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

And that’s just the first 1/3 of the day….
