Time to vent...some people really tick me off!!

I have 2 big pet peeves when out in public....they are: People talking on their cell phones when driving (it's illegal here), and people who do not control their dogs! You wouldn't believe the amount of people who disregard the law and here and still talk on their cell phones when driving. They don't even try to hide it either. We were at a light today, it turned green and the car in front of me just sat there while talking on their cell phone. I wish the cops would pull them over!!

Earlier today, Sweet-Pea and I went to the local pet store - one of those big chain stores where you can bring your pet. We used to bring our other dog to the store, but realized it probably wasn't such a good idea with all the other dogs running around...it's like a kennel...you never know what your pampered pooch might pick up.

Anyhow...we were at the cash register buying something for Cody when this lady, her 2 kids and their hyper dog got in line behind me. I was paying the cashier when her dog just pushed it's way right in front of me and knocked my purse over. I couldn't believe it...the lady said NOTHING! I was so ticked off. I do love dogs and for the most part other people's dogs do not bother me, but I have personal space that I do NOT want invaded by a dog because of their owner's neglect. She was foolish - if her dog bit me she'd have had to deal with a law suit! It wasn't a small dog either...he was BIG. Sweet-Pea was totally freaked out by it. She moved away which meant she wasn't standing right beside me...something that we have as a family rule for safety. I understood why she walked away - she was scared - but she too could have gotten hurt as a result. People just get me so upset sometimes. They are selfish and treat other people as if they are less important. It's a 'me' world out there and that really stinks!! Fortunately I was in a good mood and I said nothing to that lady...goodness knows how I'd have reacted if I wasn't, or if it happened to Sweet-Pea and not me! Phew!!

So...if you're out and about and want to talk on your cell phone in the car, or want to let your dog jump on strangers without their consent, please think twice...you probably won't be liked very much by those around you! Thanks for letting me vent...
