The Dawn of a New Era

Based on the example of fine upstanding men such as Steven Colbert and DJ Dent, I have decided to create my own list of people that irritate me. I'm calling it, "The People Who Should Get Rabies List." Now, before you get all bent out of shape, rabies is no longer a deadly disease. If you contract rabies it basicaly means that you just need to go to the doctor and get a few shots. It is inconvenient, that's about all.

And now, (drumroll) the first person to make it onto the list: the jerk who is in charge of layout at the JC Pennys outlet. This persons offense is at least three fold:
  1. The store is arranged so that the men's clothing department is on one extremer end of the building. The fitting rooms are on the littoral other end of the building. While this in itself might not have been so bad were it not for #2.
  2. Every aisle in the entire store has been clogged with bins of crap that would not sell in its normal position in the already overcrowded store. This means that each of the aisles which originally had space for carts to travel three wide have now become one way alleys rife with potential for head on collisions.
  3. I appreciate the fact that they have created a section for the "big and tall." What really gets me is when this section contains pants with a 28 inch waist, dress shirts with a 14 inch collar, and t-shirts sized medium. Now, doesn't the section "big and tall" by definition exclude things that are medium?
And there you have it, the first name on the list.

Here's another item to add to the list .... clothing stores stocking sizes from S to XL with the small sizes at the top and the XL sizes at the bottom. . . if you wear small, you're likely to be shorter than the XL person who currently has to bend all the way tothe floor to find her/his size AND same for shoes. . . the petite shoes are at the top where the little people have trouble reaching them and the big foot people have to, once again, bend all the way down to the floor to find their size! duh!!! ~ Jill K C
