Have you ever needed to just write something down? It should be a simple enough task.... It all starts going down hill when it takes you what seems like a life time to find a pencil. Then you find it: the last of the increasingly endangered species of pencil. But it doesn't stop there. Oh no. You can even manage to write down one letter without the blasted lead breaking. Don't worry, we all have them - that damn pencil that never wants to work, you never bother to throw away, and yet is the only one that wants to be found.

Scowl.

You have a craving, for fruit. You smile at the thought of a fresh, ripe, huge watermelon. You go to the supermarket. And find......

This is what happened to me yesterday. To my horror, it was not a mistake. Obnoxiously over priced fruit is just plain wrong.

Scowl. Scowl indeed.

It's evening (morning, afternoon, etc). You're on the road, driving home (to, from, with, etc). There's a car ahead of you. You're both doing the speed limit. There's cars coming the other way. ... When all of a sudden a car from behind decides now is a good time to try and pass you and the car in front of you. You know there's not enough time for the car to pass. You panic. You pray.... pray that the ten car pile up and head on collision that could happen any second now doesn't. You slam on you breaks. At the last second the passing car slides in in front of you. Missing the collision by no more than a foot. Horns sound. Hearts pound. And mouths fly.

The next time you're about to pass someone, thinking to yourself  "can I make it?" DON'T. Arriving at your destination seconds or minutes sooner is not worth risking your life or the life of anyone else.

Bad drivers who don't give a hoot about other human beings = scowl.

You're sad. You're depressed. You decide on the perfect solution-ice cream. You smile at the thought of it. You grab a spoon, and go to the freezer. You retrieve the tub. You get cozy, sit down, put on a flick. And dig in..... to the piddly half a scoop someone left hiding in the bottom of the tub, just for you.

Scowl.

If you're one of those people who doesn't use their turn signals when driving... please stop. You're not very well liked by the person behind you.

Scowl.

You're out and about. You really have to pee. You find a restroom. You select a clean stall and enter. You're the only one in there. There's ten free stalls. Some one comes in. And chooses the stall... Right. Next. To. Yours.

Scowl.
