People Watching

I have always enjoyed people watching.  Just seeing them navigate through life is amusing.  Sometimes I question (in my mind) the logic for what they are doing.

I know I am not alone because Jeff Foxworthy has created a whole comedy routine and career around rednecks.

I have often joked, when I see people doing incredibly stupid or silly things – that THESE are voters.

Comedian Louis Anderson once commented that his dad would say stupid things while driving.  He would say, “I could be the last person on earth, and the guy in front of me would be making a left turn.”

I have watched people at the malls (especially during the crowded shopping season) circle the parking lot looking for a close parking space when gasoline is $3.50 a gallon.

I have driven past many high schools where the people who walk the track for exercise park right next to the entrance gate.

I have seen people at a store pull out a credit card (and pay 18% interest) on an impulse buy that is marked down 10%.

For some reason, people think, while sitting at a traffic light in their car with a clear window that we cannot see them picking their nose.

Daily I see people at fast food restaurants purchase a large drink – when the drink has unlimited refills.

The point here folks is that we ALL do silly stupid things. 

The people around us may find us amusing.  But, they too do silly dumb things.
Another point here is that we have to take a moment and laugh at ourselves – often we see life as way too serious.  
Take time each day to laugh at yourself.  It’s healthy.  It’s therapeutic.  It’s even a stress reliever. 

Have a great week
