I am sure you have heard the unwritten rule of life not drinking alcohol before noon, but what other rules of life do we have? Here is my top ten. I am sure some will not even make sense to some of you:
10. Yes. You will always pick the slowest lines at Costco, the slowest moving traffic lanes and the wrong time to do banking.
9. Never eat chicken before 11am. Unless you are having eggs.
8. Never sell a car to family or friends. Period.
7. You are not where you live, what you drive, or what you wear. (But others will judge you by these.)
6. Never give your adversaries the tools of your own demise.
5. A line of credit does not equal savings.
4. Chances are, those unruly kids coming through the restaurant doors are going to be seated next to you. Every time!
3. We all dine at the table of the consequences of our decisions. Choose from the menu wisely.
2. Before you criticize, analyze. Then have at it.
1. If you wait for someone else to take action, expect disappointment.
And yours?
Per your first observation, Why the other line is likely to move faster... an engineering analysis.

ReplyDeleteClassic, Richard ... well said. Happy New Year !!
Let your individuality shine--don't try to fit in!
ReplyDeleteRemember the classic Candid Camera scenario - they stacked the lines at the bank - the line the target is in is stalled, he starts fidgeting, sighing, all the other lanes are clear sailing - he then moves to the other, faster moving line, and it stops - rinse and repeat, until the exasperation finally gets to be too much.... if old episodes are available, find that one, you'll laugh all week.
ReplyDeleteSome days are just like that.
Rose, why is Allison Jackson acting as if she barely knows who you are or what your blog is about?
ReplyDeleteAw, dang it. You went and wrote them down!

ReplyDeleteNever put your purse or wallet or your cell phone on the top of your car, even for "a minute". Never do it! My husband does this and has had some disasters.
ReplyDeleteThe reason you always hit slow traffic when you are late is because you are driving slightly faster than normal and they aren't.
Never tie an animal to a car.
Don't wear sandals to the recycling center or junkyard, or to clean your garage.
Don't try to show your large dog who is boss by sitting on them while they are on their back and holding their paws down. It can come back to bite you. Don't pretend you are eating their food while on your hands and knees.
Don't post/tag pictures of people on Facebook without their permission.
Don't go over the speed limit. You never have to watch for cops again.
