During the course of my life there are a number of things I have noticed while out and about that I think will improve all of our lives and society in general. Here are a few thoughts:
o You, and we, would be better off if you would save your change each month and take it to a store with a change counting machine rather than standing at the checkout counter at any store and digging around in your purse, wallet, pockets or whatever for a few coins so you can pay with exact change. You’re extending the time that the rest of us have to wait in line and watch you struggle while you try to produce the coins that you thought you had. And many times you didn’t have the coins. It seems this happens whenever I am in a hurry.
o If you are prone to be distracted easily, and you may not realize this about yourself, but you may want to go grocery shopping either very early in the morning, before 8:00AM or very late in the day, after 10:00PM. Otherwise you will stand in the middle of the aisles looking at the shelves and trying to find something or decide what brand or size to buy or you may be talking to someone and those of us who are trying to get our shopping done quickly are forced to stand and wait or go back the way we came and go down another aisle and it take longer than we planned.
o When driving in an area where you aren’t too familiar with the exits on the Interstate or expressway it would probably be better to not panic when you realize that you are at your exit and traffic is flowing at about 70mph and you have to cross two or three or four lanes of fast moving traffic to try to get to that exit. Worse yet is trying to stop and force everyone behind you to transfer almost all of the rubber on their tires to the road surface. It would be better to start to get over to the right lane when traffic allows and drive on to next exit. Get off at that exit and go under or over the highway and head back in the direction from which you came so you can get off at the correct exit. A simpler solution is to get a GPS unit.
o If you drive a hybrid or electric car, like a Prius, you would help all of us out by staying out of any lanes on the highway other than the very far right lane. Hybrids or electric cars are like the train we learned about as a kid that keeps thinking I think I can…, I know I can. It just doesn’t seem to happen so everyone is slowed down.
These are just suggestions that may help us all as we strive to make it through life. Granted there may be one or two things I have to work on so I’ll try to figure out what they could possibly be and then try to get some resolution on these.
