Non sequitors

Random pet peeves…

Experian is full of shit. This ad makes it appear that Obama has some agenda for auto insurance. Bull shit. Obama’s health-care package has nothing at all to do with auto insurance.  All this ad is, is a lead one to take you to the Experian website where they try to get you to sign up for a free credit report that is not free. Experian is trying to sucker you into paying for something that you are entitled to for free.

While I am in a ranting mood, I have more. I had to stop by Pathmark this morning and pick up some boxes of macaroni and cheese to donate to the food bank.  I find a parking spot close to the store that wasn’t a handicapped spot, and then read the stupid sign in front of the space. The sign declared that it was a “courtesy space” for people with small children and infants.

My three kids are all 18 years old or older now. But, neither my ex-wife nor I ever had a fucking “courtesy space” when we were raising our kids.  Come on, now – it is not like parents are invalids!

When I got inside Pathmark, I headed for the pasta aisle – thinking logically that macaroni and cheese would be located in the pasta aisle. I don’t know – I am not exceptionally bright, but that seemed like a logical deduction. I found boxes of macaroni, rigatoni, linguine, lasagna noodles – hell across the aisle were bags of rice and boxes of Zatarains – but no macaroni and cheese.

Luckily I saw Cindy, a friend that works at Pathmark, and she showed me the error of my ways. There was no mac & cheese in the pasta aisle – silly me – it was two aisles down in “prepared foods”. I guess the fact that they toss in a bag of fake cheese product with the macaroni makes it prepared. But the Zatarains apparently does not qualify as “prepared”.

That is all for today – I am ranted out.
