Well, Yorkie, it's a little late for that, hence the annoyance.  Obviously I didn't think this through. :P

Autocorrect usually fixes iPhone and iPad for me, but sometimes it makes me says things I didn't Nintendo.

People that don't proceed when the light turns green.

Why are the most timid, slow reflexed, overly polite, excessively cautious fuckers, first at the light all the time?
They wait for 10 seconds or so after the light turns green "just in case" or let every dickhead in opposing traffic
through, waving like they're so benevolent. Then as the light turns red they nose out and are on their way
to fuck up more traffic, without a care.

With every single person staring into their phones every spare moment they have, I've learned I pretty much have to just automatically honk when the light turns green to get people going

How about these tailgaters who think getting 3 inches behind me is going to get me to go faster.  I either take my foot off the gas and slow down to eventually nothing (although its never gotten to that, they either back off or angrily go around), or show 'em the brake lights.  They act as if their the aggrieved party in this little drama.  Fuckers.

This is why I loved my Jetta with the sunroof. So easy to show them part of my manicure.

There should be a special place in hell for people who pass on the right on side streets, use turning lanes to bypass normal traffic and who drive on the wrong side of the road to bypass traffic and go to the head of the line. If only a 400 foot drop were at the end of that line.

Yep.  Stupid people with smart phones.  Oops, the light just turned green.  Sorry, MV, I'll be back to your incredible sight as soon as I hit the next light. ;)

Not a good sign, but once you go black, you'll never go back.

People who leave threatening notes on my windshield, cursing me up one side and down the other for parking in a handicapped space...when I have clearly parked in a regular parking spot that is right next to the handicapped one.  Believe me, this has happened more than once.

Why so called 'social media' should be the reserve of those who actually know what they're talking about. 60000 people want the parents held to account; oh dear. This of course will bring back the gorilla. And of course, they're all fucking experts on something they'd never heard of up until a few days ago.

The keepers made the call on something they did know about. Sadly the ape was killed, the boy was saved. The parents made a mistake, the child lost grip or they lost it on him. Guess what? Parents do things like that, children squirm around. I'm guessing 99.9% of the petitioners don't have kids and have no idea about gorillas and their behaviour and frankly shouldn't breed with that amount of idiocy.

Full weight fucking wankers.

When you click on a live news feed of an active shooter situation and they make you watch a 30 second ad.

The fool on the motorcycle yesterday afternoon whose bike was parallel to the road as he whipped in and out of traffic at 80 or better. Personally, I don't care if he took himself out but I don't want his carcass coming through my or anyone else's windshield.

The shooting is incidental; it's tomorrows chip (fries) wrappings.

99% of the people who have already bred, should not have. Animals being killed because of human stupidity. I'm so proud to be a human right now. I think the apes may actually be smarter than us.

Zoos annoy me. I hate to see animals living a half life in an enclosure although I do at the same time understand that zoos keep endangered animals in the gene pool. What I think is that there has to be a major redesign of the current habitats that try to give the visitor as natural experience as possible while also allowing the animal more range. Obviously there is a design flaw when a child can crawl into an enclosure. I don't know what the mother was doing, or what led up to the child falling in and I'm not judging her because all the facts aren't in, but I've also seen my share of parents texting, talking on their mobile phones or just not paying attention to their kids and this is what zoos realistically need to prepare for.

When my son was small and his school went on field trips, I went and never took my eyes off  him, although I was more worried about being separated and a whacko grabbing him, than him falling into an enclosure. As a teacher, I hate going to  the zoo because even with help I will have at least 5 or 6 kids to watch, usually the very active or disruptive ones, and watch them I do, even to insisting on holding the hands of the merry wanderers. It's tough; even the most vigilant can be separated in seconds if a crowd is large and jostling enough, and I've seen it happen. But the truth is, if this happened on a school trip, the teacher in charge would be dismissed that day and probably sued by the parents, no  matter how vigilant she was. Different accountability.

I'm deeply saddened this beautiful animal had to be destroyed, but I've seen the video of  him tossing the child around like a rag doll. It's a miracle the boy escaped without his neck being broken. The zoo had to do what they had to do, but all these places, for the protection of their animals and the general public, need to take a good hard look at their enclosures and plug up any loopholes. And if there have to be more barricades and higher, so be it if it prevents another horror like this.

I'm kind of of two minds about this. In the history of science zoos have been pretty important so I wouldn't want to abolish them. Rather, I'd like to see them transformed more into wildlife preserves monitored and maintained by professional zoologists into which visitors can witness animals in their natural environment rather than gawking at them in a cage.

You just described San Diego Wild Animal Park.  Which also has a frozen zoo.

The San Diego Zoo also has some beautiful natural exhibits because  It's all happening at the zoo. (No gorillas were harmed in the making of this post)
