Just a need to vent about things i see out there in the real world (specifically the local Mall) that I find stupid and annoying.
Overweight teenage girls at the mall wearing hip-hugger jeans and really tight shirts. I really do not want to look at the rolls of baby fat pouring over the jeans from any angle, if you are a size 16, wearing jeans and shirts meant for someone that is a size 7 is never going to make you look attractive. I have no problem with ladies who have a little extra, in the proper clothes bigger gals can look really pretty (Anna Nicole Smith when she modeled for Guess Jeans, Marilyn Monroe etc) but please dress appropriately to your body size.
Teenage Guys whose pants are hanging below their tale ends. I am not interested in what kind of underwear you have on, nor do I want to see that vertical smile. If you do not have money for a belt, I will be happy to buy you one, pull those damn things up!
Men who have "Back Breasts" (you know who you are) and try to wear muscle shirts in public. Dudes repeat after me " I am not built like Brad Pitt, Christian Bale (Batman) or Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and I will keep my arms and my belly covered, in public, unless I am at the swimming pool, work in constuction, or am mowing the yard in summer" Just like with above I think big boys can look just fine when dressed appropriate to their frames. The Casual Male store is awesome. I am a big stout guy myself and take full advantage of all the great discounts I can get there.
5'2 Women driving Suburbans, Expeditions, Sequoias etc.. Can these ladies even see over the damn steering wheel? What the hell are you planning to tow with that thing? I guess you need the extra ground clearance to hop over curbs. Mind you there are a few (like <1%) that actually see anything other than asphault and may tow a boat or some jet skis. Why does anyone think a vehicle shaped like a shoebox is in anyway eloquent or stylish. In addition to contributing to global warming for no good reason, none them can park straight. It is true, everyone of these vehicles is parked crooked in the parking lot and usually 3 inches from the door of another car in the adjacent parking space.
5'2 Seventy Year old plus Women driving Lincoln Town Cars, Crown Victorias, old Caprices or some other land barge that should require a boating license. See above rant as far as not being able to see over the dashboard and parking. They look like a 5 year old trying to pilot a cruise ship.
Just as stupid, a 6'3 350Lb guy crawling out of a Mini or a Civic or Miata. Have you ever seen the movie "The Incredibles" When the very big former super hero Mr. Incredible stuffs himself into a subcompact, yeah it looks something like that, not cool.
When I am shopping, I really do not want to hear about who your sister slept with last week. Do people have any shame anymore? I am talking about people loudly carrying on yapping on the cell phone while I am trying to make a purchase decision. I guess we just HAVE to use the 5000 free minutes on the plan, while standing next me. If I want to hear sordid details of your personal life or that of your friends, I would start a conversation with you myself.
People taking ten minutes to text what they could say in 30 seconds. I am suprised that Apple, Blackberry et al are not sued for people wearing out their thumbs.
"PDA" If I want to watch couples makeout, I can go rent a porno, please get a room and a clue!!
Parents who try to ignore their kids when they act up! For God sakes be parents and shut those damn brats up. Hearing all that cacophony makes me only imagine the headache these parents have when they are at home. Glad I do not have any myself.
Store Clerks who cannot make eye contact and mumble. I know that these jobs do not pay that well, but I am already having to pay thirty bucks for a shirt that costs less that a dollar to sew together in Chinese sweat shop by a eleven year old kid (yes clothing is the biggest consumer rip off going), at least have the decency to sell it to me with a smile.
Thirty minutes of drama over a chipped fingernail and yes that is how truly petty our society has become. Seeing displays like this, I am convinced that the events portrayed in the movie "Idiocracy" will come to pass and that Western Civilization is truly on the brink of anihilation.
Sorry just woke up cranky!!
