I’m pretty sure that this will be the year that I get super powers. If that is the case, which is more than likely, there are a number of people that should avoid my ire.
- People that change lanes without signaling: This is a crime that should be punishable by jail time. If I am gifted with super strength, expect me to carry you and your car directly to prison. If I get laser eye beams, say goodbye to your tires.
- People that play loud music and talk loudly in public places: It’s really just a stupid move, and I’ll be tempted to take away their ability to do one of those things.
- People that use the word “amazing” in more than one sentence per thirty seconds: I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I’m sure it isn’t amazing. You know what’s amazing? My ice powers are amazing. Watch me do something amazing.
- Most people in the mall: The mall works like a highway. Eastbound on one side, westbound on the other. Slower traffic to the right, and on and on and on. Just as you wouldn’t stop your car as soon as you get off of your exit or ramp, you shouldn’t stop in the middle of mall traffic once you are in or out of your store. I should not have to transform into something ferocious to demonstrate this to you.
- People that “just can’t listen to music without words in it”: The great thing about my magical power set is that I can use some of those words you like so much to summon your own personal unhappy place in your mind, and none of the doctors at the asylum can help you. Maybe you should give that Brahms a second chance.
- People that talk or text message in the theater: If you want to talk during the movie or play, at least refund me my ticket before it starts so that I can walk out and not waste two hours of my evening listening to you tell your friend about that guy you met and his wee-wee. As for phone usage, the lights are off for a reason. Fire’s a funny thing though. Turns out that cell phones don’t like it all that much.
If these are habits of a super villain, then so be it. A villain I shall be, but only for the sake of a better world.
