I hate...

Sunday, May 30, 2004

I work at a bookstore, and there are many things that drive me nuts there.
I hate when people bring up a basket full of items, and then tell you not to start ringing them up because they want to know how much everything costs. As if the prices aren't on the back of the stuff. Also, I hate when people just insist on there being a discount. "Is there a discount?" No, I'm sorry, the free discount days are only on the 38th of each month, moron. As if we're supposed to just hand out discounts cuz we feel like it. We have these perks cards, which are pretty much a punch card you try to fill up to earn a shopping spree discount. You get one punch when you spend anything, and two if you spend 50 bucks; no more than two punches a day though. I hate when I hand back the card to people and they say, "I only get one punch for all this stuff?" And I have to carefully explain to them that they only get one punch for under 50 dollars worth of stuff, then they'll respond, "it's not per item?" or "but I'm spending so much I deserve more" or etc. First off, if it was by item, everyone would fill their card up in a week at the most, many people in one day. Also, 35 dollars isn't a lot of money. Now yes, I too am a poor college student who wouldn't spend 35 dollars freely all the time, but compared to the multitude of people who come in spending over 100 dollars at one time, 35 dollars is nothing. And guess what, those people only get two punches themselves. I hate people that just want everything handed to them. STOP BEING SO CHEAP!! I hate people who will be in our store at 8:55, I'll go to them and ask if they need help then inform them that we're closing at 9, and then these people will continue to shop until 9:05. In other words, when I said we close at 9, they heard, "You have 5 minutes to stop browsing and then start making up your mind, and check out whenever you feel like it after 9." Selfish, selfish people. I feel bad running into a store that closes in 15 minutes because I think I look bad doing it. I don't know how these people feel ok sitting there til after 9 when I give them at least a 5 minute warning. I can't stand that.

There is a lot more, and I'm sure I'll have another rant post like this one. Thank you for listening to a young old man.

I hate mayonaise. It's the most vile substance every created. I don't understand how anyone can like this stuff. It's nasty. I don't put it on my sandwiches and people always say, "how can you eat a sandwich like that?" And I say, "How can you eat a sandwich with vommit cream on it?" It's disgusting. I think it's funny also how people will tell me to try miricle whip, because "It tastes better than mayonaise." OK maybe, but to know that, you'd have to like mayonaise in the first place to compare it to miracle whip. They're both the same type of taste, and that type is repulsive. Then there is people who just eat mayonaise sandwiches. In other words, two slices of bread, and enough mayonaise to fill in between...

Excuse me, I just threw up. Anyways, if you like mayonaise, you're entitled to your opinion. However, you have been manipulated some how into believing that it's good, cuz it's not. It's gross. Seriously... gross.

I hate the yankees!

So the other day, I'm in class minding my own business, not paying attention to the teacher as usual, and I noticed something repugnant. I look at the back of the gentleman sitting in front of me, to notice the brilliance of his T-Shirt. It was advertising a social gathering of a local brotherhood of friends, sometimes referred to as a fraternity. They were to meet at a local pub in the area. The bottom of the shirt had so clever a pun, I feel compelled to share it with you all. It said, and I quote, “18 to cum, 21 to swallow.” Oh it is so delightful the way fraternity and sorority members strive for humor on their outerwear. Not to mention how I can’t get rid of the giggles whenever I happen to view a shirt advertising a Luau party by the phrase, “Wanna get leid?” Oh it cracks me up every time. I don’t know why anyone would question a fraternity or sorority’s maturity level after seeing how much thought they put into their weekly t-shirts. Also, the rumor about them only being there for alcohol and sex is a horrible assumption. So if you’ll excuse me, I must find a fraternity or sorority social, a gathering of intelligent beings who donate to charity and are set up to achieve greater holds on life… oh and also, where people enjoy getting leid from time to time.

Hello, and welcome to my blog. I decided that I needed a way to get out a lot of the anger that resides in me. I thought this might be a good way to do it, considering I could let my friends read it too. Now, let me give a disclaimer. I use the word hate very freely. I strongly belive the Bible instructs me not to hate others, so I will try very hard not to use hate on individuals. However, I wil choose to use hate for certain situations, events, groups, and so on. So with that said, I'll start off the first one.

I hate holidays where the only reason for having it is to get drunk. Yes, I'm reffering to Cinco de Mayo, or in other words, May fifth. Yeah that's right, the fifth day of may is declared a holiday to where it is required by all to find their nearest mexican restaurant, bar, etc. in order to become drunk out of their minds. The day is a holiday to celebrate Mexico's freedom from France. What does that have to do with immense drinking? Oh wait, I get it, we're supposed to remember the past, but it's too painful so we should just drink ourselves into a happy state so that we forget the horrible oppression of the Mexican nation. That didn't make sense did it? Well neither does the holiday. I am all for having a day where we celebrate Mexico's resistance to France, because no doubt France wanted to move into America as well. I do not think it should be an American holiday though. Mainly because the only people pushing for it are the mass of college students who just want to be able to not have to work all day, taking away their precious time that they could be spending wasting their life away on the magical substance called alcohol. This also leads me to St. Patrick's day, the day to celebrate the Saint who went back to the land that captured him in order to spread the news of salvation. Someone must have thought, "Hey, maybe we can turn this into a drinking day too!" Then you can see the guinness beer commercial guys saying, "Brilliant! we can get drunk for a missionary. Brilliant!" I don't know about you, but I love those guys. The brilliant is pretty funny.
