Sometimes Silence Really Is Golden

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

We have all complained about the rude cashier who barely acknowledges our presence, right? Today I had quite the opposite at Office Max. This man would not shut his freakin’ pie hole. It because extremely obnoxious I just wanted to exchange my portfolio thing and it took forever!

I handed him my stuff and my receipt, told him I wanted to return X and get Y. He proceeds to return my item, never did an exchange, just returned it kind of thing. When he hit the button to credit my card, he says, “Now we just have to wait forever while it finds you card in a national database containing a billion numbers!” and he sort of chuckled to himself. Yeah, I do not give a shit and it was not funny. THEN he says I’m done. I told him I wanted to purchase Y. He rings it up. While doing so, he comments on how much he LOVES the Combos I am purchasing. How obnoxious is that? I scan my card and he asks me to hand him my card. Fine. He said, “Sign there and we’ll see how you do, Tracy.” Guess what, Pal we are not friends and I feel extremely uncomfortable when people like that call me by my first name. Now, I know they teach you that because it makes a person feel all special. Not me, I HATE it, and it makes me uncomfortable. I mean, there are appropriate places to use a person’s name, but Office Max is not one of them. At least that is my opinion. I sign and he says, “Well that’s one way to shorten it up, but it does match.” All I could think was, dude, you are an asshole and I bet you have no friends. So I don’t write every single letter of my last name out when signing. Get. Over. It. Do not comment, just compare the signatures and be done!!

After that transaction, I decided that it really is not all that bad when the cashier is quiet and gives you a smile and a thank you. Really, that is all I need. No other chit chat is necessary. It is called reading your customer! Some like to chat and others…not so much. I was not in the mood and if he had a clue, he would have picked up on that.

Five Things I Hope To Never See Again

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

5.) Overweight, drunk, extremely burnt people from the UK at the beach. These people consumed more than enough alcohol for 3x the number of people in their group. Best part, they had children with them. They were not wearing their swimsuits properly and had awful cornrows in their hair. I actually felt bad because I can only imagine the pain they were going to be in later that night. They were ALL bright red on the beach and we all know what that means. OUCH!!

4.) A grown woman with her face painted. Yeah. She had peacock eyes or whatever with glitter painted on her face. Her young daughters did not even have that much painted on their faces.

3 .) A child get off the train and vomit all over the platform.

2.) A child, roughly 7 or8 with a body harness on. Seriously, if you have not learned to control your child by this age, you should give them to someone else. C’mon!! Those leashes are for toddlers, not 3rd graders.

1.) A thong on an overweight woman wearing white sweat pants. I know she was all about comfort for the flight, but white? What was she thinking? Oh and we got to over hear all kinds of interesting conversation with her and her child. She was telling her 5-6 yr. old that there are “Many choices we have to make in life..” because the little girl walked off. Seriously, she is a CHILD maybe you should be guiding her choices at that age.

High Five for the Bloggers

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

Here are the top 5 reasons to blog.

5.) To express your feelings and opinions about events in your life and the world around you

4.) You like to write

3.) Piss people off

2.) Make people aware of what is going on

1.) Entertainment!!

Hello people, if you don’t like what you read on someone’s blog, don’t read it! If you think they are negative, cynical, etc. Guess what?  You have the choice rather or not you want to view that site. Everyone expresses their views differently and if you think said person is poking fun of everyone else to feel better, STOP READING THEIR BLOG!! Believe it or not, some people are completely happy with their life, but like poking fun of people purely for entertainment. Not because they are insecure or whatever, but because it is FUNNY!! Oh and people like to read that stuff. It is like the train wreck you cannot stop staring at. You know you should not look, but cannot help but look.

I also find it funny that the people reading and enjoying themselves are also passing judgment on the person who wrote it. Aren’t you just as guilty if you keep reading? For crying out loud, go find a blog about rainbows and butterflies if you do not like it!

High Five….BITCH!!
