What's wrong with people?

I swear people are so stupid, so arrogant, so inconsiderate these days it's getting depressing. For example we were in Barnes & Noble today at the overpriced coffee stand, and these two women at the table next to us got up, having made a complete mess, and left a huge pile of books on the table, and just walked off. What the hell? Are they so inconsiderate that they won't put the books back? They'll walk around the store and pick them all up, but then after having their cup of overpriced coffee they'll walk off an leave them for someone else to clear up. What happened to common decency? Too much trouble to drag their lazy asses back to the proper shelves I suppose.
Then at Albertsons - not one but two women drifted into the gigantic painted yellow "NO PARKING" area, and parked, got out and walked into the store. Apparently so stupid they can't read, or so inconsiderate of everyone else that they would prefer to park where they want no matter how much inconvenience it causes to everyone else.
Sometimes I see this stuff and just want to go up to these people and beat the living shit out of them.

The non-separation of the LDS church and Utah state.

Look - I understand that mormons think gays are somehow evil, subhumans. I understand that the LDS won't tolerate gays, doesn't like them and thus won't marry them. But for local government to overturn a supreme court ruling about gay marriage is taking it too far. This is religious persecution on a par with the dark ages. The church doesn't like gays, so it leans on its members in government to do everything possible to prevent them from having the basic rights afforded other couples who want to marry. In other words, the LDS church is forcing it's (wrong) opinion about the LGBT community on everyone, via state and local laws that it has had passed and enforced on its behalf. Why should non-religious people be forced to abide by the opinion of a religious cult that they have no affiliation with? Apart from anything else, the uber-conservatives in this state are always the first ones to bitch when something even slightly unconstitutional happens, yet here they are r

Employees don't want much

I'm sitting looking at my company's internal 'learning' system this morning - hundreds of online courses that are available to all employees, some of which we're mandated to take. I'm not sure why the rest of them exist. We certainly don't have time to do any of the courses, and for the average employee, they hold no relevance to what we do, or want to do in our day-to-day jobs. I for one just want to be assigned tasks, and then be left alone. I don't need to do hazardous material training - my job doesn't involve hazardous materials. I don't need micromanagement. I don't need all the various efficiency and ethics courses that are available because I have common sense. I don't need to be instructed how to use the email system, nor how 'just in time' manufacturing is good for the company (it has no bearing on our division). Ok I understand all of this is corporate C-Y-A but so many of these things are just inconsequential to us. On
