Some of y'all are bound and determined to take a stand by doing absolutely fucking nothing, but as long as you get to pat yourself on the back for having tunnel vision I guess that's what's important.

Just walked all the way across town to make a purchase only to find that somehow I'd lost my ID. In a related note, if someone loses something and your first instinct is to ask them where the last place they saw it was, they should be legally allowed to choke the life out of you.
