Lol, I went for a walk earlier today, because, well, I'm on with my health kick. Today I decided to go a different route to the one I usually take. This one is considerably longer, and I’m feeling it in the feet especially. However, it’s for a good reason, and so I’m definitely going to try and keep it up.
Anyway, whilst out and about, I realized that some people really don’t have brains. At all.
To the lady in the pink top at the traffic lights - Repeatedly hitting the button for the walk signal will not, I repeat will NOT, cause the lights to change any faster so that you can cross the road a couple of seconds earlier. Give up trying now. It won’t work.
To the three men out for a nice stroll - It is not necessary to walk three abreast on the sidewalk. Other people have to get past from time to time, especially when you are walking so slow you’re almost not walking at all. And while you’re at it, clean your ears out so you can hear people when they say “Excuse me” in an irritated voice. That usually means they’ve just repeated themselves for the third time with no results.
To the teenage boy on the mountain bike - Quit staring at the girls dressed in skimpy clothes. If you’ve never seen a pair of walking breasts before, I suggest you go lock yourself in the bathroom with your Dads secret stash of playboy. That way you’ll be much less likely to cycle into things because you’re too busy drooling to watch where you’re going.
To my Honey - Thanks for calling and keeping me sane LOL.
To everyone here at Mylot - thanks for letting me share my giggles with you LOL.

Now that I'm back on my chair, I can respond, haha! You are an awesome writer! My husband and I are also on a walking kick, and to avoid some of this type of thing, we go to area state parks with walking trails. We've covered a lot of miles. He's lost 10 pounds, and I've lost 7, since the end of April. I wish to go down at least 7 more, so my clothes fit loosely. I have no idea how they ever fit before!

I was afraid, also to step on the scales. Once it moved, though, I got more determined. EVERY pound it moved, I moved more. On the days that I am home, which is VERY rare, I keep FIT TV on in the bedroom. While I keep going in to put away clothes that I just washed, something catches me, and I "work it" a little. Since my post, my number has moved to 9 pounds!!!! Good luck, girl, we all know it's hard! Persistance WILL pay off.

Thanks for responding, and for your kind words lol.
Myself and my partner along with my three kids usually go to Provincial parks at the weekend with lots of hiking trails there too. During the week though, my partner works some long hours, and so I usually get out and walk round the locality while I can. Usually I'm able to avoid this kind of stupidity LOL.
Congratulations on your weight loss. I'm desperate to start seeing results, but of course, it would help for me to get a set of bathroom scales (this weekend actually LOL). I'm just terrified of stepping on them in case they scream and say "Oh my god, you're too heavy, get off me!" LOL.

Hey Rugrat you should know by now lol that this is the world today one thing I do have to say though I see many People (Adults) doing that with the Button
A Child is understandable but an Adult? I have asked myself a lot of times if they had the Brain that they where born with

LOL gabs, you know the funny thing?
Out here in BC, I see the kids press the button once and then wait patiently for the lights to change. Then the adults come along and start hitting the button repeatedly like there's no tomorrow.
Seriously, I wanted to tell the lady today that doing that isn't going to make the slightest little bit of difference LOL.

LOL I've never really understood the point of those little buttons. I've stood through cycles of the lights after pushing them and after not pushing them... There doesn't seem to be any difference between the two situations.
How is it rude for guys to enjoy what girls are showing so freely?
Maybe if you had of said "excuse me" nicely, you would have gotten a better response. Perhaps they were simply responding to your rude tone in kind? Or maybe their elderly ears just don't hear as well as your younger ears think they should?

Frustration: That feeling you get when you realize the effect other people have on your life. ;~D

I see those little buttons as a help in getting across a busy 4 way intersection lol, because without that walk signal, we ain't going nowhere!
I don't think it's rude for guys to enjoy what girls are so freely showing. However, when said guy is on a mountain bike and rides right into something because he's not watching where he's going, then he's a danger to himself and others.
My excuse me to the three men was polite. Nor were they elderly at all. They were just downright ignorant. :P
And yes, frustration IS that feeling you get when others unwittingly do whatever they can to slow your day down LOL.

LOL, kitty. Here I am wondering what had made you hate people when I read the title of this thread.
Indeed, we always encountered a lot of people everyday provided you're out of your house. The thing I really hate about people is the one about teenage boys you're describing. Although mine are usually the older one. I don't dress skimpy nor too sexy clothes. But gee...I don't know why men like to stare at me or even intentionally approach me and whisper some obnoxious words.
This has always been my problem since I was a little bunny. Even I was pregnant with my first child, men will still do something at me. This world is full of crazies, if you ask me.

Oh no, you change your avatar. Now you're not kitty but a lady, LOL! I always have this in my mind to give my best karate kick whenever some jerks tried to do something to me. Of course, I wouldn't dare. Who knows, when I'm 80, I might have the chance to do it.

LOL Bunny!
The world is a scary place for us little ones! I have NO idea what it is with men though, I agree with you there.
I sometimes feel like walking up to some guy ogling me and whispering obnoxious things in his ear and see how HE likes it LOL. I'm pretty certain the reaction would be one of complete shock LOL.

People can be funny.
I usualy see the button pushers in the elevator. Like you don't see the light? Hellow!
The people around here usualy are standing around blocking the sidewalk.
It's funny about boys, when there little, it's not girls that make them run into pols.
My son is 6, and he gets distracted by constructions trucks. Last week while walking to school he was watching them tear down a bulding across the street, and smacked right into a parking meter. He was OK! but had a little bruse on his forhead.
But the thing I hate most about people is the checkout in the market. I plead with you, You know your going to have to take out your wallet when the last item goes by, don't start searching in your over stuffed purse after everythings been baged!
Come on, the cashers are already so slow. At least when I go shopping.

I also hate it when they decide to start writing their check out after everything is bagged also. You can write everything but the amount beforehand...then add the amount later. Quit holding up the line! Made me think of that new credit card quick charge commercial where the lines are moving all around and then everything stops abruptly when someone wants to write a check.

LOL @ your son walking into a parking meter! That HAD to hurt!
I've been behind those people at the checkout and it never fails to amaze me. The women stand there staring into space while their stuff is being scanned and then when the cashiers tell them how much it is, they get this startled look and go "Oh!" then start rummaging through their oversized bags.
Ohhh thats annoying! LOL.

I never amazes me how DUH people can be. The ones that get to me the most are the ones who frget there wallets at home or in the car, or when you are behind someone at a red light and you can see them doing something in there car and they are so busy with it that they dont notice the light turn green untill you honk your horn and then the light turns red again.

We've been stuck behind these people before. A lot of times we've found that either the people in front are on their phones, or they're females checking their makeup in their rearview mirror lol.
It frustrates my partner no end to get stuck behind someone like that LOL. I find it amusing.

It IS tough when it's hot out, I agree.
Yesterday I managed to get sunburnt a little on my shoulders, and not to sound crude but I have lovely pink lines where my top was, so my cleavage is burnt, and I have to wear my top properly aligned so it doesn't look too lopsided LOL.
I make sure I have a bottle of water with me when I walk too. They say that if you drink water while you're exercising or walking, you burn calories at a slightly higher rate than someone who doesn't drink water during exercise. Not only that, it keeps you from being dehydrated and helps you go further for longer.

Lol wendy, it is amusing I agree, but it's also frustrating when you follow them through three sets of lights and they do the exact same thing at every single set LOL.

LOl ratar you made me laugh so hard, i really enjoyed myself, and i want to thank you for posting this.
I also started to take walks in order to lose a bit of my weight, and i tackled into those wonderful people..
They really do have a special way of getting on our nerves. LOl.
I do think that we have to find a special path for people that actually walk.
I know i did have the same experiance of those people that walk so slow that you think they actually will be better off putting a full stop to this. Lol.
And those other's crazy one's. lol. again thank you:)

LOL, RR, thanks for the giggle. I would like to add a couple:
To the lady working the till at the market this mrnig: Drink less and be less hung over and you might be able to give proper change.
To the rodents outside the shop that congregate every morning and every lunch time: You are in the WAY! Move! You are scaring the old ladies!
To the dipstick that feels he needs to lean against my garden gate and ge my dogs barking: One of these days, I am going to leave that door ajar and you will be in for a large surprise indeed!

Good one, The last one made me remember my experience with one bachelor. W had gone for a party and my hubby tried to introduce me to a young leiutinent, a bachelor. Party was in full swing and this officer kept looking right over my head and still tried to maintain a steady flow of polite conversation. It was my first experience like this so I followed his gaze and saw to my amusement two girls in their minies were standing at the icecream table and one of them was deliberatley bent so low that you could see the 'V' of her underpants. This man could not drool over it enough. I excused myself and I am sure he didn't even noticed that I have left him and went to find my own friends still giggling.

giggles is right. You really got me to laugh. I'm sorry i know that it's a little frustrating when you have to deal with this at the time but if you think about it afterwards it is pretty funny. I love the one about the teen age boy that's what really got me laughing. It's so funny. You must have had an intresting walk and i wish that i could have gone with you to laugh it all up at the time. Some people just can't pay attention to what they are doing and have to watch everyone else. Tell me where the three men walking with a cane or just walking that slow that they didn't have a care in the world. I wish you a better walk the next time you take this path and i can't wait to hear what you fine one that journy. Enjoy your day.

Lol, I haven't stopped laughing about it all day today. It was frustrating but I see the funny side of it now LOL.
The three men that were walking were probably only in their late 30's lol. They just didn't have a care in the world, but having to say Excuse me three times, and be a bit louder each time really bugged me LOL.
The teenager was just downright hilarious LOL. Every time I think about him riding his bike straight into that electric box, I break out into fits of laughter LOL.
Hopefully next time will be better. Reporting these walks could become a regular thing LOL. I know that this weekend, we're headed for the suspension bridge LOL.

LOL...you are sooo funny....I've been on those walks...and sometimes it makes you wonder how some people make it out of bed each day when their skill level to simply walk and talk seems limited!!!!LOL..I walk 5-7 miles a day and when I do it outside as opposed to the treadmill I must say I am highly entertained ( or annoyed)...the 3 men walking together is a common one...how do people not know they are consuming the entire sidewalk?..and I've even had to take to the street to get around them!!! Well...don't get your blood pressure up over the "walking hazards"...and enjoy the entertainment!!! Keep up the good work..it's so good for our bodies and our minds!!! And keep us posted..it makes for great chuckles!!!

LOL, I'm glad you got a laugh out of it! I told my partner when he got home all about it, and he just about fell over laughing. He said when he called me up and I was stressed out he couldn't really understand too much of what I was saying LOL.
However, he DID make out me saying "Excuse me" to the three men three times LOL.

Hi rugrat. That is what had become today =) but let me see not being bais we share a little bit of oddness from other people or some had some a "habbit" of doing thing differently.. For us its different but for them its now.. you know what im saying. The people you see that presses the button repeatly so that they can walk to the other side fater surely know light will not change any faster but its a habit for them to press it repeatedly.. what i can suggest is that when you see people doing odd things feel free to talk to them.. like yesterday, i saw a kid whos eating a spag without mixing its sauce to the pasta.. i said why are you not mixing your sauce with your pasta.. the kid told me.. its the way i like to eat it and anyway after i finish it its all in the tommy... hehehe hes right and now i understand. =) try it sometimes... you will laugh at yourself. take care..
