Yea, Georgia's got that too, I'm going to have to start submitting my cars to the emission tests. I pride myself on keeping my old cars running, I hope they don't force me to get a new one!

You mistakenly believe that these people actually have that in their consciousness. Lots of people don't even think twice about what they put in their mouths, or the trash they put into the world. How many people do you see carrying around those damned plastic water bottles?

She seems to be at the ATM for a good 10 minutes while I'm waiting patiently next in line.

I'm like *this* tempted to jump in the SUV and drive it around the parking lot just to teach her a lesson.
But, before I do, she finishes, and then I'm able to step up to use the ATM. While I'm going through the menus, I notice her get in the SUV and proceed to go through her money and papers. The car is still parked and running.
I finish, and while I go to my car, I see this same girl exit her car and go back to the ATM. Again, her car is still parked and running! She was still at the ATM when I pulled out of the parking lot.
Does anyone know where I can purchase one of those toy guns that shoots suction cup darts with message flags on them? I would like to get a bunch that say "Idiot!" on the flags so I can use it to target all the Nimrods I come across on a daily basis.
It's remarkable that she wasn't parked in a handicap space as well.

No, but if you can come up with a drawing I know a guy who knows a guy who can make plastic injection-mold parts and we can order a few thousand and go into business.
