Why are people so stupid?

This goes down as one of my biggest pet peeves known to me. Ever.

The setting: The baggage claim at any airport. Anywhere. In the world.

The physics/mechanics/logistics are really simple if even 2% of your brain is working: If everyone stands a few feet back from the carousel (yeah, it's not an effin ride dip shits), then everyone can see when their luggage is coming.

But, most of us apparently feel the need to stand as close to the freakin conveyor belt as stupid-humanely possible without getting sucked under. And then NO ONE can see. Which results in stupid human tricks when people see their bag as it passes them by.

I find it a good guage of who has an iota of intelligence in this world and who I would gladly smack in the face given the opportunity (or if I had no fear of being locked away in an airport holding cell).

Think about it next time you're waiting for your luggage and just take a step back - otherwise I might have to bitch slap you.

Surprise Guest

So, this week's We Weekly had a party planning section, which included such gems as

1. how to position candles
2. how to make mulled wine
3. eat, drink, be merry
4. plastic cups are out
5. what to do if your partner gets drunk

and this exciting tidbit...

The ultimate splurge if you've got the cash is wrangling a celebrity guest. Paris and Nicky are only $300k, Britney a steal at $250k, KFed going cheap for $50k, and Dave Navarro is a mere $25k.

Bet you can't wait to see who's coming for New Year's Eve....
