I go to the grocery store a lot. Probably two to three times per week which I do because I shop sales and stuff like bread, fresh veggies and fruits don’t seem to last as long in this humid climate. I don’t really like going to the grocery or any store for that matter. Let me put it this way, I’d much rather stick my foot in a bear trap and gnaw my foot off.
I had a total of seven items and was in the 14 or less line. The woman in front me had a bill of six dollars and 47 cents. She gave the cashier a twenty and said those words that will make me want to slap a puppy, “I’ve got the 47 cents”.
I am not kidding when I say that it took close to five minutes for her to find her change purse, put it on the counter and count of 47 cents in nickels and pennies.
You’ve got to be f’n kidding me. It’s a flippin grocery store, they have all the change they need .
To further make me want to stab myself in the eye with a spoon. She says I’m sorry. Here’s a note from the clue farm. If you are doing something of your own free will and know it’s annoying ,your not sorry, your self-absorbed and rude and feel free to stick your apology where the sun doesn’t shine.
It’s not just the same change people that butters my toast, it’s also the people who treat the card swiper as some sort of alien object that they’ve never encountered before.
Here’s another shopping thing that warps my soul. Perfectly healthy people who cruise around the store humped over their carts like they want to mate with it. Stand the f’k up.
How about women (or fat guys wearing fanny packs) who have to make sure that everything is put back in it’s proper place in their purse or pack while holding up the lines . Shouldn’t you be able to slap them?
And, it’s no better in the parking lot. As I’ve mentioned before, in Flori-duh a parking lot is THE most dangerous place to drive. That aside, might it possible for people not to walk down the exact middle of the row or how about just walking a straight line coming out of the store instead of that diagonal, let me be as much of a pain in the ass move. Remember morons, the shortest distance between two points.
As long as I’m ranting, he’s a few more things that scramble my brain.
My mother does this and it makes my elbows cringe. It’s what I would call “attitude voices”. When she’s telling me of one of her great confrontations she uses an extremely annoying voice to explain what the other person says. It makes me want to sit naked in a bucket of glass.
People who say they are suing for x amount of millions “ so other people won’t have to go through what I went through”. Just admit that you saw a get rich quick scheme and took it
Those who don’t tip.
Political correctness. I think that everyone, regardless of race, creed , color, ethnic background, job description, hair color and on and on are entered into the comedy gene pool.. There are certain words that never can be said and we all know what they are but are words like stupid, fat, old, or short any less hurtful to the person they are being directed at.
Sports for kids in which the score isn’t kept. Somewhere along the line someone’s going to win and someone’s going to lose. Life ain’t fair, that’s why we have meds. Somebody gets picked last. Get used to it and work to not be that person.
The “coulda” people. Those who tie themselves to an event because “they coulda been there” or it “coulda been them”.
This news story really waxed my legs. There were a series of car break-ins recently in a “nice” neighborhood here in Florida. The one thing the robberies had in common were that all of the cars were unlocked.
They were interviewing one of the victims. She was horrified because her children sleep in the house by the driveway and further more she couldn’t lock her car up because she had to get the child inside and just could not lock the door of her Range Rover while carrying a child.
Wrapping up these somewhat mean spirited post, it’s the people who can’t take responsibility for their actions or can’t fathom that sometimes bad stuff just happens.
There was a very sad story down here about a child who slipped and fell in front of a car. A tragedy for sure. Now the parents want to sue the city because they maintain it’s the road’s fault. This incident was the first in the 40 plus years that the road had been there. It happened at a school bus stop which had been there for years also.
Some days I just wish I’d stayed on my own planet
