Every time I go to Walmart and browse the aisles, all I ever see is merchandise that is misplaced and not put back where it belongs. :(  It's either because customers are too damn lazy to put stuff back where it belongs and/or the store workers are too lazy to straighten up and organize the aisles.  >:(

I thought I was the only one who was bothered by that.
I mean, dont pick it up if you don't have the money.
And if you find you don't have the money go back and put it back.

I did that last week.  I forgot the wallet at home!
I drove cart back to isles and put items back.  Sure it was embarrassing.  Fursuiting in public also can be.  Just do it!

Drivers who roll into the intersection as I drive through.
"The coyote is a living, breathing allegory of Want. He is always hungry. He is always poor, out of luck, and friendless. The meanest creatures despise him. And even the fleas would dessert him for a velocipide."~Mark Twain

Just saw this happen not more than 30 minutes ago.
About 150-200 ft. down the street from me at a residential intersection, construction crews are tearing up parts of the intersection, digging holes, laying down new water pipe, etc. There's piles of gravel and dirt in the way and construction equipment everywhere.
I'm walking home from the library and what do I see at the intersection? A four door white car that wants to get through.  :o
This guy obviously wasn't going to take NO for an answer from the construction crew.
The construction crew was arguing with this guy and telling him he couldn't get through and was interrupting their work.
But this car driver was persistant. He wasn't budging on moving his car out of the way.
I watched this all happen for about 10 minutes or so. The construction crew even threatened to call the police.
I even heard one of the crew say that this car driver had attempted to get through the intersection at least 4 times yesterday.

It pisses me off to no end how some people treat construction crews and construction zones. Just how dumb are people anyway?  >:(
And in my fascination with watching what was going on, I should have gotten out my cell phone and taken pictures of the guy's car. But the thought never occured to me.  :-[

Kobuk all you can do is laugh at them. I could spend hours typing stories of the off the wall dumb driving I've seen. Next time just get their attention and show them your phone. Yell out "I've getting this on video. Going to share this on line. Your license plate and all." Then drive off.  :D

People fighting with every inch of their lives to hold onto fear mongering and stupidity. An example form the world of art. it has been known now for over 600 years that you can't use a certain type of brush with water. That's right folks. 600+ years. There is a very popular natural hair brush that's been used in oil painting ever sense oil paint was inveted. Guess you can see where this is going. You got it right. It's the vary same brush that has been damaged by water for over 600 years. Now let's introduce the horror. The outraged. The cause of anger and disappointment. Soap. If you have ever used soap before you know it needs water. The same water that, well you know already. Just to let you know there are products you have to use to protect and recondition these brushes if your going to dip them in water. But we will ignore them. Because if we can ignore 600+ years of history it should be easy to ignore those products too. After all, so did they. This isn't just any soap. It's a highly recommended and endorsed product used by thousands of professional artists. Thousands of professional artists who don't use those brushes. If they do use those brushes they don't ignore those products we ignored earlier. These people are outraged. They've been lied to. Tricked. Justice needs to be done. They proudly display all their damaged brushes. All their brushes that have been damaged by water. The same water that has been damaging these brushes for over 600 years. All you can do is laugh.

It's been said that rats can gain access to your home by climbing up threw your toilet. I prefer to use the front door.

I don't know what product you are talking about, but I will take a guess and say this. I clean my brushes with it after painting models with acrylic paints and it works great.

Kobuk. Yep. One of the best products out there. Join the truth! Continue this stampede of mindless Karans and throw that abomination away!!!!  :D

Jade. Most pigments used in oil paints are harmless. Linseed oil is just another name for flaxseed oil and is also eatable. Most of the rest that could be in the tube of paint is inert or harmless. However there are some metal based stabilizers used to keep the paint from separating that can cause harm. Not a good idea to eat it. And yes. i know your joking.  :D
