People Are Hard to Understand

If you really stop to look around you, it’s shocking how many small absurdities are out there just because people don’t think things through:

• Web sites with an article’s date in a small font and today’s date in a big prominent font
• Switching from walking to running in front of moving traffic when the light turns green instead of stopping at the median
• Referring friends to work at a startup that has screwed you in the past because you think management has learned its lesson
• Plunging headfirst into the middle of massive rapids on a riverboard
• Not cutting your fingernails when you spend all day typing
• Writing a blog post full of drivel instead of writing inspirational copy for your brave new startup
