No vacancy ….
My tolerance for douche-baggery and general dumbassedness in general seems to have become almost non-existent these days. I’m not sure if it’s “grief stress” or just life in general that’s making me that way, I just know me, and my fuse these days ? Shorter than Gary Coleman.
Bullet-List example …..
- I overheard a woman in the store bitching about her C-PAP machine and how uncomfortable it was, and she just couldn’t figure out how her breathing could effect her sleep…..while she was buying CIGARETTES. I felt like jamming them up her ass and setting a lighter to her nostrils.
- A woman leaving Target with her small son in 38 degree weather, telling him it was his fault he was cold because he was “Mr. I won’t wear a jacket.” Hey MOM ? MOM = you are the PARENT. Make him wear one. Or do us a favor and don’t breed again. Break even on the gene pool please.
- A woman in front of me who threw a McDonalds cup out the window at a red light, while her two kids watched from the back seat. I got out, picked up the cup, and politely as I could told her to keep her trash to herself when I felt like slapping her dumb ass. Instead I told her I was reporting her to DHR for being an unfit parent. Chew on that with your Big Mac, biatch.
- I spent 15 minutes in Belk at The Summit last night looking at clothes while the sales clerk hung up new stock whilst chatting away on her cell phone. I was looking for something in particular and not once did she acknowledge my presence. I took my purchases downstairs to customer service where I paid and asked them to explain to her what that term means and to tell her to tell Kesha that I hope that rash clears up.
- If you’re still going to write a freaking check at Publix – please for the love of all that is good have your ID in your hand with your check ! Don’t send your child out to the car to get it out of the cup holder while I’m behind you or next time, I may be using your anus as a corkscrew for that pinot noir I was trying to buy.
- People that cannot make a simple decision without checking in via phone with their significant other for every.single.detail. Who dials for you when you need to see if it’s ok to wipe your ass ?
- The media. Must we blow EVERY single thing that happens across the world into OMG IT’S A TRAGEDY AND WE MUST ALL EMPTY OUR BANK ACCOUNTS? I love a good drama but I usually only like to see Geraldo once or twice a week.
- Methodist’s (or anyone claiming to be a “good christian” ) in self-righteous, lying, money grubbing sheep’s clothing. Yes, I mean you. And the rest of your family. Hypocritical asshats, all of you. But please, keep reading! I have much more to say to you.
So that’s what’s lighting my fuse today. I honestly think it’s a combination of stress, worry, the upcoming death-a-versary and just life in general. Maybe once my two spring breaks arrive and I get a change of scenery I’ll have a change of attitude. Until then, to quote Jack Nicholson in one of my favorite movies evah , ”Sell crazy someplace else, we’re all stocked up here.”












Yes- the gene pool could use a little more Chlorine.
I really like your list. UGH all the way around.
Oh my gosh, I love this list!! I’m hoping spring will help my blahs too.
This particular blog is full of AWESOME. I think we all kind of go thru this realization, the “are you fucking KIDDING ME” dawn of awareness (or at least I did!!) when I hit 40. I’m much happier now, knowing that I don’t have to tolerate all the crap.
Yay, you!!
Tho I think Kesha may be in trouble with that rash.
Great list. I have one. I’m sitting at the shop today while my dad is out on a job. A customer comes in and wants to look at samples. No problem there. Then she wants a price. Well, the price depends on what she picks out and I can’t give her one anyway if she’s going through a cabinet shop because they’ll be the ones charging her. I explained to her 3 times the difference between marble and granite…..she still didn’t get it. She said to me, “Don’t you even know how much this stuff costs?” I said, “Yes, maam, I do, but I can’t give a price without knowing how big your cabinet is.” Then she starts in on her kitchen and I tell her we don’t do kitchen counters, only bathrooms and gave her the name of the shop in town that does kitchens. About that time my dad came back to pick up something he’d forgotten. One of the first things out of her mouth was, “Now, about my kitchen……” Dumbass!!!
On a positive note, at P.F. Changs the other night the waitress was so good, we made it a point to talk to the manager and let him know.
Your list sounds like mine on any given day. I’ve even gone so far as to find a senior manager to complain about floor clerks.
And people on the phone wandering around the grocery store absolutely chap my ass — particularly when they run into me because they are trying to walk and talk at the same time.
Ooooh, and what about when they walk down every isle chattering away on a bluetooth because they don’t know what to buy. Make a damn list and quit talking to yourself. You look like an idiot.
