I Hate People!

Sometimes they really, really suck.

Take, for example, my lunch-hour errand to Longs. I got in line with the birthday card and jar of peanuts I was buying, just standing there perusing Newsweek's article on DNA ancestry, when this friggin' lady rolls up and rams her cart into my hip. I give her a rude look, then move over, as that's apparently what she was trying to get me to do, and put my stuff on the conveyor belt thingy. What does she do? Takes the ONE item out of her cart (that's right, all that was in there was a bar of cleaning soap...don't overdo it there, Jane Fonda) and throws it onto the belt with my stuff. Of course, the cashier then thinks the bar of soap is mine and starts ringing it up before I shake my head NOOOO...IT'S THAT FREAKIN' GOAT-ASS LADY'S NEXT TO ME...SHE NEEDED A WHOLE CART TO TOTE IT UP HERE...HELLO, AN ENTIRE CART! Then, as I'm paying, the lady starts crowding me, inching over more and more until I'm standing like a foot from the ATM pinpad thing, waiting for my receipt, staring fire and brimstone at this...$#(*!...woman...$#@*)(! WHAT FUCKING PLANET ARE YOU FROM?!

#@()$(*&(*!!!!!

Then I get back to the office and one of the reporters tells me there's an angry reader up front wanting to complain about the lack of coverage of "The Music Man" or some such, which we already bleeping covered, and which then became the responsibility of an entirely separate section of the paper to cover..but no, the crabby bitch lady doesn't read that section, she says, because it's "not perfectly folded down the middle." So she tosses that section aside every day. UM...HELLO. Also, she said it was the first play she's seen that's used children of all ages, including "black children" and a "girl in a wheelchair with a cute bow in her hair." This, she claimed, must be a new era of "acceptance." Where have you been, Oldasaurus Rex? She also had the nerve to say when I walked up, "Since you're so much younger than me, I won't stand up."

Run, people! Run far, far away from any jobs that deal with the public! Save yourselves!!!!

Frey commented: you know, it's interesting. I just blogged about this type of thing just the other day. I'm so fed up with people sometimes it makes me want to snap. running the theatre out there definitely made me lose a lot of faith in society. I guess it's a good thing that I have that little "thing" inside me that keeps me from breaking the face of every person who pisses me off. GGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAahHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
