Topic: The "I Dare You to Stay On Topic" Game

[frankcapri]

How long can you stay on topic?

Rules are as follows

1.  Your whole post must address the topic at hand.
     Any side comments, tangents or non-sequiters within the post will     
     result in a derailing.

2.  Posts may address the topic itself or be a comment on     
     something another poster has shared as long as said
     comment remains on topic.

2.  Emotions and web expressions like or LOL are
     allowed, but not if they are the only thing posted.

3.  If you see something off topic, quote the infringer
     and add his or her name to the scoreboard with a
     negative point.

4.  After the infringer has been brought to justice, post     
     your own topic for discussion.

5.  If the off-topicness has been going on for two posts
     or more, only quote the original derailer.  He or she is
     the one responsible after all 

The first topic for discussion is

Rude things you've seen people do

Just today I went to the grocery store and was
about to pull into a parking space when someone
swooped in and stole my spot. 

[jackalope21]

something rude that people do, at grocery stores is get in the 10 items or less lane when you KNOW you have more that 10 items.......those lanes need to be patrolled by that robot from Robocop

Something rude people do (often) in the supermarket is to scratch their balls.

I have sympathy for the people who didn't notice the 10 items or less sign, but those jerks that KNOW, I have no sympathy for. 
I've actually been the richard who says, "This is the express lane."  I guess that makes me rude

I think it's pretty rude that ladies leave the seat down all the time.

[frankcapri]

I always put the seat down, and the lid of the seat if it's there.
I read somewhere that when a toilet gets flushed that the
particulate matter in the toilet streams up into the air at
a distance that's frightening. 

If there is a lid, it makes me happy to put it down
because whether it's man or woman, they both have to lift it up 

[JackFrost]

Honestly, this is just so I can test how the game works...

But did your last comment fall under Rule #2, or did you go off topic?

Or am I being too nit-picky?

(Are we still in the supermarket rude topic?)

Something rude people do:

When I'm talking on the phone, people come up and start talking to me.  And when I'm talking to the caller, they butt in on the conversation with comments, "Oh yeah, blah blah blah blah." 

Indeed is rude, but sometimes necessary, like when they forget something to buy.

I definitely went off topic there

Sorry, for leaving it hanging - unfortunately, I was not with MaxD... 

Anyway...

Topic: Are you spending more time watching TV or surfing the Internets?

I'm gravitating more and more away from the TV since I can download a lot of shows and I can do other things while I'm watching them.

[frankcapri]

I spend far more time on the internet than I do watching television. 
Currently the only shows I watch are 30 Rock and The Office, so that makes
less than an hour compared to the countless hours I waste on the internet. 

Currently I don't even own a television, but watch those shows on a computer monitor
