Rant

Can I please stop hearing about “the gap” between the train and the platform please? Also please shut off those voices that tell us how to navigate an escalator. The same track has been playing for ten years in Penn Station, we got it okay?  What about the warnings on commercials about “Don’t try this or the latest one about two guys riding their RV’s on sand covered hills and having us being told that it was an approved riding  area. Who is this for some zealot with an agenda? American advertisers focus on the lamest of details. And speaking of advertisers, will you please stop telling us in every car commercial that it’s an EVENT?  It’s not an event, it’s a sale that’s it. Also stop with the word introducing, a car is not a person.  And you lease guys stop with the stupid monthly price that you back into by playing with the down payment. Such nonsense. 199 a month with 4,000 dollars down. Are we that dumb? Or is it that you are?  Moreover stop using 99 when pricing something. Advertisers should have to use numbers no higher than 5. Just like gas prices that have persisted in measuring prices  in mills. There is no such thing as 9 tenths of a penny. We are not in colonial times anymore.  Here’s one, how about we start a serious campaign by telling people to signal when changing lanes? Yes, signal when changing lanes and let’s make it clear that buses (any type bus even those sawed off ones) and trucks do not belong on the parkway. Also you truck drivers have you forgot that you are not to drive in the left lane? What’s the matter DTI forgot that one? Stepping off my soapbox.
