Good morning posters.

It's yet another gloriously sunny morning here.

Thank you for your kind thoughts towards my daughter who says she had a mixed time with her exams yesterday. Time will tell, and she has another one this afternoon.

Yesterday I saw something that got me pretty annoyed and has given me the idea for today's peeve;

When there are signs up asking you not to do a particular thing, why do some people think that it does not apply to them?

You mean like "Stop" signs ...."Yield" signs ...traffic lights.... and the like?? Gee, I don't know Jezer ..it just seems like some people think they're above the law. It's a respect thing..some people just don't have it! For laws , rules, others or anything else.

I don't know, but this is a good peeve. Some people just think they are above the rules or the law, and seem very surprised when they discover they are not..I am seeing this more and more with young people, who are constantly defended by their parents for doing wrong. Can't really blame the kids, so parents need to step up to the plate.
