If you're not doing anything that impinges upon my safety, great. However 
if you are carrying on a cell phone conversation in rushhour traffic and 
going 15MPH below what everyone else is doing, or think that finding that 
number on a tiny-buttoned phone whilst not paying attention in an aisle at 
a store, then you deserve nothing but disdain (and a smack on the bottom! 
- unless you like that sort of thing, in which case you *don't* get it). 

I believe it's mostly people "getting in the way" that bother me, and not 
paying attention to their surroundings. Is there not enough beauty in a 
dining companion (or your food, or your beer, or whatever else) to pay 
attention to it?

->Tanner Lovelace, who loves mayo on hamburgers and hotdogs.

Do the non-mayo-liking people also not like potato salad, egg salad, etc?
