You know what really grinds my gears?

You know what really grinds my gears? People who think they are above everyone else who don't think they have to obey rules.

For example: I was driving home last night from the movie with Jase. I about to turn onto Fulton from the Lloyd exit, and I noticed there was a car waiting to turn left. We had a red light, and so after stopping and making sure there wasn't any cars coming the other way, I proceeded to turn right. As I was going, I started to notice the guy in the other car moving forward as well. As I turned and looked into my reveiw mirror, I noticed the person had turned left, while the light was still red!!! Now, why in the world would he think that it was ok for him to do that? There was no sign that said "Left turn on red allowed after stop". Just because no one is around (which there were people around, ie: me) doesn't mean you can run a red light!! Why do you think you are special enough to not have to obey the traffic rules that everyone else does? If you would have just waited, you would have gotten your stinking green light not even sixty seconds later!

Example number 2: I'm at school in the library typing this right now. Why does the girl accross from me think it's ok to have a coffee and a cookie/brownie/something from Starbucks with her at the computer? The rule clearly says that no food or drink (unless it's bottled) is allowed in the library. And you're sitting at a computer eating and drinking from a starbucks cup? REALLY?! Just because you are probably a rich daddy's girl doesn't mean you are allowed to do whatever you want.

I've always been good about following the rules my whole life. Maybe that's why I'm so picky about it now. But come on people. How about we follow the rules and shrink the size of our heads a little bit?
