So today, I'm working at the bookstore and added two more people to my hate list.
*Person one*
This lady is finishing buying something. She's on the cell phone the whole time. I hate that. Get off your phone! No one wants to sit here and listen to you talk about what you all are doing for dinner or what church was like this morning or little bobby's game this afternoon. Anyways, she's on the phone with her friend or what not, and my friend puts her stuff in the bag. Then the lady says, "I need another bag that you can't see through, this is for her birthday and she's out there in the car." First thing about that I hate, is the way she asked. It's not a horrible thing to ask. It's very understandable that you want a bag to hide the stuff from your friend. But you don't have to demand it. You can ask nicely. Don't say, "I need..." ever. It's never called for. Why don't customers ever ask for stuff instead of demand it, assuming we can give them whatever they require? Second thing that made me hate this person was what she did next. Right there, in front of me and my friend who were working then, she says into her cell phone, "yeah the guy gave me a paper thin bag that she could see right through. (pause) Yeah I know (laugh)" UGHHH!!! Who do you think you are?!! "The Guy" "Yeah I know" at least wait until you get out of the store to make yourself feel better by insulting a bookstore employee who didn't do anything wrong in the first place. Man I hate that lady now.
*Person 2*
This lady comes in looking for parallel bibles. Now, parallel bibles are Bibles with usually 2 translations in them, or sometimes 4. They are side by side so you can read along in two different ones if you want. I find the one she is looking for, then she says, "Oh is this large print?" "No, I don't think they make it in large print," I reply. "It would take up too many pages to make it large print as well as fit the multiple translations, so I don't think they do it." She seems to not be paying attention and then picks up the 4 translation one and says, "What's this one?" "It's got 4 translations in it, instead of just 2." She then says, "Oh... but is it large print?" She goes on to ask me 3 more times if any of them are large print, and I go on to say 3 more times that they do not make it in large print. I hate people who ask for your help but then aren't even listening. That has to be the explanation, either that or aliens visited her the night before and sucked out her brains, replacing it with spam.

I really love going to the movies, but there is lots of stuff about that I hate. I hate people who buy food, mainly loud food. Now, so you know, I buy a coke every time I go, but that's because I have a condition that cannot be healed. Back to what I was saying, I hate food eaters during the movie. They seem to find the most silent parts of the film to dig through their bag of popcorn, and munch very loudly on them. If you're going to buy food and eat it, at least wait until the parts where there's lots of action or loud music playing to cover up your annoying chewing. Then there are the people who like to repeat everything they hear. As if it's so funny it made them repeat it aloud as a parrot would. SHUT UP!! It was funny on screen, but you don't have to repeat it. I heard it the first time, moron! I really can't stand the people who think it's like Mystery Science theater (great show by the way). They feel better about themselves if they can point out something obvious about to happen to the main character, or make a witty comment.. excuse me, I should not use wit unless it is intelligent, so I will rewrite that sentence with better diction.. or make a 'dumb as freaking crap on a stick' comment about what the characters should do to entertain their near brain dead minds. You're not funny, please shut your mouth immediately, before I wig out and beat you with your overpriced box of snowcaps that you just had to buy and continuously shake to get them in your hand, and eat one at a time, throughout the entire movie. I hate you!
