Random Things

For my first post I want to tell everyone about two things that really struck me as absurd today. So for those of you that don’t know I work at Best Buy off of Cedar Bluff. Today on my way to work I pulled out onto Philip Fulmer Way I drove a bit and came up onto the parking garage that is on the right. As a driver pulled out of the garage in front of the car that was driving about 100 feet in front of me. The car honked its horn, and the dumbass that was driving the jeep that pulled out looked at the lady in the car like she was an idiot and he had done nothing wrong. It all seemed as though it lasted forever and I couldn’t help but notice the Buckle Up sign posted on the exit of the garage that he had just pulled out from. Then as I glanced back over to him, he grabs his seat belt and buckled up. I found it very ironic that we do absolutely nothing to protect ourselves unless something bad happens that reminds us that we need to do so. Even then we only stick with it long enough until it is old news. The last thing I have to note on that is how crazy it is that everyone feels that they are the best driver and that they are doing nothing wrong. It’s just something to think about.
Next thing is this guy that stands on the Cedar Bluff exit holding a sign that changes from time to time but usually says, “Looking for work” or “Will work for food.” He sits on a trash bag full of clothes and it there about 80% of the time. Well it took me some time to get through the light, and it amazes me how many people actually give this guy money in the time that I waited to get through, I know at least 4 people gave him money. Even if they only gave him a dollar each, I only was at the light for about 7 minutes so he made 4 dollars in 7 minutes. If I made that much in that amount of time that would mean that I would make 34.28 an hour. That is a hell of a lot more than I make and god forbid he has to get up and walk to a person’s car 34 times an hour. It is hard for me to get this straight in my head, if this is fair or if he really deserves it of what. I would like to hear everyone’s reply on this.
