Have you ever noticed how the world would be such a better place if people just did what we wanted them to do--or didn't do what we didn't want them to do? My List of Don'ts is my humble attempt to improve the world I live in. Perhaps it will improve your world as well.

The CARDINAL DON'T: Don't be such a fucking pussy!

#162: Don't inflict your phone conversations on others



So I'm sitting in the Jesus car wash's tiny waiting room with three other nice polite people like me. And in walks baldy here, who cracks open his phone and begins roto-dialing his entire family to make Christmas plans. The calm, pre-holiday communion with strangers has been shattered. Instead we all are bludgeoned to distraction by what I guess he thinks we should all find fascinating. To-wit: He has some child in his life, and wonders what Santa is going to bring him. FAR OUT, MAN! And he's trying to find someone to go with him to walk his dog at the Arboretum on Christmas morning. Want to go? Give him a buzz, then. And while you're at it, tell him to get up off his lazy ass and take it outside.
