Ticked off!

@bear-proof trash cans

-

I’m ticked off because no matter how fast I drive, there is always someone behind me who wants to drive faster.

I’m ticked off that the Seminole County Commission is considerin­g providing expensive bearproof trash cans, free, to some of the most affluent neighborho­ods in the county. I feel homeowners of multi-million dollar homes along the Markham Woods corridor can well afford to purchase them at their own expense. Additional­ly does anyone think the bears are going to leave the area once these cans are in place. Really?

I’m ticked off that there will be no raise in social security benefits this year because gas prices have declined. Food prices have increased and every other price has increased; even minimum wage workers are being given 10-30 percent increases and they drive more than retirees. What gives? Why does the government pretend to care about the elderly and slap them in the face? We’re not stupid, just poor!

I’m ticked off that the penalty for flying drones around airports or aiming laser beams at pilots trying to land their planes is so minor. These morons should be given the same prison time as if they had committed attempted murder, because that’s what they are doing.

I’m ticked off at retail stores now opening their doors to dogs of all breeds for fear of losing a few dollars in sales if they ever say no to anyone dragging Fido or Fifi shopping with them. Is it the store clerk’s responsibi­lity to clean up after Fifi when she lifts her leg on a clothing rack?
