Chest Pains

O.k, I really hate when there's a person that's supposed to be doing something for me and then something comes up and they're "busy."  I mean, let's take young, teenager cashiers for instance.
So one day, I am happily doing my groceries and I have all my bread, my eggs, my cheese, my milk...and I'm feeling pretty good about myself.  I think to myself, "Wow, what a great day.  i got my groceries done, the sun is shining, and now I'm going to go home and do something productive.  And all the while there's happy music in the background.

And then I get to the cashier.

The person in front of me finished with their items, so I put my items on the conveyor belt.  Then, right after the guy in front of me grabs his last bag, the young-teenage-girl-behind-the-register's phone erupts in a loud ringtone that  was very obnoxious at the time, already putting my mood off.  she grabs her phone and begins chatting with one of her friends.

Meanwhile, amidst all the hubbub, I am patiently waiting for her to get off her phone and scan my bread.  After what seemed like about 10 minutes, I lean forward and ask politely, "Can you please scan my items?"  She looks up surprised and scans a loaf of bread.  I smile, thinking that I have finally achieved my way to home.

But no.  After scanning only one loaf of bread, the girl turns to lean on the register and talks some more.  She again scanned another item at my specific request (can you please scan my eggs) and she does the same thing.  Same blank face, same swiping of code, and then same going back to talking.

And  after a couple of rounds of this, I'm still standing here, thinking to myself, "Oh my God, please, just f***ing scan the damn milk already!" while keeping a sort-of-smile on my face.  But I think I was giving her the death glare with my eyes, because she looked up, quickly hung up the phone, and scanned the rest of my items, and I was not-so-happily on my way home.

And that's why I really don't like to eat eggs, milk, cheese, and bread together in the same dish, because it reminds me of this day...

Enjoy the spoils of life...

This Dude Is Wack

I'm serious.  I am very sure that you will agree with me by the end of this post.

So as I was coming home from school on the subway, there was these two old guys sitting next to each other in my car.  The one on the right was sleeping, had baggy clothes on, an unshaved, thick stubble, and a wool cap.  The old guy next to him was the COMPLETE opposite of him.  he had a nice haircut, a dress shirt and dress pants, shined-up shoes, a briefcase, and a sweater.
As I mentioned, the guy on the right was sleeping, and when the subway jerked to a stop, he lost his balance and fell into the spiffy guy's lap.

Scruffy:  Hey, man, I'm sorry....imsorry (grumbles tiredly)
Spiffy:  It's ok, it's ok...(you can tell by his face that it's NOT OK.) (he gets up slowly and moves to the door)
Scruff:  Hey! I said I was sorry!
Spiff:  Yes...I know...
Scruff: (getting rather angry) I said I was SORRY!
Spiff: ...........
Scruff:............
Spiff:...........
Scruffy: (glares at spiffy) I know what you did.....
Spiff: (avoiding eye contact) I didn't do anything...
Scruff:  I saw what you did you sonnaffab****
Spiff: (slightly put off by rudeness) ..........
Scruff:  Freakin' lookin' at me like that.... I already said I was sorry...a$$hole...

Spiff got off at the next stop.  I felt really bad for Spiff there... Jerkface Scruffy was being a jerk for no reason, right?  He fell on the other guy's lap, so isn't it expected for one of them to get up?  It's not like Spiff is gonna think to himself, "Yeah, I think I'll stay right here 'cause I can't wait to be fallen on top of by some strange hobo guy."

Yeesh.

I got of at the next stop too because I didn't want Spiff to be the only one leaving the awkward situation.
Plus I had to transfer to another train anyway...

Anyway, enjoy the video (not by me btw)
