Random Thoughts Part XI

1. I am going to begin with a story that happened to me today. I am at the mall, and I decide just to grab lunch in the food court. I decide to try this new Japanese Grill. Bad idea. My Mom had given me a $50 to go buy my food, so I go to the place and order. They ask for money, and I reach into my pocket hand them the bills and zone out as I usually do. I come back to reality with some angry Japanese man yelling fragmented English at me. He claims that I only gave him two dollars. We then begin an arguing match of me saying he stole my $50, and he saying that I only gave him two. He then calls his associates over to show them that I only gave them too. Yes stupid man, I know that you only have two dollars in your hand, but you stole my $50 and are trying to cover it up with these two dollars. Eventually the man calls security over because I was causing such a fuss. We explain the situation, and I decide to put my hands into my coat pocket. It was then that I pulled out my $50 and realized what a complete fool I was. Long story short, the damn Japs refused to serve me. FML.

2. I cannot stand warm drinks. There are certain drinks that were meant to be warm, i.e. coffee, tea, hot chocolate, etc. Coke, water, juice...THESE ARE NOT MEANT TO BE WARM. I judge people base on what they offer me. I only like to be served chilled beverages. Granted the spontaneous visit might not give the host enough time to prepare for the proper beverages, but if someone invites me to their house, I fully expect some sort of chilled beverage to be on the menu.

3. You know what really annoys me. CVS and Walgreens. I really do not understand what is going through their minds. Everytime CVS opens a new location, Walgreens has to come right behind them and not only open a new location but open it RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. I may not be an economist, but this is idiocy incarnate. Even if for some reason there is some sort of weird, twisted way this is profitable, it just annoys me that they are right next to each other. Things have to be spaced out evenly and efficiently. I refuse to make regular purchases at these stores from now onward.

4. I cannot decide which I hate worse, Snuggies or Blue-tooth phones. While blue-tooth phones can be a very cool, useful gadget, they are being completely misused. I was sitting at a restaurant and this lady was sitting next to us by herself. All of a sudden I hear her say, what time does the place close? Thinking she was talking to me I respond with "I think 9." She turns to me and really rudely says "I ain't talking ta you." OK, hold up. First of all, go back to school and learn some grammar lady, and while you are at it learn to be civilized and not speak to me like an uneducated punk. Second of all, I did not see your blue-tooth. Do not go into public and talk on your blue-tooth. You are not cool. It does not make me think, "Oh wow, that lady is so important that she needs to continuously talk to people as she does errands because shes so damn important and busy." It makes me want to shoot you.

5. So one of my teachers has the most annoying habit. He asks rhetorical questions incessantly. "What is public policy? It is the blah blah blah. Now what does that mean to us? Blah blah blah. What is the executive branch? President. WTH, I did not sign up for a class for you to have a conversation with yourself. Can you get that checked out please? I stopped asking questions in class because none of the responses make sense. He will literally argue with himself in the responses...What is public policy? It is agenda setting. No. It is more. Does it involve blah blah blah. Yes, they do. Did I mention that he has a thick accent from Ghana...

6. OK, the blue-tooth lady inspired me. I wish to enact new public policy. I wish to call for the segregation of people that advance society and people that are worthless. The government shall issue IQ tests, and we can control for different things like one is not good at standardized tests and mental illnesses, and people that are nice but do not have the smart. Anyone who does not meet these standards shall be shipped off to Greenland. We shall be kind and give them some clothes and food, but that it is. After that they shall be left to fend for themselves and stop ruining other people's lives. More than likely they shall all die. I am OK with that.

7. I dislike the gas-light. It comes on telling you that you are on empty, BUT it lies to you! You are not really on empty, you can still go many more miles! I have gone 30 miles since the gas light has come on. Nothing happened. I am slowly pushing the limit I know, but I would like a car that tells me when I am maybe 5 miles away from empty. I am not a dumbass I know when the car is nearing empty, but do not tell me my car is empty when I have a good 30 miles to go. And do not respond saying that it is there to remind people that do not notice. If you cannot notice something like that, then maybe you belong on the island that I described above.
