Morning Radio

I was really annoyed with people this morning. A woman called in to my usual morning show to ask for advice. One of her neighbors had an altercation with the police in the wee hours of the morning and had shattered the rear window of a cruiser. This left broken glass all over the street by her complex's mailboxes. Her question was: "Who has to pick this glass up?"

Now keep in mind, all that is needed to clean up the glass is a broom, a dustpan, and a trash can. Maybe some work gloves too. These are things you already have around the house. The only cost to this woman is her time and she spent about ten minutes talking about this on the radio. In the time this woman spent jawing with the hosts, she could have gone out and cleaned up the mess and everyone would be the better for it. Instead she spent her morning finding out who she could force to do it for her. Nothing got done and she's still going to have to do it.
