Huckleberries Online

From Red State to Pet Peeves

After your great article about things that offend you ("We Red Staters can get offended, too" here), I have a couple to add:

1. Inconsiderate lazy people who leave shopping carts in parking places rather that take a minute to push them to the cart corrals provided.

2. Those who walk their dogs and leave the droppings (which the dig cannot help) on the trail or walking area rather than carrying a plastic bag from the grocery to easily pick it up for deposit in the garbage.

What happened to common courtesy?

DFO: Anyone else ready to add to the Red State rant?
