Tell me about it.

I look at some of the things people do just to save walking a few steps and it astounds me. I mean, are you so damned lazy?

When I enter a parking lot, I usually just grab the first spot I can find. I hate looking around for a parking spot. Well, one day I went to the grocery store and the lot was about a third full. So the first spot I found happened to be the one right next to an entrance.

So I parked, and went in to shop. When I came out, I started loading my car. The parking spot three spaces over from me was available, yet one woman decided to sit there and wait for me to put my stuff away just so she could save herself fifteen feet of walking.

You have got to be kidding me! Naturally, of course, I took my time.

I would have taken my time, closed the doors, and walked back into the store. :twisted: But that's just me.

It's like going to a gym that is located on the second floor of a building, and using the elevator or escalator instead of the stairs to go up...

Disney could start a special program for people who want to exercise: one hour before opening of the park, you can run the length of each waiting queue (do the Indy one twice to burn those extra calories, and 4 times if you want to eat a Dole Whip later that day!)

"Guest tripped after swimsuit got caught in turnstile."

"Bottomed up" would be more like "The Posiden Adventure." ;)
