BEEP BEEP

back in july i refused to renew my car rego when a) it probably wasn't going to pass rego and b) i was leaving the country in a few months, so as a result of such i've had to walk to work for the past 2 months-ish... WHAT is with the beeping?!?! honestly!!! how do people i know actually expect this to be a legitimate form of communication? for starters, it's not like i'd recognise the approaching car anyway as most of them are customers and i don't serve them in the car park. so already they have the added advantage of a good few seconds to go 'oh look theres someone walking, i think i know her.. i do... its the video chick' and just before they get to me beep. meanwhile i get whip lash trying to catch who it was as they fly past me at 60km p/h (yeah, its a main road). lets not forget that i'm half asleep because its the morning and i'm not a morning person, so that significantly alters my response time. THEN add to that i don't even know if its someone i know or if its some random guy who thinks he's funny. if that's the case i don't want to look like an idiot just waving to some loser who'll beep at anything that slightly resembles a female (why do they do that???). come to think of it, i don't want to wave at someone who knows me and doesn't stop and save me from dragging my arse up that damn hill! GIVE ME A LIFT YOU SELFISH BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!! sittin there in your comfortable cars with the radio on *grumble grumble* also it just bugs me all day wondering who it could have been (i'm one of those people who can't let a phone ring out because i'll want to know who's on the other end and what they have to say)

OH! and then these people have the audacity to call me a snob/bitch/doofus for ignoring them... excuse me, i was busy trying not to have an exercise induced heart attack (exercise and i just aren't the best of friends you see) AND I DIDN'T SEE YOU!

so there you have it, my valid arguement as to why beeping is a waste of time...
