AN OUNCE OF PRETENTION IS WORTH A POUND OF MANURE!

I don't know about gas prices where you are but here they just went up to $2.29 for REGULAR - good Lord.  As I sat in line waiting for my turn at the pump, in my little Honda Civic, who should pull up in the line right next to me but some IDIOT driving a HUMMER.  It was all I could do to stay in my car and not get out and kick the side of this monstrosity.  With the windows tinted and the chrome gleaming, the driver opened the door, litterally SLID out of the car and oh what a picture - YUPPIE CITY - khakie pants, Polo shirt, dockers - and the ever present sunglasses. He was actually "smirking" as he looked around and the small cars and trucks getting gas.  He thought he was sooooo important - LOOK AT ME - I DRIVE A HUMMER!!

Hummers get about 6 miles to the gallon and cost about $50,000.  WHY WOULD ANYONE DRIVE ONE OF THESE THINGS WITH GAS PRICES WHAT THEY ARE NOW?????????????  These idiots are just contributing to the problem. 

Hummers are military vehicles - to provide the military with protection and the ability to travel over rough country.  There is not a street in my city that my Civic can't manuver, and I don't have any enemies that I need THAT much protection from.

I filled my tank for $22.00.  He filled his tank for - are you ready for this - $96.43.  Unbelievable - I just can't believe it.  And I'm sure that he'll be back at the pumps before I will. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

He could take that money and give it to the Red Cross, a homeless shelter, a crisis center, a children's home, a food pantry and actually HELP somebody else - but no - just throw that money in the gas tank of that "thing" and drive off his merry way - LOOK AT ME - I DRIVE A HUMMER!!!!

Idiot

I need to calm down -

Peace
