I see a bright pink sofa that's covered in snow sitting in the middle of a busy street.  Everyone has to slow down and get into one lane to go around it.  I wonder where it came from, how it got there, who it belonged to.  If it fell off someone's car, surely they would have realized it and come back.  Or maybe some guy finally had enough of his wife's pink sofa and it "accidentally" fell off his truck.  Whatever happened,  I wonder if it will still be there tomorrow.

I see a long line at a check out and it doesn't seem to be moving.  The clerk calls for some backup and another clerk eventually walks up to help.  He goes to his register, and says over the intercom "Lane 2 is open, I can help someone." SOMEONE?  No, it should be, "I can help the NEXT person in line."  All the customers from the back of the line hurriedly go to the new register, while the people in front, who have been waiting for quite a long time, still have to wait.

I see a newspaper headline: "Ferret attacks sleeping infant."  How can a mother be asleep in the same room as her screaming baby while seven of his fingers are being chewed off by an animal?  Why would you own an exotic animal with small children and dogs in the home?  The parents had even been warned by the landlord to get rid of the ferret.  It's sad when parents have higher priorities than the welfare of their kids.  I guess they felt they have the right to have the pet of their choice.  Too bad the baby didn't have the right to have protective parents.
