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.
