Mini Rants

Mini Rants
Okay; I got two small rants.
#1. I hate it when people drive out into an intersection when there is a traffic jam. If there isn't enough room to get across the intersection, don't enter. If the light turns red, and you're stuck out in the middle of the intersection; that's a problem. Who do you think you are anyway?! So yesterday; I was approaching an intersection where construction has been a problem for over a week. I cannot get across the intersection so I stop before it. This broad yapping on her cell phone behind me has the nerve to honk at me. As if I were doing something wrong by doing what's right.....
#2. So our accountant at work calls up one of our old telephone carriers and requests payment of an outstanding $150 credit on our bill. We haven't had any services with them since early this year. Anyway; they say they cannot pay us because we are under contract until January 2007. What? That's news to us. But that's not why I'm ranting. Being that we are not being billed for anything; we ask what services were under contract for. Turns out since we canceled our T1 circuits early; we're responsible for 1/2 the monthly rate for the duration of the contract. But they haven't been billing us. Their mistake. Now they're demanding $6000 from us in back-bills we had not been billed for. The way I see it; you shouldn't be able to F-up for X amount of time; realize your mistake; and then send out a Fat bill and expect payment in full.

#1 - I agree. I will pull up on the person (usually a woman) blocking my green light...put my headlights at her head if that doesn't work than a horn to the left ear will. You gotta train em...
#2 - Gotta read the contract so I don't have much sympathy there. Guy calls for a $150 credit and gets a $6000 bill. Now that is funny.

I have a Mini Rant.....or question actually.
What's with these tards that like to ride in your blind spot? I see people doing this all the time.
I'll be cruising along doing about 70ish, and these idiots will come hauling azz from behind. I'll change lanes to give them their space by moving into the right hand lane, and they will slow down in my blind spot and ride there?
WTF?
Anyone know why these idiots do this?

MY MINI RANT
Why is it when you hold the door for someone, they say thanks, but put their hand on the door like you are going to let go of it?
I was coming out of Tim Hortons this morning, this old lady was coming in so being the nice guy I am, I held the door for her. She put her hand on the door as she walked in. She said thanks, but by putting her hand on the door its like saying "Thanks, just want to make sure you don't slam it in my face you filthy idiot."
I notice this one a lot, but sleep drapravity has magnified it today... haha.
