To everyone out there who is frustrated by the winter and snow: the rest of the city feels the same way. Instead of bitching out other people on the roads, sidewalks, bus or wherever they may be; take a step back and realize that these final days of winter are sucking for just about everyone. Especially to that one woman who yelled at me to move my car while I was stuck and spinning out on Willow St this morning, I hope your day turned around and that you realized that we are just trying to do our best. —Teeler

For some people their default mood is angry …very angry. The weather, drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, government, coworkers – everything and everyone imaginable – conspire to confirm their world view. Don’t take it personally.
There is only one thing worse than the snow and that is people bitching about it.
in situations like these I would suggest that you ask yourself: WWJSOBD?
I know! Let’s turn this into a contest…answer the above question and get it right and I will give you eternal life. Everyone is open to playing; Mod included.
Mind you, there may be some caveats-depending on who you are. I am not such a forgiving god as you make me out to be… but won’t it be fun!
TRYING TO DO YOUR BEST?

What do you mean, you’re just trying to do your best? You’re spinning out on Willow St. and you call that trying to do your best? Don’t tell me what you hope, Teeler! Just move your bloody car!
A pleasure as always,
One Woman
Unfortunately people will be bitching and complaining about the heat soon (and I swear if I hear anyone who does complain about the heat, I will punch them!).
<3 for throwing in a "take a step back" in your bitch.
WWJSOBD?
Why I’m certain, being the altruistic person he is, JSOB would walk to work each day carrying a large bag of de-icing salt. He would spread that salt on the sidewalk as he went, obviously not for his own benefit, but so those who came after him would be able to walk in sure-footed comfort. That’s what JSOB would do!
I’m on the job!
I doubt it, specially if she’s a me, myself, and I kind of person. And that is about 95% of the world’s population.
Daylight hours are getting longer and despite the snowfall in the forecast for today it is getting warmer outside,summer is on it’s way.
