Stupid Animals and Stupid People


I almost got in a wreck the other day because of a dumb, suicidal dog. I was on my way home and this dog ran right out in front of the car in front of me. So that car slammed on its brakes and I had to slam on my brakes. (Luckily I got the deluxe oil change last week and got my brake fluid all topped off.) No accident so far. Then I checked my rear view mirror, I was scared but yes the mini-van also managed to stop without hitting me. It was close. Then of course the idiot behind me starts honking like it's my fault. Then he changes lanes and speeds away. Idiot.

The next stupid thing is the new drama going on in my apartment. Well it was drama for the two days that it was warm and now the drama is dormant because of the cool weather but I'm sure that once things heat up again so will apartment tensions. I have this roommate who apparently wants the AC on 24/7. Now it gets hot in Utah during the day, this I admit, but none of us are home during the day so why cool an empty house. And at night it's bearable, even on the hottest days so why waste money when we can just open the windows and get a nice breeze. The other stupid thing is that AC to this roommate doesn't mean 70-75 degrees, it means 60. Seriously?! So that's the next drama that will unfold as the summer progresses. I just keep telling myself "3 more months". I can make it. Then it will be on to more interesting and exciting new roommate adventures next year. Why wouldn't everyone want to live the single life forever?!

If it's hot outside, I like to have the a/c on for at least a half hour before I get home so that it will cool down, but you guys don't have the automatic thermostat so that's not an option really.

And if it was only to like 72 or 73, then it would make sense to leave it on more b/c you never know when exactly people will be home. But at night... I think it should be off, or at least set to 75 or something, in case it gets really hot.

I'm so glad the dog got away okay. They really can be dumb sometimes, but their stupidity pales in comparison to Utah drivers!

Apparently roommates can be dumb sometimes too. I love your roommate rants on here. It really gives me an appreciation for my roommate situation. :) You really can live through anything for 3 months though, so keep up the good work!

Yeah, I have pretty much given up on driving here. People are just awful at it. It's amazing more people don't die out here...seriously.
