It bothers me when people write "thx," instead of "thanks." What, are you appreciative of something someone did, but not thankful enough to type/write three extra letters? Come on people - "thx" is not a word (but "thanks" is)! Hell, it doesn't even have a vowel (not even that bastard vowel - y). Are we as a people so lazy that we can not even give a full effort to thank someone? How grateful can we actually be? It's not like those extra three key strokes will kill us, but they may let the person who we are thxing that we actually appreciate their efforts, enough to type a full six letters.
Lazy bastards.
Why is it that Y is sometimes a vowel? Is it really the illegitimate child of a vowel and a consonant? Is it a hybrid, or a halfbreed? Does it's dual status make it better than the other letters because of it's versatility, or does it not fit in with either crowd due to it's failure to be 100% committed to either group. I think if we, as a people, can help answer the "Y"-questions, we can better improve race relations.

Workaholics...
Allow me to channel Jerry Seinfeld for a moment: "What's the deal with all these people working so much?"
I don't get people who work 60-80 hours per week. I understand that "The job needs to get done," and "People are counting on me," but really, is it worth it? There are very few jobs in this world where stopping at 5:00 until the next morning at 8:00 will result in people's death. I think a well-paced 8-9 hours should be sufficient for anyone to competently get through their day.
Some people like to say that their job is too important to let it wait for them to come in the next morning. What about their families? Aren't they important too? How about that person themselves - isn't their health and happiness worth something as well? Take a look around - if you could get a bad case of diarrhea and it would be OK to spend 30 minutes in the bathroom, you can leave and let work wait while you remember why you work.
This post obviously doesn't apply to the young, single uppity people who need to buy $300 sunglasses and $1,200 purses. They need to work more to afford those things that they can't show off because they are too busy working. It's a vicious cycle.

First Posting...and Elderly Drivers
Welcome to the Angry Jew Daily! Despite the name, this is a site with no religious affiliation. My goal is simply to have a forum where I can sound off on what bugs me in society, and see if anyone reads it. Occasionally, I will also discuss sports, 80's & 90's sitcoms, and news articles.
Grandma - I love you, but give me the car keys.
For the first post, I will look into a group of people that have bugged me for years...elderly drivers. This is by no means meant as a slam on all elderly people, just an accurate depiction of what I have seen in the world today. Old people are usually the cause of most slow-downs in traffic (that and people on cell phones), and I don't get it. What are they doing outside during the day? Isn't Matlock on? Don't they have African-American chauffeurs like in Driving Miss Daisy? I am all about people living life to the fullest, except when those people delay me living my life to the fullest. Perhaps we can find a way to co-exist in society - I will avoid driving near their eating establishments around 4:30 when they go an eat dinner, and they will do all their driving between the hours of 9:00 am and 11:00 am, or 1:00 pm and 5:00 pm. I know this seems like a hassle, but it should save me from hours of getting stuck behind them.
Also, what is going on with the people I see driving everywhere talking on cell phones? Do you really have that much going on in your life where you don't have any time to communicate with your friends, except for that time when you are directing a 2-ton missile near me? Is it too hard to even use a hands-free set so you could have at least full control of your missile/car...even if it's a distracted full control? I would worry more about the backlash from this post if it wasn't for their short attention spans, coupled with this item being at the end of the post.
