Curmudgeon

Even though I don't like Andy Rooney I'm just like him. He's a curmudgeon, and I'm the same way.

For instance, I hate it when people walk with their cane on the wrong side. If you injure your right foot, you should use your cane on the right side. It's to provide an aide to the injury. Half the people use it on the left side, thereby hurting the injury even more.

I once approached a woman on the street who was using it on the wrong side. I'll never do that again!

I emailed Tara Parker-Pope about this when she was at The New York Times (now she's at The Wall Street Journal).  She agreed with me. I talked to two doctors about this, one my general physcian and one a podiatrist. They said the same thing.

And women shouldn't tug on a skirt or a blouse if it's too short or shows to much cleavage. I'm certainly not a prude, but if a woman is uncomfortable in a miniskirt she shouldn't wear it. Some women are always tugging their skirt to cover up their legs. Don't wear it if it makes you uncomfortable!

Another thing I dislike is when you're filling out a website. When it asks for the state, it usually goes to a list, you can fill in NY, or New York, one or the other. Originally, I think they made it easy for website designers, but it's totally unnecesarry now. Anyone knows the abbreviation of their state, or knows how to spell it.

So, I turn off 60Minutes just before Andy Rooney comes on, but I'm just like him.
