Ned Pepper's Outrages

Distasteful people, v. 22: revised already!

Ned is pleased to relate that he has encountered persons exhibiting the identical obnoxious traits he referred to in the abstract with one of his former posts, and he hastens to share these with his many friends.
* A dog lover offered this justification for owning dogs in Ned's development: "a dog is going to bark, and there is nothing we can do about that, as long as they don't bark consistently all day or all night." Ned relishes the self-indulgence, narcissistic quality and incipient anti-social attitude this individual expresses, and Ned is certain the person feels they are absolutely reasonable in their views. They added another gem: 'If we need to sell our house, and the only person who wants to buy it has dogs, we should be allowed to sell it to them." Ned asks his friends to appreciate the sense of this comment; to wit,'we both have rights, but mine are more important than yours.' A true anti-social sentiment.
* At Ned's gym today, he wanted to use a dryer, only to find that someone had placed himself in between both wall-mounted dryers, and was using both of them!
* At Ned's local Starbucks, two Millennials were using one computer and, so that they could more easily see what was on the one computer, they had moved two tables together, and were occupying both of them! This in a crowded coffee shop with no empty seats. Ned rubbed his hands in glee at this exhibit of self-indulgent, the-public-be-damned attitude on the part of This Flower Of Our Youth.
* Finally, two women were working side by side on two elliptical machines near Ned, and one of them jabbered constantly, in a loud voice, virtually without ceasing, for at least twenty minutes, such that Ned was almost moved to get off his machine and ask the offending women to please STFU for at least 60 seconds.
Other than these, Ned has had his usual placid day.
