Pet Peeve #26: Dumb people who think they are smart.

People are people no matter of their status, income, location and etc. We all come from the same stuff. However, there is something about a dumb person who thinks they are smart that allows me to believe they come from another place. Dumb in this case is not lack of knowledge or doing stupid things. These types of dumb people are dumb because they think they are smart. I don’t ever get it. They say and do the craziest things, and when you do not get it, you are now the dumb person. For some reason, they have the nerve to look down on other people as if they are stupid. Really though? You just created some foolishness, and now I am slow because it makes no sense? WHATEVER! Smart people never use their knowledge to look down on others. If they do, they are not smart. Dumb people who think they are smart, STOP IT! UGH!

Pet Peeves #21: People who cause delays at public transportation turnstiles.

When I am getting ready for work in the morning, I am on the move. There is no time for foolishness or slow people with slow actions. I know what time I should be out of the shower, time I am done getting dressed and eating my breakfast along with the time I should get in my car. Everything is perfectly timed, and a one minute delay can throw off the whole morning. Needless to say, when it is time for me to get on the El (subway) time is of the essence, and there is no time for games. HOWEVER, I do not understand when I usually approach the turnstile to deposit my token the person in front of me causes a delay. This mainly happens once the El (subway) has pulled up and I know I have to run up the stairs. I am thinking, “WTDuck! You are going to make me miss the El”. I want people to have the token in their hand before they reach the turnstile. Who has time to stand behind a person who needs to find their token? I think the worst is when people just stop to have a conversation with someone else. I have to be at work, and I need someone to respect my time and GET OUT OF MY WAY! The more I think about this there needs to be a new law allowing passengers to throw people who cause delays at the turnstiles and one drop kick if the El (subway) just pulled up. STOP IT! Ugh!
