Chicken Alfredo, Not Just Mac n' Cheese

I wish I didn't like food so much. Some people can just eat whatever just to fill themselves up. But, no I have to want a gourmet meal every night. Today I'm going to get alfredo sauce to eat with already made chicken. Plus I already have the noodles and parmasean cheese. This grocery shopping all at one time is really working out.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyy?!!!

Have you ever missed out on a financial opportunity that was so good and easy to do but because you missed a phone call or email it went to someone else? That happened to me and I'm so annoyed at myself about it. I guess it wasn't meant to be.

Hollywood Bus Stops

I got off work and was waiting at the bus stop at 11:30 at night and a guy asks if the bus will take him to the greyhound which I don't know so I look up on my phone where the greyhound is. So as I'm doing this he's telling me how he had just gotten out of jail today after 4 years for threatening terrorism andthen something about domestic abuse. But, he did add that it didn't make him a bad person. Positive thinking, everyone can benefit from it!

My work changed my schedule last minute by leaving me a message. I didn't get the message because they call from an unknow number which is extremely annoying since telemarketers call from an unknown number. Then they call when I'm supposed to be in and when I say I never got the message about this SECOND schedule change they ask if I'm sure. Why would I intentionally miss 2 hours of work?

Teeth

My tooth didn't hurt before I got a cavity filled in it, but, now I'm constantly in pain. They better fix it for free or else I'm gonna freak out. Plus I'm sick of it hurting constantly.

Holiday Shoplifting!

A woman that was shopping at my store got arrested today. She had her baby with her too. The way she acted about it was so strange too, not ashamed, lying, talking like she was just going to appologize. The loss prevention officer approached her outside and she acually introduced herself to him and shook his hand! I guess she was trying to be charming to get out of it but, it was just very strange! She also looked like a girl next door. So it added to the wierdness of it!

It's Not My Problem

The only types of companies that don't adopt the "its not my problem philosophy" are retail stores. You can bring a smashed, used completly, 2 year old product and get a refund from a retail store, or buy and return weekly and clearly abuse the system and be completely fine. But, any other company would be like your cars not fixed? Well it must be a different problem. You are a day late because you had an emergency, its not my problem is the answer they would give without words by giving you a $30 late fee.

X-Press Bus

it stinks when you wait and wait for the bus and then the one that ends up coming is the non express bus. Then you have a difficult decision to make. Do you risk waiting for the express bus that's usually just a little behind the regular one or do you go with the one that's there? The non express is horrible because it stops at every single street possible. But, its worse when you're at an unfamiliar bus stop and you don't know if any buses are coming!

Overdue Dilema

I was renting magazines from the library and ended up owing $45. I don't understand how 6 overdue magazines that cost less than $4.00 can end up costing $45. I would have been better off just buying them.

We Stole A Shopping Cart.

My boyfriend and I have never been a totally normal couple. We just did our first joint shopping excersion tonight in over five years. We are excited to save money, so we are going to do it every week. But, right now the car is broken so we just wheeled the cart all the way hme and into our kitchen. We think outside the box.

It Be Chilly

It's annoying because my house is really cold but, I don't have a way of heating it. How do you not have a heat option in your apartment building?

Holiday Shopping

Certain people are much harder to shop for than others. My parents are the most difficult because they never want anything except for gift cards. Then there's my boyfriend who only ever wants expensive electronic type things. I am also difficult to shop fo because I'm very picky so when people try and pick out something, a lot of times it's something I would never like or be interested in. If someone tells you they want a gift card, it may mean that you're a shitty gift giver and you might be better off just doing what they ask!!!

What is it about pudgy, white 40 something balding men that makes them most likely to be child molesters, stalkers or serial killers?

How Is It That I Am So Unlucky?

A couple of things, so my car is broken and I haven't fixed it yet because first off, it's a lot of money. Second off, I was already horribly stressed about paying for my registration and also get something fixed so I can pass my smog check. So not exactly sure how to handle that. Also, my computer broke. I don't quite understand how it is possible that every month there is a new paralyzing expense that I couldn't have even imagined. Plus my car breaks every 6 months so I may not even fix it this time.

People Sellin' their eggs for money!

This girl at work sold her eggs for $10,000 for each donation!!! If I knew for a fact that the people wouldn't get pregnant I would totally do it!! Shit, this girl did it 3 times! Thirty grand could buy me a lot of stuff but, I would not be OK knowing I had a kid out there somewhere in any way!!! But, damn that would be awesome!

War

War is something nobody should have to see or go through. If you have to go to war you will die either physically or mentally. I feel so sad that people actually have to go through that.

Can The Buses Run More Often Mr. Mayor?

I had to wait for almost an hour just to get on a bus. The bus system in LA is rediculous. Every large city in the uS has great transportation except for this lame city. Every time I have to take the bus for some reason I get so annoyed. I have to get $700 together in order to get my car to drive and to be legal doing it. If the transportation system was better I would just say forget it. But its not so I have to fix it.

Taking The Bus Sucks!

It takes so much longer to get everywhere when you're taking the bus!!! Plus you have to get off one bus to get on another bus so it costs double! It cost me 5 dollars just to get to work and back! Plus you have all the weird drama that's going on all around you. Oh well. It'll do for now.

Black Friday

I'm not going to gripe about anything too serious because I'm supposed to give thanks for Thanksgiving, but, are you kidding me? People started lining up at noon today for Black Friday. You have to be out of your mind! For the sale things, you have to be one of the first 20 people otherwise they would all sell out so you're going through the madness for things that are the exact same sale for weeks! So you gave up dinner with your family to go and wait in line overnight. Interesting choice people!

Grocery Budet!

My car is broken again so since I don't have money to fix it, it has forced my boyfriend and I to start budgeting groceries. Something apparently we should have started doing years ago considering we figured out that we could save up to $80 a week EACH! We never go in on groceries together so we spend more money on single person items and go to the store every day! We are very excited about being able to pay our bills.

I have slept more than necessary in the last 24 hours and now I'm going to sleep again. My dream self is getting to do a lot more than my awake self is.

Freakin' Meetings

I have to go into work for a meeting on my day off. That sucks because it's not until 6 so the whole day I have to anticipate going into work. Plus it's never anything worthwhile to go to because it's always about the same info that you have heard a million times before and you have to fake excitement about. It's the same at every job. The managers all get riled up and excited so I guess it's really for them.

The Worst Looking Decade

1980's fashion and HAIR was the worst of all time. I feel sorry for people who were at their prime during the 80's. The worst would be if you got married then and have to look at your wedding pictures with your bangs hair sprayed into a tall wave and your dress with obnoxiously poofy shoulders. What a terrible looking time. If you go to some Southern states, you can see the styles still when you go to the local diner.

Super Duper Excited!

I'm one of those people that gets really overexcited about the tiniest things, for example, the plastic venti iced starbucks cup that I have been wanting forever. But then things that people usually get excited about I think are cool but, I don't get all geeked out about it like I do with the little things.

Karl Lagerfeld Has Been Added To The List

I'm adding someone to my most annoying and awful list. Karl Lagerfeld. I think that he is a cross between a 17th/ 18th century dude in a powdered wig and skeletor. He's said the most offensive things about women, about their weight and wearing too casual of clothes. He's always got something snarky and pretentious to say. But, come on how hoity toity can you be when you're friends with Lindsay Lohan?

My Fat Is Sore

I can feel every muscle in my body because I went horseback riding. I don't know how I let myself get so out of shape but I feel like I just had surgery. My fat on my thighs where there is no muscle is sore which I thought was impossible but am really excited about the potential it brings to light. I get a good workout one time and I'm so proud of myself, like I completed a triathalon or something!

I Am A Broken Down Car

I am getting so old! I worked out a tiny bit on Saturday and woke up really sore on Sunday morning. Then I rode a horse and then went swimming and I swear to everything holy, my body feels like if it were a car it would be broken down on the side of the rode with smoke coming out of the enging.

People Done Gone Crazy!

People have started to go crazy! The holiday season has just begun and what that means in the retail world is more need, emotional customers to deal with. Plus EVERYONE needs extra help. My favorite question that people ask is,"I don't know what to get for (so and so). Well if you don't know than I'm not going to know. Plus I already know that you're going to say no to everything I show you and end up leaving without anything because you need to look around some more. You gotta give me SOMETHING so it's not a wild goose chase. Also, if you're pretty sure that we don't have what you're looking for, then don't bother asking me to help you find it!!!

You Love Yourself More Than Necessary

I wonder how some people grow up to be really in love with themselves and think that everything they do is amazing. For example, John Mayer; he's a musician but thinks he's also a comedian and a Hollywood playboy. Certain people have that quality. Mario Lopez, Tyra Banks, George Clooney... It's like their parents were constantly telling them they were the best people ever made and that they should educate the world about that by constantly talking about yourself to as many people as possible.

I Hate Doing Things.

I like to deal with problems right away. Instantly I want to figure it out so I will drop everything to do that but, if there is a reason why I can't fix it RIGHT away, I will completely forget about it for weeks. That doesn't make any sense because if it causes me so much anxiety that I need it done right away than how can I kust forget about it? It really boils down to: I hate doing things that have any stress involved. I've gotten to this point at 27 so that's probably not good for my future.

My Time Is More Valuable Than My Vanity

My temporary crown fell out and I haven't gone back to get it fixed because the dentist that I go to is insanely ill managed and would take an hour just to get in a room and then another two to get the job done. So for two weeks I have this ugly discolored stump in my mouth. Good thing I work in the beauty industry, that must look awesome

Hide And Go Seek

I just have to saay that finding your cat after it has fallen/jumped off your balcony in Hollywood is very frustating. Its not like I can jump peoples fences and go search through there bushes to find her. Its kind of daunting to know that the odds of me seeing her walking down the street are pretty small. But then a lot of people have spotted her (they think) yet I'm outside calling her name every day and of course I haven't seen her. I really think she needs to put a lot more effort into being found because it just doesn't seem like she's trying very hard.

Go Away!

There's always one person at every job that causes problems for everyone yet somehow irritatingly stays in good graces with management. It's because they're always the crazy suckups. People are lame. I'm not someone that's good to start shit with because once someone does that they open the door and I trounce them and they get all upset and complain about you. That doesn't make sense! It's like getting mad when you sucker punch someone and they beat the shit out of you. It doesn't make sense!

Either Way I Complain!

So I've desperately needed hours at work for months now, actually almost a year, so I've been complaining about hours that whole time. Now I'm getting AWESOME hours, so can I now go back to complaining about working too much or is that in bad taste?

Thanks California!!!

I got an "Intercept Notice-Tax Refund". It says: "the City of Los Angeles will intercept your state tax refund to pay your parking fines." So you're going to tell me that you're going to not pay me my already 8 MONTHS LATE tax refund because I'm late paying my parking ticket? That's REAL shady, our state must be real proud of itself trying desperately to figure out ways not to pay their tax refunds. I already am paying 3 times the amount of the original ticket because I'm late paying it, THAT'S THE PUNISHMENT!!! I have to pay it in order to renew my registration anyway lame asses! Calm down!

Seattle People Rock, LA People Lame!

I was just visiting Seattle and the people there were so nice and friendly so there were no problems (because nobody's TRYING to make any), that when I got back to LA it was a big snapback to reality. As soon as I stepped through the terminal if you looked at someone they were looking at you with a chip on their shoulder. No more friendly conversation with strangers that's for sure! I recommend Seattle people all move here. I went back to work and got the usual Beverly Hills shopping crowd which I can't really describe, young to old they're mostly all just kind of unpleasant to deal with. But, in Seattle I would probably end up commiting suicide because of all the rain like everyone else so nevermind!

What Did This Guy Do To You?

A flock of geese flew by overhead and were sqwalking, and this woman passing by said to a guy she was with, "I wish I had my BB gun." Seriously? Is the second of noise bothering you that much? Plus, satan you're a woman, be a little less heartless and vulgar. What a wierdo.

I Know There's Something Wrong With Me

I'm so different than everyone else that it makes long periods of social interaction complicated. Short bouts and you would never know the difference. I'm just a loner I guess, with the excepion of few.

A Geography Lesson

Shit, I have a stopover in Oakland on my way to Seattle and I had no idea that if it was in California. Also, I don't know if I should brush up on geography but, I was kind of thinking Seattle was on the East coast for some reason. Its an educational experience so far. I hope I get to see the White House!

Who Does This???

So I lost my cat which is devestating. She must have fallen off the balcony. So there's all these posters around my neighborhood with her picture and stuff. Get this, a little old lady called and left a message about how she saw the flier up and she thinks that the coyotes probably got the cat. So she didn't see my cat get eaten by coyotes, this is just her theory on what happened.

My goodness my heart hurts. I wish we could hold on to our loved ones forever.

Overdraft Fees

One of the things I hate most about the world is overdraft fees. There's no reason they need to give you 5 $35 overdraft fees for a total of fifty dollars that you went over just because they were broken up into 5 different transactions. Greedy banks are so horriblle.

I think my cat has asthma

Can cats have allergies? My cat is like sneazing and coughing, and breathing all heavy. Its not all the time and she's very diva-like so I'm pretty sure its just to get attention. She's like that girl who gets "hurt" while playing sports and really milks it even though everyone knows she's not really that hurt. That's like my cat believe it or not.

Crazy Pregnant Lady's

If you are pregnant, don't make your crazy emotions my problem. You need to realize that you are more sensitive than you usually are, and breathing heavier-gross- so you need to stop freaking out on random people. Go home, put your feet up and give your attitude to who really deserves it, your husband

When do you figure out youre the asshole?

At what point do you figure out that maybe it's you that's the problem? There's this woman that shops at my work that has complained about 14 of the 16 people that work there, all at different times. She's the most maliscious evil woman I've dealt with which is saying a lot when you work in West Hollywood/ Bevery Hills area. Its just funny because we are a really customer oriented store so I can't imagine how going through life must be for her. I should have forcefully hugged her.

What are White People Doing in My Neighborhood?

I've lived in my mostly all hispanic neighborhood for almost four years now, and now I've noticed a bunch of white people popping up all over the place and I'm like, "whatchu doin here white boy?" But I'm white so I'm not sure I can pull that off so I'll stop.

Thinking Ahead

I've had a couple of accidents the past few days that could have been avoided had I given it some forethought. I was in the middle of helping a customer at work when I got gum stuck in my temporary crown. The gum got underneath the crown, so I was trying to work it out while consulting with this person and not let her know what I was doing. Then today I was waxing my eyebrows and I got wax in a big chunk of eyebrow that I didn't want removed and had to re-melt it while on my face to get it out. I am a little impulsive and like to get everything done fast once I figure out what I want done so I run into problems like this pretty often.

Where Did This Arm Fat Come From?

So I'm 27 years old now and I have to say, I've got an extra 15 lbs on me that's not at all attractive. I used to have no problem at all with my arms, but now my upper arms are gross looking in pictures. No good! I never had a problem with my weight but now I have to do something or else I'm going down a terrible path!

Customer Service Calls

I don't think anything has ever made me more mad then when you've been waiting for a long time for customer representitive to answer and they accidentally disconnect you. So then you have to call back and wait the same amount of time again to get your question answered. And if you're willing to go through the annoyance of having to call and be routed around it's probably something important because otherwise you would avoid calling in the first place.

Danika Patrick makes bad endorsement decisions

I've decided that the "Go Daddy" commercials are the lamest commercials I've ever seen that have nothing to do with what they are advertising. And also, Danika Patrick makes extremely poor decisions on what to endorse. She not only does that but she does another commercial that's equally as lame.

work work work!

Does anyone actually like their job enough in America to not have vacation time and shorter days like the rest of the world? I'm not sure when we stopped being a democratic country and became a capitolist country that has no values besides making money and "its business" became an excuse to do terrible things to people. It makes everyone angry, sick and tired.

This one is Not Funny, sorry!

I've decided that LA in all aspects is a rip-off. I've never experienced so many fees and fines for EVERYTHING! I've decided to start paying what I can to live comfortably, and just rack up debt. Because I have no other options. I've been hit from all sides recently and even with a lot of help I'm back to barely holding my head above water. So rent is going to have to wait, my registration is going to be expired and I have to be Ok with it bc I have no other options but to be OK with it. Thanks for letting me rant, I will go back to trying to make you laugh tomorrow!!!

Why haven't I Ever Gotten Nitrus Oxide At The Dentist?

I don't want to go to the dentist. Is it just me or is novocain just not an acceptable form of painkiller for such an unpleasant procedure? The vibration of the drill against bone is just horrible. Plus the shot in the mouth to administer it is not the greatest feeling either. Plus people are inches away from your face for like an hour while someone sucks up your drool.

I was broke before the economy failed

I always hear people talking about how they don't have money to spend like they used to because of the economy and they're having to cut back. I wanna be like listen shitheads I was broke BEFORE the economy went south, now its just like I'm slummin it. So don't tell me you can't get that new car you were going to get because your company isn't giving out bonuses this year. My car doesn't have a working horn.

Shrinks

I've never understood therapists or psychiatrists who don't have any sort of mental disorder. It's like someone running AA meetings who have never had a drinking problem. It doesn't make ANY sense to me. They tell you the most silly things to do, that would only work if you were just going through a bout of depression rather that actually "having" depression. There is the exception as with anything, but I would only go to someone who has been diagnosed with depression. Otherwise, I know more than you so what am I paying you for?

The Saw Movies

There's yet another SAW movie. They are so disturbing, I think even serial killers are put off by them. They're probably like Oh no that's just too much.

inappropriate Temperature

It is so hot that my TV says, "the system is experiencing above-normal temperatures. Unless corrected, it will shut itself off." I wish I could go away from here until its cooler.

Update: My cable box actually blew out. So the heat actually broke my cable box.

Hippies Are High-Maintenance

Hippies are high-maintenance. By that I mean the Los Angeles type hippies of this generation. The ones I'm talking about are VERY picky about everything like food, skincare, the proper way to recycle, etc... It's funny because they're supposed to be laid back and able to live off of nothing, like the hippies of the 70's. But, these are the rich hippies who aren't really hippies. The ones that spend a lot of money to make it look like they don't spend a lot, and want to be able to talk about all that they do to live as natural as possible. At work I avoid them because every time I try and help them it's so difficult to figure out what they want because nothing's ever good enough or natural enough, and they have the most complicated questions about ingredients that they MUST know that nobody else besides them would know about.

Taking Someone Off The List

I hate when I have to take someone off my list of people who are just awful or just incredibly annoying. I'm going to take Lady Gaga off temporarily b/c I like her new song a lot and also I think that she's actually mentally unstable. So, there we are, also Kanye West should be added but, I like his music too much to add him and his mom died. But, he really just needs to stop talking because he just is VERY unlikeable when he speaks.

I Just Don't Like Doing Things.

I don't like doing anything that I'm SUPPOSED to do, especially when it requires me to pay money for something I don't care about, or makes me have to schedule an appointment. I also hate the process of paying bills. It really shouldn't be as hard as it is! There's always an extra fee for something too, like paying over the phone or if heaven forbid it's late. (And if you pay "day of", make sure you're paying on time IN THE CORRECT TIME ZONE, which is one of those mind boggling things that nobody can keep track of or do correctly). Everything that as a responsible adult you're supposed to do sucks and usually means that you have to go through five annoying steps in order to get it done.

I Don't Know If I could Accidentally Admit To Murder

I don't quite understand how this girl accused of the Knox murder could have admitted guilt for murdering her and later say that she was bullied into admitting it and that she's not guilty. Not only is that just very ridiculous and convenient for her but, also there is NO way in HELL that someone could get me to FALSELY ADMIT GUILT for MURDER. That's absurd.

I'm Alarmed

My elevator has a sign in it that says " if doors do not open do not become alarmed, push alarm and wait for assistance". They really need to change the verbage somewhere in that sentence because I'm frankly confused about what emotion I'm supposed to feel.

Oh This Is Going To Be Painful

Having a car is a lot of work and money. I just had to get my smog check and of course it didn't pass. But, the annoying thing is that it didn't fail the emissions part of it, it was the functional part, which might just be the check engine light and something else very trivial. Gimmee a break California. Do you really care that my check engine light is on? It's been on for like two years. Now once I get that fixed I have to go back and get another smog check, which is $60 by the way. Then I have to pay my registration. If it's not putting out smog, why the hassle? Oh it's because EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD HAS SO MANY RULES AND PROCEDURES THAT ALL BOIL DOWN TO MONEY THAT IT MAKES ME WANT TO TEAR MY HAIR OUT. It's just like when you try and call a service line for a company. You have to know that it's going to be a HORRIBLE process and you're not ever going to get your way.

Can We Get Some Actual Article's In Women's Mags Please?

Have you ever noticed that womens' magazines are either just advertisements or it's about New York City parties talking about people I've never heard of but are apparantly the upper echalante. Oooooorrrr it's about makeup, staying or getting thin.

Oh Good, Football season!

Oh yay! Football season.... My boyfriend of Five years didn't watch football for the first two years we were living together. Now, he not only watches football but, he's in FOUR fantasy football leagues. I am not a football fan, I respect the game, but just could not give any sort of crap about it. From now on when he tries talking to me about it I'm going to hold up a typed out document about how I'm not contractually obligated to care because when we entered into this relationship, I didn't know football was going to be part of the package.

Streets Do Not Jog.

Streets shouldn't be allowed to jog. If I have to get off of say "Main St", and turn on a different street in order to turn back onto Main St., that's a different street.

Americans Are Lazy?

Wouldn't work be a thousand times easier if you didn't have to commute? We all work way too much. We work an average of 40 hours a week, and if you add in hour long lunches every day and the hour it takes to get to work and back, that's really more like 50 hours. Then, some people have 2 jobs. We're not made to work that much. That's why people get sick so often and age so fast. Plus we get a week or two of paid vacation rather than a month like other countries. No good. Funny how people call Americans lazy. I don't think that's very accurate.

Being Poor Sucks!

I'm sick of being POOR! But, I'm as happy as anyone else so who cares? Well, I do, I want to have enough money to at least do normal things without having a panic attack! I can't blame the economy though, I was this way long before that!

Right Brain Versus Left Brain

I have figured out that the reason why I am so bad with names of everything is because I'm a right brained person. I've also figured out a lot about myself and others by looking up how right brained people think versus left brained people. So that's it, I have an excuse for everything now, YAY! I wonder why there isn't prejudice and war about right brain versus left brain.

How Do LA Fires And Hippies Go Together?

The fires in California are rediculous. I can't help but think that these fires happen every year around the same time and yet it takes forever to put them out. We have a satellite orbiting in space to beam info around the world and yet we can't seem to find a way to put out our fires. Then I remember that this is California, I bet it's some b.s. hippie excuse about saving water.

Personalized Plates

I appreciate people with personalized license plates. When they're driving in a way that annoys me I have a name or phrase to use so it's funnier to me. Like "Hey there, DIVA23, are you doing OK? Have you driven before?" It makes it more, dare I say... personal. I appologize, that was lame.

Hate's A Strong Word

One of my least favorite things is when someone says "hates a strong word" because I've said the word hate. How boring would conversation be if people were so literal about things? Plus, words have the "strength" that the emotion you feel gives it. I can say I love something and actually be sarcastic. Also, to say that to someone as an adult is weird.

um... is this not the warm-up?

At a concert, and I thought I walked into the opening band warming up by I think it's actually their performance. That's not good. They may want to tweak their performance a bit. The actual band is much better I hope.

Doy aka duh

Oh come on republicans. Politicians and journalists try and have an intelligent conversation with you, and then are intercepted by arguments that defy logic altogether. The thing is, those republicans that are calling the shots don't have any desire to negotiate or look at any other viewpoint. The reason being... money and money and businesses that make them money... and power. Lots and lots of power. No happiness though. That's for sure.

Stay Out Of My Bubble

Attention close talkers, and personal space invaders: If I step back from you when you are talking to me, it's because you are standing uncomfortably close to me. The last thing you should do is step closer, and if it happens a third time I can't even guess why you don't get the hint but, I can't step back again or else I'm going to hurt your feelings. Also please don't stand an inch behind me in line. There's all the room in the world for you to stand so I politely wonder if you could stand anywhere else besides on my ass.

I find it so sad that there is nothing that hasn't been turned into a business. Health, Religion, Charity etc... Nothing is off limits. People involved don't even consider what they are doing is wrong, it's become somewhat common to respect people for doing whatever it takes to get to the top. Even if it means crawling over people, "it's business" is the excuse and way to shut down anyone questioning them.

Your hard-core Vehicles!

I love when I see sports utility or off-road vehicles avoid potholes.

People I Find Just Awful Or Incredibly Annoying

I'm going to explain why a couple of people are on my "people who I find just awful or incredibly annoying" list. Sarah Silverman is on there because whining doesn't make you funny, and women have a hard enough time being taken seriously in comedy, so when you get a show because a dude you're messing around with got one for you, and you don't do a good job, it's annoying. Tyra Banks is on there because she thinks she's AMAZING, she's always teaching everyone a lesson, and she's a bad person. And Dick Cheney's on there because I thinks he's a demon.

Walk Faster People Are Waiting For You!

Summer in Los Angeles is INSANE. It's well known that violence get worse during the summer here, but the whole energy of the city is crazy. People start driving crazier, everyone's mad and more problems occur as a result. I am not immune to this, I can't even get all the way down my street without wanting to yell at people for driving slow, taking up both sides of the road, parking a TRUCK in the middle of the road and leaving so I CANNOT pass and have to turn around and find an alternate route. And that's not even counting pedestrians and animals and people with baby carriages and large families. Walk FASTER, people are waiting for you!

Pay Attention If You Want Me To Help You!

At work I am pretty patient but, it only lasts just so long then I actually say can you just pay attention for a second? Or can u just listen to my answer before you ask another question? And other times I just want to wave my hand in front of their face because they zone out while asking a question or during my trying to help them. Very strange. I don't have an hour and a half to figure out the product you are looking for, so PAY ATTENTION!

Hillary Clinton Is Hilarious!

That guy asking Hillary Clinton what her husband says though "her mouthpiece" about the situation was the most condescending statement I have ever heard. I for one LOVED her reaction. She had obviously been dealing with this a lot during the visit, because she had such a visceral reaction! Hilarious. She's like, "my husband is not secretary of state I am". Why don't you sit down sir because you are a moron. I bet it makes you feel like a big man. People were saying she didn't have to react that way and it showed insecurity about being Bill Clinton's wife, but, I think no matter who her husband was, the same question would be asked. She has probably seen horrifying things there. This is a place where FGM is still performed.

Why Do Parents Want To Live Vicariously Through Their Children?

I've never understood why some parents want their kid to do a certain thing with their lives. Like dads' who want their sons to be football players, and live vicariously through them. It's controlling and more than that, it's weird. This is what I have to say to those types of parents: YOU ARE NOT YOU'RE SON OR DAUGHTER, AND NOBODY THINKS YOU'RE COOL IF YOU'RE SON OR DAUGHTER CAN DO SOMETHING WELL!

LEARN HOW TO DO YOUR JOB!

People are so bad at there jobs sometimes. My car broke down and I thought it was my battery so, I called triple AAA. So a guy came and tried to jump it and couldn't. He said it wasn't the battery and that it was probably the alternator. (At this point I had a mini heart attack inside.) So, he called someone to tow my car because he could only jump and replace batteries. The guy that came to TOW my car came and tried to jump it again and IMMEDIATELY started it (without any problem). Then tells me that it's DEFINITELY the battery. (I'm very happy about this). So then he is nicely teaching the first guy who's still there how he started my car, and then showed him how to put my battery in properly. It's just really funny to me because on the first guys truck it says "Battery Testing And Replacement". So his entire job is to figure out if you need a new battery. WOW. Moral of the story: don't trust ANYONE to know what they are doing.

People I Find Just Awful or Incredibly Annoying

So, I have the list "People I find just awful or incredibly annoying", and I'm going to be periodically giving a brief description of why I have added them. So, I just added George Lopez because I was just watching him talking about his HBO "comedy" special and he came off incredibly racist. That's why he was added but, he further annoyed me by coming off arrogant, narcissistic, and angry. Reverse racism is still racism.

Obama Didn't Cause This Mess, So Let Him Try And Clean It Up!

I knew that it would eventually happen that people would forget that Obama wasn't the one that got us into all of these messes that we are in, he's just got to try and fix it. And it's just so messed up because we had the most incompetant person besides a mentally diabled person running the country before him. So now he's trying to fix things and everyone's standing in his way. While simultaneously asking why things aren't better yet. It's like mind boggling. I swear he gets questioned more on certain things than Bush did. And Bush couldn't even speak publically without completely making a fool of himself and the country.

Don't Pick A Fight With Me When I'm At Work

It pisses me off so bad when a customer will pick a fight or be demeaning to me while I'm at work. What kind of pansy does that? I can't say what I really want because I'm at work, and you would tell on me and try to get me fired the instant I gave you ANY attitude back. They do it on purpose because they can get out all their aggression on someone who can't talk back to them so they feel good about themselves. How sad for them.

Smug Little Bird...

Republicans vs. 2 year olds

Whenever there is any kind of change proposed, republicans sit back on there haunches, fold there arms and say NO. Do they have any ideas then instead of the one proposed? "NO". O.K. then I guess we'll just do NOTHING then. Awesome. Good idea.

The best advice I can give is to not listen to anyone's advice.

Fuckers Like This

Starbucks

Have you ever been here before? When you are standing in a loooong line full of people, read the menu so you know what you want when you get to the front. Try not to ask a billion questions. It is a drink. Also, if I get stuck behind someone who works at a hospital and is ordering 12 drinks for everyone they work with and paying seperately... I can't even say

LA Traffic

There's no good lane to be in when taking main streets in LA. Because if you're in the left lane: say someone needs to turn left and there's no turn lane, they have to wait for oncoming traffic to stop so they can turn. If you are in the right lane: they may be turning right, then they have to wait for all of the pedestrians (and there are ALWAYS pedestrians) until they can turn. Either way you're screwed! Just don't ever be in a rush to get anywhere. Ever.

Wow, You Look Like A Mannequin

Wow do some people put in WAY too much effort in their looks. People will do some crazy stuff to themselves to fix a "problem" they have with themselves. People walk around after getting plastic surgery with blood and puss coming out of their face. To me this seems very opposite of their intentions. They got plastic surgery to look better, but they're walking around looking crazy.

Cop show witnesses

why is it that in crime shows when cops are interviewing someone, the person they're interviewing always ends the conversation? Wouldn't it be the other way around? They're always like "excuse me", and then they walk away. They're talking about a murder and then they like, take a call or something. It's very funny to me.

I guess I can't be nice to pigeons anymore.

So, pigeons made some babies on my porch. Oh how cute. No! Don't be fooled as I was. Mites infested my house. Do u know how much cleaning is involved in getting rid of mites? Well, let me just tell you it's extensive.

The Douche Bags of Orange County

I DO NOT LIKE ORANGE COUNTY. There's something about the people there... Oh yeah, they are very shallow, judgmental,insecure and disgusting human beings. I was on set of a reality show at a mansion in Huntington Beach and the owner of the mansion, who is in his 20's and had NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SHOW besides lending his house out, was the biggest douche in the entire world. He was the type that although very unattractive would yell out things like "Ladies my bedroom is the first door on the left so you can all meet me up there after the party". He had like 7 other douche bag guys living there too. There were no redeeming qualities about them at all really.

Method Acting Is Lame

You know what REALLY annoys me? When actors "become" the character that they are portraying. And want people to call them by their character name and treat them like the character even when they are living their day to day lives. It's O.K. to use method acting if that's what works for you. But, when you go to the extreme mentioned above, you're probably a little crazy and not such a good actor. Because a good actor ACTS; they don't go all crazy train and "become" someone. Weirdos.

Cheeseyness

Why is it that cop drama show or movies always have those cheesey lines especially when they enter a crime scene? Like... I guess we're late to the party or something equally as wierd,? Does anyone think that's funny? I guess so b/c its pretty standard.

Pop Quiz

O.K. let me ask a question: If you are running a business and have to cut your employees hours because business is down do you? a. Give people LOTS of hours even if they don't need or want
them?
b. Hire MORE employees?
c. Give people a hard time when they request time off or are
sick and can't come in?
d. None of the above.
Funny thing is, this seems like a common sense answer that, you would mark (d). But, if you work at my job, the actual answer is a,b, and c. Now, they would argue that we were short staffed because people left so they had to hire more people. Which, in a normal economy would be accurate, and also, if you were scheduling employees to their maximum amount of hours it would be accurate. But, since people are begging for hours and others want to work LESS, it seems pretty FUCKING logical to me that you have an opportunity to make everyone happy! Yeah, that does make sense. Maybe it makes too much sense. Let's do the exact opposite.

The Funnier You Are, The More Intelligent and Interesting I See You.

I don't understand people who don't have a sense of humor. I have to admit that if someone doesn't have a sense of humor they seem less intelligent and boring to me. The funnier you are, the more intelligent and interesting I see you. I have noticed that sarcasm is one of those things that not everyone understands either. The reason this frustrates me is that because I am always sarcastic and/or joking around, people misunderstand me; and then I have to take time to explain to them what I am talking about. What's even MORE annoying than THAT is that if I know someone doesn't have a sense of humor I won't be sarcastic with them or joke to much with them, but, then they hear me with other people who DO have a sense of humor and they either think I'm mean or crazy or something. Moral of my story: If you don't have a sense of humor either figure out how to get one, or don't judge me or make me spend my valuable time explaining myself to you. Just sit their in your idiotic confusion and be quiet.

Haven't You Ever Played Telephone?

Don't believe everything you read or hear or else you're more ignorant than a child who has played "telephone". So people who will kill, die, or betray loved ones, etc because of something you've read or heard you're a retard.

People Lack Conscience and Integrity and I Have No Patience For That.

I don't understand how people can sleep at night when they have such a profound negative impact on peoples lives. I'm talking about people in power that don't care about anything or anyone but themselves; and making money so that they can be as powerful as possible. Lobbyists, politicians, big business are all guilty of this. George Bush had lobbyists for food companies working for the FDA. Ummm... what? That doesn't make any sense. There is really too much to even go into without me having a heart attack from the corruption that goes on EVERYWHERE. People lack conscience and integrity and I have no patience for that.

Sorry I didn't mean To Look At Your Boobs

Why are name tags always worn on the chest? It's a lose-lose situation all around. Because either way they're wondering why you are looking at their chest. And there are only two options; you've either forgotten their name or you're looking at their chest.

I have to stop being so nice to people.

I have to stop being so nice to people. It sucks that I have to do that but it's just that people see it as a weakness and then they think that they can say whatever they want to me, or TRY and take advantage of me. Then, they get all shocked when I say something back to them because I'm a nice person and I never start drama with people. So then they find out that I am a terrific arguer and REALLY good at putting people in their place. It's weird that people who are bitchy all the time get away with it, but, if I reciprocate they go nuts because they can dish it out but, they can't take it. That's what happens when you have to deal with people of lower intelligence levels than yours.

I Wish People Came With Little Warning Tags

I wish people came with little warning tags. Like for example, one could say "Warning! I don't have a sense of humor!" That would be extremely helpful, PLUS it would help them be self aware of their problems! Another example could be, "Warning! I am going through some shit right now so don't bother me." Now see that's another one that would be extremely helpful all around! All parties would benefit from that for sure. I would also like to see: "I'm lying, I have no live experience, I am insecure and take it out on other people, I'm rich and horrible, and I am a bad person. There's something to this I think...

No Psycho, I don't Speak Your Language. Do You Speak Mine? No? Well I guess You Can't Be Mad At Me Then Can You?

I don't quite relate to people who are visiting or living in the U.S. who don't speak English, that get annoyed with ME for not understanding what they are saying. This will happen a fair amount at my work when I am trying to figure out what they are saying using some sort of charades communication system. Now, I am patient and I genuinely try and figure out what they need. But, DO NOT roll your eyes or ask me in an annoyed tone if I speak: Korean, Russian, French, Spanish, Italian, etc. Are you kidding me? This is L.A. psycho, do you have any idea how many languages I would have to speak in order to communicate with everyone? I have had people ask me in a suprised tone "You don't speak _____(insert language here)?" The last thing that I would EVER think to do when in another country would be to get annoyed with someone and be rude to them because they don't speak English.
I'm like "You don't speak English?!" But then, I don't think they probably get the sarcasm.

Attn. Religious Fanatics Of All Kinds

Chill out. Thank you, that is all.

I Mean Shit, I Gotta Eat

I don't know if I know anyone my age that has a good credit score and/ or has a lot of debt. I say 'and/or' because you can have a lot of debt and still have a good credit score but, you are still more in debt than the homeless guy outside the gas station down the street. It's become impossible to live without a good credit score because we are no longer capable of buying the necessities of life without it. So now we are the generation of the "fuck its". We can't pay our credit debt off but, we have to live so we just have to ignore collectors phone calls or just keep increasing our debt. There're so many people that are being forced to do that especially now with the large amounts of people losing their jobs and the economy bottoming out! It'll be interesting to see whether getting an apartment, a loan, or job with bad credit will be easier because of the mass amounts of people that will all be in the same boat.

Rules Are Made To Be Broken... Obviously.

I get so aggravated with people who can't or don't bend the rules. I don't know if they don't know how to or what, but it really bothers me. They're so illogical, and they don't want to help people out or just be cool about something. Rules are great and needed but, there are circumstances where they don't apply. It's just unintelligent to not understand that. There's of course perameters in which you need to do this, and there are rules that should never be broken but, in life there are all sorts of different situations that need different responses. And the people that wrote the rules probably thought that the people implementing be smart enough to know that.

Come On Food Companies, Is it Ever Enough Money For You?

So, organic food tastes better. I'm really surprised. I feel better mentally and physically, I don't get indigestion anymore, and my skin looks better! I guess I don't really need to ask this question but, why isn't everything done in this way? Oh, is it money? There's a surprise! I mean I love bad food just as much as anyone else, and I still want it to be an option but, it's just so mass produced that you have to go out of your way to eat organic. But, you can't make it dirt cheap and mass produce it so it doesn't help the bottom line. So the food companies will just let us get diseases and die! But, they'll be rich so yay for them!

Don't Mess Up This Opportunity Democrats...Geez!

Democrat politicians, you need to stop letting Republicans push you around. Health care reform is an necessity so stop with this bi-partisan reaching across the aisle Mother Teresa stuff. It's great to do that to a point but remember that the Republicans were never bi-partisan when their president was in office, so get your policies pushed through now and stop delaying. Democrats you have the majority for God's sake! This is your one opportunity to do something we need desperately so don't mess it up. So annoying!

Call Someone ELSE to Get Your Butt Kissed

Can't do it! Nope! Can't suck up to people. I am an actress and I can't even do it. It makes me feel gross. Mostly, I think it's because I've always had a problem with authority, especially when the person isn't smart enough to be above me or they've screwed me over. Plus, I'm not here to stroke your ego, so don't fish for compliments either. If I compliment people it's organic, or if I want to make someone feel better; not to get ahead in life.

Being Famous Would Suck

I would hate to be really famous, you could never do anything! You'd never be able to be in a bad mood, and everyone in the world is judging you all the time. Plus, everyone is able to basically tell on you to the press whenever you do something they consider rude or wrong. Oh my gosh I would go crazy! No matter what you do in this world you are going to offend someone unless you live perfectly politically correct all the time, (which is a bullshit way to live) anyway. Yuck. No thank you. Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

An Amazing Woman

Today a woman that looked like she was mentally and physically disabled came in. I was at the cash register at the time and so I asked her if she wanted to sign up for a rewards card. I was going to write the information that was needed for her but, because she wasn't able to verbally communicate she took the pen and wrote the information in the most perfect handwriting that anyone could possibly have. Let me tell you that I can never read the info that people write because it's not at all legible. So then, since I was giving her a bunch of samples and gifts, I had to give her a bigger bag, so as I transferred her items from the small bag into the bigger bag she folded up the small bag for me! Are you serious? It was obviously to help me out, and it almost made me cry it was such a sweet thing to do.
So my gripe is that, this woman that has all the chips stacked against her is more considerate, more helpful, and more intelligent than most of the other customers that come in. Plus most of them would probably look at her like she was gross because she is handicapped and because she's not... I don't know tan or something. But, she's a better human being then them.

I See Your Bullshit

It's annoying to be able to see through people's bullshit because then you are in the uncomfortable position of having to FAKE like them because either your job depends on it, it's a social faux pas if you don't, they might stab you etc...
It just rubs me the wrong way to have to do it, it makes me feel like I'm lying. Then that makes me dislike the person even more which makes it harder to be nice- and the cycle continues.
I wish it was socially acceptable to just call them out on it. If you could just be like 'umm, yeah you're a bad person, so I'm just gonna go ahead and avoid you as much as possible.'

My Poor Car

My car died after leaving my lights on all night so I asked if I could get a jump from my landlady. She nicely agreed but while I was hooking up the cables she says in a thick accent, "you need a new car Lindsey, Come on." She said it like she can't believe that I'm still driving this thing around. Geez. I'm sorry.

Iran

So now journalists are being arrested in Iran, protesters are being killed, beaten, disappearing etc. I cannot imagine living anywhere that you have to be scared of speaking out because you or your family may go missing or be killed. However, President Obama is making the right moves as far as I'm concerned. It's a delicate situation over there and any interference from him would do more harm than good. If you look back at other U.S. presidents trying to deal with Iran, we haven't been too successful and unfortunately have not always made the right decisions in order to repair relations with them. This is a country full of corruption and with truly evil people in charge. We also have to remember that Obama is the president of the U.S. not God. He has no way of knowing how Iran is going to move forward, and him doing anything now would be irresponsible. Also, no matter who the president is over there, the Supreme Leader is still in charge. I just thank God that Bush isn't president right now because he'd probably be fucking everything up beyond repair.

Attn: Managers

Dear Managers at any job, anywhere. Try remembering things. Please don't make people have to remind you to do something more than once. And if they have to remind you of something more than once, don't you dare look annoyed. Just do your job. And get your memory checked or work out a new system for yourself like writing yourself a note or something. Yeah thaaanks...

I'm Not Here To Be Your Personal Assistant. You Aren't Paying Me

I have never in my life experienced such NEEDY people until working in Los Angeles. I was actually holding someone's dog for them the other day while I helped them find what they needed. I can't lie, the only reason I agreed was for purely selfish reasons because I love animals but, who asks someone to do that for them? People will point to a product on a shelf right in front of them and tell me that they want it. I want to ask them, "well pick it up then, is this your first time shopping in a store?" The worst is when someone drops something and waits for you to pick it up for them or, hands you their trash. Eww.

Is that?... Is there a stick up your ass?

Lighten up people! Don't worry, if you laugh and stop acting bitchy people won't stop thinking you are the most glorious thing on the planet. Oh and here's a biggie; if someone is having fun and joking around, instead of sitting on your high horse and being a moody bore, why don't you join in?! Maybe that stick up your ass will fall out.

Cops

Why do cops have to be complete arrogant disrespectful douche bags when they are speaking to everyone? I think this is probably what the manual for cops looks like for interacting with the public during routine traffic stops: #1. walk up to the car looking like you're about to take down a rapist even though it's probably a 100 lb. girl or an old man. #2 make sure you make them feel like they HAVE just killed or raped somebody even though they just made an illegal u-turn or have a headlight out. #3 Make them try to guess why they've been pulled over. #4 Be a dick as much as possible during the conversation even if the person is being cooperative. #5 Take as much time as possible writing the ticket while back in your police car so that the person who you are writing the ticket for is forced to wait. Do this especially if they are being pulled over for speeding and are going to be late for work. #6 Give the ticket to the person and be sure to TEACH THEM A LESSON in an annoying way. #7 Go back to police car feeling as much self satisfaction as possible while totally missing the someone getting mugged behind you.

The Letterman CRISIS

It's so aggravating that people will just pounce on an issue and won't let it go. I understand that what David Letterman said was out of line. But, GET OVER IT! They were showing the picketers outside CBS and people yelling about how Letterman had a bastard son and that Letterman was a pervert etc. UM, do you think calling Letterman's son a bastard child is politicly correct in any way? The anger on those people's faces are amazing. We all need to become a little less sensitive all around. He did apologize and Palin accepted. There are SO many more serious things to focus on than that. Everyone has to be a victim and I think that's the real issue.

GET OUTTA MY HOUSE!

I got a note from the landlord that "Between the times of 10am to 4pm it will be necessary for the owner/agent to enter your dwelling unit for the following reasons..." and then number 3 is checked which says "Exhibit the dwelling to prospective or actual purchasers." Are you F-ing serious? Of course it's on my day off. So then I have to figure out where to sit/stand akwardly while someone walks around my apartment. Boo. This probably doesn't bother most people. I don't know where it comes from but, I'm very territorial. I'm like an old lady and I'm only 27. Get outta my house damnit!

What's Wrong With You?

Why do people point out other peoples flaws to them? Do they not know that it's rude and probably going to hurt that person's feelings? For example if someone has a pimple, there's really no need to point it out, because I'm pretty sure they probably already know about it. Thaaanks...
Is it OK if they tell you that you're ignorant? No, you'd probably freak out on them.

Your Kids Aren't Cute

I CANNOT stand when parents let their kids run around reeking havoc in public places. Parent's will just let their kids do anything they want to do. There is something seriously wrong with that. Also, don't let your kid make my job or anyone else's job harder. I'm not a server anymore but, just so you know server's hate when kids are at there table. Do you want to know why? It's because they are allowed to throw food on the ground, smear food on anything with a surface area and run around the restaurant getting in your way when you're balancing things.

Tabloid Mayhem

America has gone crazy. This Jon and Kate plus Eight business has gotten out of control. Its so weird that we latch onto these stories and the media pounds us over the head with it. Does anyone actually believe it when US weekly or Star says that Angelina and Brad broke up for the millionth time? And when they inevitably do get divorced they will say "see? We told you here first". Well yeah you did. Weekly for about 2 years now.

Dear Rich People

Dear Rich People Who Have Not Worked For Your Money,
You didn't earn your money and you never worked for it. So that holier than thou attitude that you're touting around is making me want to throw up in my mouth. Why don't you try doing something productive? No never mind, you'll probably just ask your Dad to get you a job and end up as a CEO or something you don't deserve.
Sincerely,
Me

Where Do These People Come From?

Where do all of these stupid people work? They don't seem to be able to perform normal daily activities without someone guiding them through it, and making people crazy. You know what? Actually they are probably really important positions that we are entrusting them with sadly enough. The crazy stupid ones are sometimes running the world. Look at George Bush.

Flexing Authority

I hate when people tell me what to do. I can't help it, I just do. It's just that I know how to do my job. I don't mind when it's constructive but, when it's just to hear themselves talk and feel important about themselves it gets on my nerves. PEOPLE LLLOOOOOVVVEEE AUTHORITY. Once they get a little bit of authority they go crazy and I can't stand it. Don't get me wrong, a leader is great but, there's a way to do it and a way not to do it.

Rain in LA is pandamonium!

Oh no, it's raining. Be sure to drive rediculously slow and still manage to get into an accident. I understand that the first rain of the year you have to be careful because of the oil on the road but you are not driving on ice. God forbid you ever do because I'm not sure anyone would ever survive.

Boyfriend Gripe

I purposefully bought durable plates so that they would survive my boyfriend and they didn't even make it a full 24 hour period before one of them was chipped. Two days before that he fell on our bedroom lamp.

Look At Me I'm Important

Get your bluetooth off your ear people. We don't think you're important, we just see you as desperate.

03.

Manners

Maybe it is because I work near Beverly Hills, but, WHY DOESN'T ANYBODY HAVE MANNERS? People don't say hi back when you say hi, they don't say thank you, they're texting and on the phone when you are trying to help them... If you are rude to me I'm going to be rude back, I've been in retail way too long to deal with it. Plus, if you're mean to them they'll start being nice to you. It's weird.

Dr. Gripe

I hate going to the doctor. There are an awful lot of times when they can't figure out what is wrong with you. They also don't seem to try very hard either. I have more passion about trying to find the right makeup for someone than they do about finding out what's wrong or finding the right medication. And don't give me the medication that you have a advertised on your pencil holder either. I don't need you giving me a medication just because the drug company that manufactured it sent you on a cruise!

Crazy People Gripe

I was in Target the other day and a woman followed by her husband came walking down the aisle and crashed into the wall in front of her with her cart. Then, she jerked her cart back on track and 2 seconds later crashed into an unmanned cart and just kept pushing it until it was out of her way. What?! What?! What?! OK, it's just beyond me.

Celebrity Gripe

I like making fun of celebs just as much as the next person but, if they are 50 and have a little bit of of cellulite or a gut, leave them alone.

Political Gripe

I Love that FORMER vice president Dick Cheney got mad at PRESIDENT Obama for going over his speech time because it cut into his time! Yeah because the American people really want to hear about the things you've already repeated 100 times, more than what the president has to say.
Also why do the republicans keep suggesting that we are just going to set all of the detainees from Gitmo free when any rational person understands that we are just going to move them to a maximum prison here? I have the answer to that. It's because they think that we are stupid and that we will believe them if they all keep reading from the same script. It's sooo frustrating!!!
