No No's

A quick list of things that should never have found themselves in modern day existence:

1. leashes for babies...have you seen these? I mean the first time you see a baby try to take more than three steps with one of those leashes strapped to its waist, I'll admit, it's funny. But when the baby continues to walk away from its parent, only to get snapped back into place- well it just gets sad, and hard to watch. Still gotta watch of course, but eventually it's just cruel to mock, and you have to turn away. You may ask yourself, what's worse than a kid on a leash? Well  I will tell you...a cat on a leash. That's just freaky.

2.  fanny packs...I saw someone the other day wearing one backwards. This is just wrong. It's saying three things immediately about that person: they are from out of town, they want to be robbed and they own Keds.

3. when the phrase This must be the local is said out loud when someone walks on to a crowded elevator...I heard it about five times in a three day period once and I rolled my eyes and scoffed each time. These are the same people who warn you to not get your pants stuck on escalators and they also feel the need to tell you that you "just missed three busses in a row...now there's a long wait". Seriously- if you see me running to the bus stop, I'd really rather not know if I missed three nearly empty ones. Don't ruin the fun surprise of public transportation for me. I'm the one who keeps on looking up and down the street to see if maybe the bus will appear from behind a mailbox or telephone pole. 

Thanks folks, I'll be here all week.

best part was the comment about the Keds, that's definitely true.

also enjoyed the part about looking for a bus to appear from behind the mailbox, very true.

can't wait to catch the rest of your act :P
