These things make no sense

I am still feeling fairly disgruntled. Although there are a few things that have made me feel gruntled (I know, it's not a word, but I like it) today. One of those things is the gluten free almond cookies a client baked for me, which I will be finishing while watching the Biggest Loser (and before you judge me for eating cookies while watching a weight loss show, admit it, you'd do the same thing). And while I am at it, watching the Biggest Loser will make feel gruntled. And my giant furry Norwegian forest cat Murray will probably sit on my lap during at least a part of the show, and purr a lot, and that will similarly make me feel gruntled. So there, something nice to start this post off before I bitch again.

On to the bitchery! Why does everybody not have EZ-Pass? Honestly. I want to know. Because here is the difference between E-Z Pass vs. No E-Z Pass: heating up a mug of hot chocolate in the microwave, versus making a fire in your backyard out of sticks you must gather up first, and then boiling a pot of water over the fire, pulling it out of the fire without burning yourself, and then pouring the water into a mug. Oh and if you are in the dark ages, this is what E-Z pass does

Seriously. If you've ever seen a line of 67 cars waiting for a toll, and then sped by them like me on your way to the "you don't even have to stop, just slow down a little" EZ Pass line, you will be stymied by this. My guess is that maybe these people have just not figured out what it would take to apply for said EZ Pass? Or maybe they don't have a credit card, so they can't get one? But my guess is that there a ton of people out there who are aggravating themselves (and me, when their super long toll line actually blocks the EZ Pass people, from, well, passing) for no good reason!

This brings me to pointless waiting on line item number 2: Why do people wait on the ticket line at movie theaters anymore? Hubby and I used to go this movie theater sort of where we lived in Brooklyn, on Atlantic Avenue, and you'd get close to it and there would be a line outside stretched halfway down the block - sometimes over a hundred people long, waiting to buy tickets. This theater also had about 10 electronic ticket machines, where you could purchase tickets with a credit card. Know how many people were usually on line there? 2. Again, this goes back to my credit card thought, that maybe some people don't have credit cards, or don't want to use them to buy tickets? But you can even use a debit card on those machines! Who doesn't have a debit card? It's the same damn thing as cash, pretty much. I think all you need to have one is a bank account and am I wrong for assuming most people have one of those? In which case, I think maybe you shouldn't be going to the movies, you should be saving your money, so you can get a bank account. Because damn.
