So how about something to make us feel good for a change?

As you're waiting for the movie to start, you see someone walk in with a stroller and a baby...uh-oh...

You notice a number of people in the waiting room, which makes you nervous, then you hear those fateful words, "we're running just a little behind this morning, please have a seat".

I don't know what it is, maybe I do in fact have mild road rage, but few things get my blood pressure up like being annoyed in the car. That being said, we have some truly terrible intersections in Ocean County.

But have you ever gone through those days where it just seems like everything is annoying you? Today it was the parking lot at my local "big box store".

Suddenly you come up on a vehicle in the "passing lane" taking their sweet time and you have to slow way down. You have just encountered a "left lane camper" (and I'm using the polite name here).
