When I was growing up, news articles in the New York Times, except for those from the wire services, had a byline and a date line indicating the city of origin and the date. Now, it is very difficult to find a date on anything. (JRW excepted.) I find this very frustrating particularly when I find out the article is years old.

I remember flying with my parents in the 60s and everyone dressed up! Lets's see. Yes, driving is a big one--tailgating, turning left in front of me when I have the right of way to go straight. Lingering when the light turns green. Luckily, my driving is perfect. I don't mind baseball caps, but yes, not inside. I don't worry so much about the world because I trust God. Worrying never helps. People who cut their dinner rolls -- they should be gently torn. You don't use the butter knife to spread butter- you use it to put the butter on the plane. People who block grocery store aisles while talking. I guess I do have a lot!

Pet peeves: driving and talking on the phone. Do one or the other, but not both. One of our younger new neighbors sat in her car, in front of the open gate (we share a drive with 3 houses) to the street for several minutes. I assume she was on her phone. I was trying to back out to the street to get to an appointment. I swear those neighbors are the most clueless people who have ever lived in our little conclave. No common sense at all. Another gripe. Our neighborhood is very walkable and lots of people walk their dogs. Not all clean up after their dogs. And then there are some who pick up the poop and then leave the bag sitting there on the ground for someone else to pick up. What the hell?<br />I don't know why but turn signals seem to have become optional years ago. And why do slower drivers sit in the fast lane/passing lane? And I'm with you, Celia. I am not going to provide feedback on my doctor visits to them, Facebook, Yelp, or anyone else. And don't waste a stamp mailing me a survey to fill out either. After years in a job with too much paperwork I am not taking on more unnecessary makework. Or taking phone surveys. Or answering the phone when Unavailable or Anonymous calls. I think all medical offices should show their names in caller ID. And yet many of them don't. It makes me wonder if the staff use their personal phones to call patients and they block their ID. I could go on all day but I don't think it would be healthy. I'll just end with groups of shoppers who wander the parking lot, abreast, so cars can't get past them.Pat Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732230586783432052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-75968253741259918032019-08-26T12:16:41.608-04:002019-08-26T12:16:41.608-04:00I don't mind ball caps, but for heavens sake, ...I don't mind ball caps, but for heavens sake, TAKE THEM OFF INDOORS!Pat Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732230586783432052noreply@blogger.com
