… if you’re driving on the freeway and a parade of vehicles is passing on your right, get the lead (or your head, as the case may be) out of your ass and either pick up the pace or move to the right … for this purpose, a “parade” is defined as more than two cars in any five minute period …

… if you’re in the supermarket and want to go wandering off in search of kumquats, don’t leave your cart sitting in the middle of the aisle blocking the way … and don’t stand in the middle of the aisle blabbing with a friend and blocking everyone else …

… when you get to the top (or bottom) of an escalator, don’t stop abruptly to figure out where you want to go while blocking the people behind you … ditto when you get off an elevator … or out of the jetway at the airport …

… for crying out loud, carry a little cash around with you … don’t be holding up everyone else while using your credit card to buy a 99 cent candy bar at a convenience store …

… that toll booth at the local bridge didn’t just spring up overnight like a mushroom … it’s been there for years … have your money ready before you get there so that eight cars don’t go through the lanes on either side while you’re fumbling around and holding up traffic behind you …

… lead, follow or get out of the way …
