Thank Gawd For Blogging And Tim Hortons........

......Can you imagine the chaos and violence that might erupt on the streets if it weren't for these two outlets.

A maddening poll
April 12, 2008

Canadians aren't just looking back in anger; every which way they turn seems to produce an object of ire.

Someone cutting in line? More than 70 per cent of people polled report being ticked off on seeing that, according to a recent Angus Reid poll. Neglecting to clean up after a dog? Sixty-six per cent say failing to scoop gets their goat. Witnessing bad manners? Fifty-eight per cent are steamed.

Indeed, almost half of Canadians surveyed said people are angrier now than a year ago. And one in four confessed to getting their dander up more often than in the past.

People weren't just ticked off by the expected irritants, like telemarketers' calls (58 per cent), ATM fees (54 per cent) and bad service in restaurants (42 per cent fuming).

They also reported anger over the sight of people wearing flip-flops in wintertime; people who take their kids to formal restaurants; people who drink too much alcohol; those who don't drink at all; and, ironically, people who complain a lot.

It seems Angus Reid could have made their poll simpler by asking Canadians what didn't make them angry.

About Me

My photo
I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.
