Thinning the herd.

...or how to raise the country's collective IQ, simply by getting rid of a few very specific individuals.

Section 1) The elevator speeder-uppers

These are the people that need to go down, but think they can get the elevator there faster by pressing both buttons. Then, when the elevator going up opens in front of them, they

a) stare at the people inside until the doors close again
b) get on, pretend they're going up, and when everyone's off, press 1.
c) get on, wait 'til it starts going up, press 1 and say "oh well, I'll take a ride"

Coming soon, the "I need to get on the train before you get off" lady. And yes, I'm cranky this morning. Wanna make something of it?

If we're thinning the herd, I nominate women who wait in line at cash registers to buy something, wait until the cashier rings up the total, and only THEN look for their purse as if they're surprised they have to pay, and proceed to rootle through it for EXACT CHANGE, penny by penny. God, that annoys me.

In the same vein, how about woman who decide they have to replace their ATM card inside their purse, then count their money, get it going in the same direction, place it in their purse, read the reciept to check the balance, record the transaction in their checkbook, stash everything away back in their purse, AND THEN check the mirror to see if anyone is waiting for the ATM! Like they can't do that by pulling up 20' to let someone else use the machine.

Here's one that infuriates me: people that stand in line at a fast food joint like McD's and wait until they make it to the front of the line to even look at the menu board. After perusing the board for several minutes, they finally come up with their order --- a freaking Big Mac!!!!! Last I checked, those have been on the menu since the beginning of time. Stuff like that just makes me want to kill someone......
