since this is festivus time (ha!) i have a couple of grievances to bitch about...nothing major, just some bugs that crawled in to annoy me...
1. four years ago we spent $500 to fix our sidewalks becos the borough told us to do it or else get fined (75% of the borough was forced to fix cracked sidewalks). i'd like to see more people WALK on them instead of walking in the street. i'm afraid of hitting you with my car (and it's not like our streets aren't narrow enough...). i hate it most when i see someone walking with a baby stroller. people drive up my street like it's the indy 500. i'd hate to see something happen. so anyway, if i'm driving and i get a burning case of the squirts...it's your ass, not mine, if you get hit.
2. on the pedestrian slant...would it KILL you to look both ways before crossing the street? don't they teach that in school anymore? doesn't ANY parent teach that to their kid anymore? even the WIGGLES teach that. just don't assume that i'm going to stop while your crossing the street. or anyone else for that matter. i've seen cars roll through stop signs and they certainly won't stop for you. where's your common sense? oh yeah, no one has any anymore.
3. clerks too lazy to correct a charge during checkout. last night at the local dollar box store the clerk accidentally scanned the basket holding bubble wrap, charging me $2. she said it was easier to keep the scan and just make it up with whatever i purchased equal to that amount, rather than void it. no, that's not alright. what if i need to return the marshmallows i bought? they're not on the receipt. or what if i didn't have anything that equalled $2? seriously. stop being such a lazy stupid ass and spend the extra minute voiding out the mistake.
4. i crammed to get a hat knit for grandma for xmas so she'd have a pressie from us to open. and then i find out that she's not visiting us this xmas!! thanks for not telling me sooner. i could've spent more time finishing my socks and less time worrying about what to knit.
okay, go back to your aluminum pole.
