Ticked off! @no bike trail maps

To the person ticked off at drivers tailgating them. One car length for every 10 miles per hour? What type vehicle are you in … Volkswagen Beetle, mid size sedan, Greyhound bus? That system is so antiquated as to be useless. No one can determine the length of their vehicle. The modern system is the “two-second rule.” Pick a spot on the road, a sign, a tree, a line in the road, anything. When the vehicle in front of you passes that spot, start counting, “One thousand one, one thousand two. If you pass the spot before reaching two, you are too close. This works for any vehicle, at any speed.

I am ticked off that we can’t watch the “Peanuts” holiday cartoons on broadcast TV this year. They have become an institution to so many, and now they’re gone to a streaming service. To quote Charlie Brown, “Rats.”

We moved from Minnesota,

where biking was somewhat limited to the weather, but detailed printed trail maps were easy to find. Now we’re in Florida, where trails are available all year round, but printed detailed trail maps seem to be nonexistent.

I’m ticked off at the U.S. Postal Service. Two separate packages, sent from Orlando via Priority Express Package mail rates, each took more than seven days to be delivered to city destinations in South Carolina. No apologies, no refunds.

The flip side

I get such a chuckle out of some of the Ticked Off! comments I see on a daily basis! The things people choose to be ticked off about make for a few moments of delightful entertainment!

Need to vent?

I’m Ticked Off! Are you?
