Have you ever stumbled across some chump who can't tell red from orange? I have. In fact, they seem to gravitate toward me, most likely because the universe knows people that can't tell red from orange annoy the s**t out of me. If you're color blind, The Gripe Guy gets it. But if you're not, maybe you should go back to pre-school for a refresher course on the color wheel.

What I wouldn't give for a sock full of nickles the next time I come across one of these people.
