand if they were so preoccupied with reading a book/magazine etc. or realizing that they've missed their desired turning point or destination - so they cut you off, but...to randomly be walking a seemingly straight pattern/direction and to just veer off into your way...for fuck's sake!!
Now, I know one might attempt to rationalize this a simple loss of balance or equilibrium - but nay I say. It is not. For the fact remains that these people are still walking in a forwardly fashion, with nary a stumble or misstep at all.
I think there should be a new rule - slap 'em upside the head, or better yet, trip them. If these idiots can't even walk straight, do we really want them around society's other dangers - driving motor vehicles? conducting trains? flying airplanes? doing our taxes? teaching our children how to earn their "Turtle" badges? I mean, this can't be allowed to happen!
Now maybe I'm a little over-sensitive here, but I seriously can't stand when people do that. Let's get our shit together here, people! Walk the line (thanks Johnny) or watch out!
Done.
