so I'm in the grocery store this morning and when the cashier is about halfway through ringing up my stuff, she stops, looks up at me and says "You want all of this in bags?" as she waves her hands over my stuff.

Now, I get that, even down here in Satan's armpit Corpus Christi, people are being encouraged to reduce, reuse and recycle, which is great, but... I had about $50 worth of groceries; canned food, produce, frozen stuff.

I told them that it would be great if they'd put everything but the gallons of water in bags. As if to give the environment the finger, the bagger ended up putting nearly everything in separate, small bags.

Isn't it possible to find a happy medium between no bags and seventy bazillion?

Drivers of Corpus Christi?

It's NOT necessary to come to a complete fucking stop prior to making a right hand turn into an otherwise empty parking lot/side street/driveway. You may want to consider using your turn signals instead to indicate your intention to turn.

The roofers who have been tromping around the roof of the house directly behind mine?

I don't know how you managed to find a radio station that plays both mind-numbingly repetitive electronic music AND mariachi music, but do you need to have it on loud enough so that I can hear it over my washer and dryer? Because that is CRAZY annoying.
