Common Sense

I know I always rant on this subject, but I just can't stand stupid people. I don't think I've ever seen as many as I have in the past few days. Most of it was on the road, which is quite common, but I saw did see some off of it. I was at Fossil Rim yesterday (for those of you who do not know what it is: it is a wildlife preserve in Glen Rose, TX in which you ride around in your car safari like and see the animals up close. It's quite fun really), and the rules tell you to pull over if you want to either take pictures or feed the animals. But no, people have to park their cars right in the middle of the road to feed the turkeys and make everybody else wait behind them. What was supposed to be an hour long ride took FIVE hours. Does anybody else see a problem? I have seen events like these occurring all spring break. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. It's really not that hard. If there were not any rules, I might understand, but most of it is just COMMON SENSE anyway! Heres another example. My dad and I were on the Dart train in Dallas today and it was jam packed. The seats were full and so were the ailes. Well, we stopped at one of the stations and a couple left their seats and got off. An elderly woman started towards the seat, but no, here comes some hotshot on her cell phone, and not even paying any attention, she sits on the outside seat so that nobody else can occupy the empty seat. The elderly lady is stopped in her tracks and slowly hobbles back to the bar she was holding on too. COME ON!! Is there no sense of respect in today's society? Why do you have to take up two seats on a jam packed train for yourself? That woman never got up or moved over. She just sat in her TWO seats and made everybody stand until it was her turn to get off. I think spring break just stupefies people. It has got to be the only reason. Some people just need to think about others for a change, the world is not there to serve them.

I would like to think that people are not inherently self-centered or stupid, but then there are people begging to prove me wrong
