RE: Get Paid to Rant #15! All Rants Win! Plus 5 SBD Grand Prize
Yeah, I could rant for a bit, about oh so many things but for the moment I will limit it to this to just one.
Self-important sleepwalkers.
I am just so smegging tired of people who sleepwalk through life with this self-involved assumption that they are THE only living thing using the road, walking the grocery store aisle, standing in line, sitting in the waiting room, dragging their bag onto the airplane. HELLO! You're not the only person occupying this planet, you blinkered fuckwit! And not only do you walk straight past the 7 people at the "form one line here" sign at the bank, but then you have the audacity to act like it's the end of civilization as we know it when someone points out where the end of the line is... and even WITH this information, you still have the nerve to try a "I just need to do one quick thing..." wiggle-around, you self-important twat! Who the hell died and appointed YOU Queen of the Universe? In fact... I was just AT the center of the Universe and I did NOT see you there! So just SMEG OFF and get off my planet!!!
(and yes, I am a Red Dwarf fan...)
Oh, but I only have two things, can I go before you, yeah right and then its the cashier calling the produce department, asking for a manager, because the check out girl has no fricken clue what kind of fruit or veggie the customer just bought, and then the produce manager has no clue either so he has to walk back to the far end of the store where the produce is kept, find the fruit, walk all the way back to the cashier, tell her a number to type in, then that number does not come up, so they call the guy that is supposed to enter all the numbers right, have him fix the number, because no one has ever bought that funny looking piece of fruit before now. So now she gets her two things rung up, the cashier says to insert her card in the new card reader, total price of purchase $6.23 and then you hear - "I'm sorry ma'am your card was declined, did you have another card you'd like to try", and then the song and dance of no money to pay for the two items, so now she is digging through her purse looking for real money, comes up $1.33 short, turns to you and ask if you can help her out. Yeah right. Been there done that and You get my vote.
