Piles and Piles

I like to read a lot.  I have a huge book list and I also enjoy reading certain things in the NYT such as the Science section.  There's also Arts & Life in my local paper which I get a huge kick out of.  Specifically the Rant and Rave column which is pretty much people being passive aggressive.  For example someone will write: 

To the guy across the street who has a mound of trash in his front yard: this is a nice neighborhood and we all value and take pride in our homes. Would you please clean up your mess.  Your home is an embarrassment!

See?  I mean if this isn't passive aggressive bs I don't know what is.  That is a farily typical example of many of the submissions to this column.  The Rants are complaints and winging and whining.  Mostly by folks who have no balls to nicely and politely approach someone and have a civilized conversation.  The Raves, well yes, you guessed it are comments on the lovely things that those people have either experienced first-hand or witnessed.

This past week I found a couple of winners that I'm sharing here.
