SHOPPING CARTS

ARE YOU THAT F'N LAZY THAT YOU CAN'T WALK YOUR ASS 100 FEET AND PUT THE SHOPPING CART IN THE CART CORRAL? I SEE PEOPLE DO IT ALL THE TIME, PUT THEIR GROCERIES IN THEIR CAR AND LOOK AROUND TO MAKE SURE NOBODY'S LOOKING I GUESS. THEN THEY PUSH THE CART UP IN FRONT OF THEIR CAR AND GET IN AND DRIVE AWAY. OR THEY'LL PUSH IT AROUND TO THE OTHER SIDE AND MAYBE UP ONTO ONE OF THE GRASSY MEDIANS THAT ARE IN SOME PARKING LOTS. WELL, WHAT I SAW THE OTHER DAY TOPS THEM ALL. I WAS SITTING IN THE CAR WAITING ON MY WIFE, WATCHING A LADY PUT A FEW BAGS OF GROCERIES IN HER CAR. SHE THEN LOOKED AROUND AND LEFT THE CART RIGHT BETWEEN HER CAR AND THE ONE BESIDE HER, NOT IN FRONT BUT RIGHT BESIDE IT. WELL, THE KICKER IS, SHE WAS PARKED RIGHT BESIDE A CART CORRAL. THIS LAZY BITCH COULDN'T WALK AROUND TO THE OTHER SIDE OF HER CAR AND PUT THE CART AWAY WHERE IT WOULDN'T ROLL OUT IN THE LOT OR INTO SOMEONE ELSES CAR. LAZIEST THING I'VE SEEN IN QUITE SOME TIME!

F#@$ THE MOVIES!

THAT'S RIGHT, ONE OF THE THINGS MY WIFE AND I LOVE THE MOST, IS GETTING READY TO GO ON THE BACK BURNER. WELL, I SHOULDN'T SAY THAT, WE HAVE DECIDED THAT WE WILL NEVER GO TO THE MOVIES ON A WEEKEND AGAIN. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE HOW F'N RUDE PEOPLE ARE AND THE FACT THAT THEY SPEND THE KIND OF MONEY THEY DO AND AREN'T THERE TO ENJOY THE MOVIE. WE WENT TO SEE WOLFMAN ON OPENING WEEKEND, OBVIOUSLY A MISTAKE. LOTS OF PEOPLE IN THE THEATER BUT SOMETIMES THAT MAKES THE MOVIE MORE FUN......UNLESS THE PEOPLE SITTING RIGHT BEHIND YOU ARE ASSHOLES!!! IT WASN'T BAD ENOUGH THAT THEY WERE TALKING AND COMMENTING ON EVERY SCENE, BUT THEN THEY DECIDED TO EAT LIKE PIGS. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY WERE EATING BUT IT SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE EATING FRIED CHICKEN AND LICKING THEIR F'N FINGERS LIKE THERE WAS NO TOMORROW. AS USUAL THE BACKWARD GLANCES DIDN'T WORK, WHAT CAN YOU DO, IT DOESN'T DO ANY GOOD TO MAKE A SCENE WITH THOSE KIND OF PEOPLE, AND OF COURSE NOBODY ELSE SITTING AROUND THEM EVER SAYS ANYTHING. SO WE DID WHAT WE ALWAYS DO AND MOVED. IT JUST AMAZES ME THAT NOBODY AROUND ANY OF THESE RUDE PEOPLE EVER SAY ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR US AND IT NEVER DOES ANY GOOD. WE MOVED UP ABOUT 6 ROWS AND THEY NEVER STOPPED "PIGGING OUT" , WE COULD STILL HEAR THEM BUT NOT AS BAD AS EVERYBODY ELSE AROUND THEM. OUR NEW SEAT WASN'T MUCH BETTER THOUGH, SOME MORON HAD HIS 6 YEAR OLD SON IN THERE ( RATED R FOR VIOLENCE, BLOOD AND GORE) WOW A 6 YEAR OLD KID WHO'S SCARED TO DEATH........
SO FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES WE HAD TO LISTEN TO THIS IDIOT TRY AND CONVINCE HIS SON THAT IS WASN'T REAL, AND THEN THEY FINALLY LEFT. TO TOP IT ALL OFF, NEAR THE END OF THE MOVIE, DURING A SCENE WHERE THE DIALOGUE WAS IMPORTANT, THE ASSHOLE BESIDE US HAD HIS WATCH ALARM GO OFF. SO INSTEAD OF PUSHING THE BUTTON TO SILENCE IT, HE LET THAT SON-OF-BITCH CHIME FOR 1 STRAIGHT MINUTE. LOUD AS SHIT, DIDN'T PHASE HIM AND HE DIDN'T EVEN REACT TO IT. UN-F'N-BELIEVABLE!!!!! SO WE WILL NOT GO TO THE MOVIES AGAIN ON ANOTHER WEEKEND.......WE ACTUALLY DID GO TO THE MOVIES ON FRIDAY AT NOON TIME AND IT WAS NICE, ABOUT A DOZEN PEOPLE, ALL SPREAD OUT, NO TALKING, AWESOME!!!

DINNER AND A MOVIE

This is something my wife and I enjoy doing on a regular basis. Going to dinner and then catching a movie or vice a versa. Since we both despise people, we try and go at odd times when there will be less of them. So we usually hit the twilight show at the local theater and we try and eat sometime before 5:00 p.m. Those are the optimum time to avoid as many people as we can. But evidently, stupid people must think like we do. We went to see "The Lovely Bones" the other day at the first showing (2:00), hoping we would be the only people in the theater. That wish almost came true, until the previews started. And wouldn't you know it, they sat right behind us. Of all the hundreds of seats in the stupid movie theater, why would you sit near somebody else? Maybe they'll stop talking when the movie starts, we whispered to each other. And maybe they'll stop kicking the back of my seat when they get situated. And finally, maybe they'll stop chewing their popcorn like PIGS! Finally my wife said she wanted to move. So we got up, glanced back at the idiots and walked a few rows up and over. Once again, they won, what can you do?
After the movie we were starving, so we decided to go eat at Ruby Tuesdays, we had a gift card and they have a pretty good salad bar. As we hoped, 4:15 rewarded us with a mostly empty restaurant. The salad was good and the bison burger had just been set in front of me, then stupid happened. I don't understand why the idiots think it's ok to sweep and vacuum around your table while you're trying to enjoy your meal. So, she's got her little vacuum sweeper and she's all under the table beside us, and then behind us, and then under my seat. Bam, she hit my chair, bam, she hit my chair again, holy shit, five times she bumped my chair with that stupid thing. WHAT THE F!!!!!! I can't figure out why people don't see things the way I do. People can't be that f'n stupid, but they constantly prove me wrong.

GROCERY STORE EXPRESS LINES

I know it's 4:00 in the afternoon on Sunday. And yes the NFL playoff game is getting ready to start. But I only need 3 things and I'll run through the express line. You know, 12 items or less.....WHATEVER!!!! That's right, I had some beer and a gift card and sure enough all the other lines are packed so I'm just gonna run through the express line; just as many people but alot less items. I always like to count the beeps. That way I'll know that everybody is following the 12 items or less rule. Two people in front of me I hear the 12th beep, right on the dot. Then I hear another and another, holy mackerel, "I guess they're too good to stand in the line made for them" I mumble to myself. I count a total of 25 beeps in all and I let out an audible sigh. I don't really care about the game, I'm not in a hurry or anything, the Chiefs aren't playing, I just hate people that think they don't have to follow the rules. I peek into the guy's basket in front of me and wouldn't you know it, I count 13 items, and that's only the ones I can really see. I'm thinking to myself, "I know this sonofabitch just heard me bitching about the guy in front of him, I guess he doesn't give a shit either". What can I do other than just stand there and shake my head? So that's what I do. I guess eventually I'll get my turn and sure it's probably still quicker than standing in the other lines but it just pisses me off that some people are above the rules!

WALMART OR IHOP?

IHOP FIRST
My wife and I had some errands to run yesterday so we headed out early and decided to get some breakfast. I got a gift card for IHOP as a christmas gift so we decided to use it. I don't know about you all but in my experiences at IHOPs, they have some weird people working in them. My wife says they're "lifers", I guess like the military. She says it's a special breed to work in a restaurant that serves breakfast. I don't know, I just call them weirdos. But anyway, sure enough, our waitress was a weirdo. She seemed nice enough but she talked real loud and had a weird accent, she was "too" nice. The other waitress in our section was also a loud talker, I think they were competing with each other. So anyway, we're sitting there enjoying our coffee waiting on our breakfast plates and "bam", something smashes into the glass divider between our booth and the one beside us. It scared the hell out of us both. It was a child who decided to bang his fork on the glass as hard as he could. Did he stop? Nooooo! Did the parent tell him no? Nooooo! So he banged a few times and luckily the fork flew out of his hand. What happened next? He reached down and grabbed the spoon. Yep, unbelievable!! I'm not sure if it was just time for them to leave or the fact that my wife said, "are you kidding me?!" but they got up and left. It was like they were the only people in the restaurant.

WALMART NEXT
From there we headed to Walmart to pick up a few groceries and see if they had any christmas wrapping paper left for 75% off. We spent about an hour or so shopping and then headed to the registers. It wasn't too bad, it wasn't the first of the month or after dinner or anything like that. Everything was cool until it was our turn to pay. We became them, we had a ton of coupons to go with the groceries that we had. It was going fine until the cashier got to the ones that were BOGO. She then had to go back through the long ass receipt to find each item. Well inevitably the line was growing longer behind us and of course they were all getting antsy, like we all would. The one thing I can say though, is that the cashier never got flustered, never gave us an attitude and was very nice the whole time.
Another disappointing outing, who would have thought that the better experience would have been at Walmart. I have faith though, that's a rare thing, good experience at Walmart!

WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT

Last night I had high hopes that I would encounter some stupid or rude people. My wife and I had an evening planned with my parents to go out to eat and then attend Legally Blond (the musical). The night started out promising when we almost got run off the road getting onto the interstate on the way to the event. We arrived at the parking garage, parked and then walked to a mexican restaurant to eat dinner. Surely the service would suck or the food would be bad or something. I was wrong, the service was good and the food was quite tasty. The closest we came to something going wrong was when one of the waiters brought out something we didn't recognize. So we asked him what it was, with his non-response and weird looks, it was quite obvious that he could not speak a bit of english. It was actually quite funny, the four of us taking turns asking him in different ways what the dish was. We probably sounded more retarded or stupid to him. Finally our real waiter came over and straightened it out. We finished eating and made our way back to the hall to enjoy the play. The 4 seats that we bought were not together, there was 2 in between them. When the other couple (who we didn't know) showed up for their seats we had decided to ask them if they would switch with us so we could all 4 sit together. Amazingly, they were more than willing to do this, the evening couldn't be any better! The show was fantastic! Now I had one more chance to find someone rude, the parking garage. We made it to our vehicle and waited patiently to be let out into the line of traffic. Wow, we got right out. It took approximately 15 to 20 minutes to make it out of the garage but that was due to the fact that everyone was letting people into the line. This was probably one of the more enjoyable evenings that I have spent out with people in quite some time. I was disappointed but very relieved, maybe I should have more faith in people.......but I don't.

I'M FED UP BUT WHAT CAN I DO?

Over the past few years I have decided that I pretty much can't stand to be around most people because I find them rude and inconsiderate. This goes for driving, eating out, attending sporting events, going to the movies, shopping, and just about anything else that I do around people. I decided awhile back that maybe I should jump on the blogging bandwagon and put my thoughts out there and maybe it would make me feel better. I personally pride myself in being courteous and considerate when I am around other people and have tried to convey that to my kids. Evidently, I am one of the only people who does. I am going to spend the year of 2010 documenting all of the stupid, rude and inconsiderate people that I come across. So enjoy!
