I am constantly reminded that people are weird and/or morons every day. Here’s some examples I encountered recently.
In line for 15 minutes at the post office because the stamps aren’t dispensing correctly. A manager type fixes it finally and asks the guy what stamps he would like, Rudolph or Winter Fun? He is stumped and then takes a full 12 seconds to decide. 1) It doesn’t matter. 2) You couldn’t decide in the 15 minutes of smelling BO only slightly trapped by winter coats? 3) It doesn’t matter. 4) IT DOESN’T MATTER YOU SCUMBAG. GRAB YOUR DAMN STAMPS BEFORE…and now everyone’s staring at me because I’m muttering to myself. Yes, I’m the problem.
I was running and saw a vandal had spray painted “Go Vegan!” on the back of a road closed sign. First off, you can’t normally see the back of a road closed sign, so the placement sucks. Second, what a rebel you are. “I’ll show everyone I don’t care about the law!…but I care immensely about animal rights and nutrition, let’s not go crazy here.”
I was behind someone at the grocery store that split their items into two separate orders. Annoyed, I switched lines. The lady in the other line was shoving change into the self checkout, about a nickel at a time. I switched back, only to discover the guy was writing a check. He wasn’t even 100 – plus I didn’t think guys knew how to write checks. Of course, nickel lady finished first, so I jumped lines again to another person who had finished. He then took five minutes to bag individual veggies one at a time and of course, check guy with two orders finished, screwing me yet again. I’m looking into online groceries from now on.
