Dude, sometimes when you start getting worked up about something it is just a singular one-way street to absolutely meltdown-town. It still doesn't excuse the mental anguish of saying your 80th "hello, good morning" in a row within 45 minutes to an endless stream of people on the same hiking trail. People who walk for the sake of walking "hikers" really need to diversify this portfolio of trails they use cuz Jesus Christ I don't know how people can swarm a single trail and find any "tranquility" in it when nature is blocked out by human refuse.

Why do people do things like this? I just don't understand how people can assert their sense of 'safe' when over-reaching rigid adherence to rules and posted limits actually makes things so much worse, longer, and more painful. Speed limit is 25 mph? Go 30. Is there a *line* of people behind you on the sidewalk? Please pick up your feet and get a move on. For the love of God, prepare what you want to order at a cafe WHILE YOU ARE IN THE LINE, rather than when you arrive at the cash register.

Join me in an ode to anybody who's somewhere between being too old to get away with wasting time and too young to have enjoyed any kind of significant success. I'm 27, full of experience, educated beyond retention, have an unimpressive bank account, and burned the hell out; sound relatable? Let's joke around and decompress together.
