Things That Are Just Wrong...

As part of the "Keep America Beautiful" campaign, a website has been put up for people to list things that, like littering, are just wrong:

I first found out about the site when I was riding a local shuttle bus and there was a public service ad giving the site's address and showing an example of something just wrong: "Texting while in surgery" (The ad showed a picture of a doctor's hand texting on a cell phone the message "OMG!! BRB!") Some of the items listed are rather amusing and some are just strange Anyway, I thought some of you might want to see it and maybe post some ideas of your own of things that are just wrong.

BTW, one of the wrongs listed is slapping a nun, which I did in 8th grade, but I have to point out it was in self defense: the nun was scolding me for my latest infraction and I had sort of zoned out and was not listening to her. She became even more angry and raised her hand to slap me. I absentmindedly saw the hand coming down out of the corner of my eye and instinctively ducked and, having lived through a few schoolyard fights, also instinctively counterpunched, landing a rather solid blow. I immediately realised what I had done and prepared for the worst. The nun just looked at me with a stunned expression and sent back to my ckassroom. I spent the rest of the day waiting for the consequences but never heard a word about the matter again. I think the nun may have been embarassed about being struck by a student and chose not to admit it ever happened. My actual greater concern was the possibility of a lightning bolt striking me down in divine retribution (and I am still waiting)...
