AND IT WASN'T EVEN MY FAULT.
I was driving home from college a few hours ago, when I entered a 4-way intersection near my home. The light was green. I kept driving.
The next picture describes what happened next:
This brain-dead moron sees me barreling down the street, sees that he has a "do not walk" hand, sees the fact that I have a green light, and sees the fact that he is a walking piece of meat and I am encased in a metal cage that will smash him to smithereens if he decides to come between this car's inertia and its destination.He decides to walk.
I swear to God, I'm driving down the street, and I don't see him until I'm passing him, with a foot or so of clearance. I could have slipped on the steering wheel just by a bit and I would have ended his pathetic life.
And oh, of course, then I WOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE WHO IS SUED AND LABELED MURDERER because this IDIOT doesn't understand how to follow directions.
God, I hate it when people just go on a red light like that. It should be punished by law the same way running a red light would be.
By the way, the guy didn't even flinch. He kept walking like it was all planned. Scared me halfway to death and back. What an inconsiderate jackass.
Oh, I also hate it when people think Anarchy is the way things should be (or at least "no government", whatever you'd want to call that), and don't see this kind of crap happening on a daily basis in an Anarchistic state. RULES AND LAWS ARE THERE FOR A REASON, FOR YOUR OWN PROTECTION. THEY AREN'T THERE TO KEEP YOU IMPRISONED OR TAKE YOUR FREEDOMS AWAY, YOU PATHETIC IDIOTS.

Before we go on to our next segment, I need you to watch this youtube video.
Back? Alright, good.
THIS COMMERCIAL IS SO FULL OF CRAP IT'S COMING OUT OF ITS EARS.

The makers of this commercial really need to have some personal experience with a cash register. It's extremely obvious they haven't bought anything themselves in a while, since their butlers/maids probably go out and do it for them. And if the actors realize this horrid mistake of theirs, they aren't ones to say anything, or they'll risk losing their spot in the commercial, and missing out on a paycheck.
The makers of this ridiculous commercial need to go bankrupt. They need to understand at least ONE way of life under "I'm so rich, I use $100's for toilet paper and credit cards for disposable toothpicks."
You know what I say?
I say, let them pay cash!

P.S. I know there is a separate version of this commercial where it compares Card to Written Check. I don't know how long it takes to process a check, since I have absolutely never received one. However, it is probably true that Check takes longer than Card. I am only ranting on the video where it compares Cash to Card, and says that Card is faster.
And that is absolutely and in all ways LUDICROUS.
