Oh, isn't that annoying? Next time some lamebrain tells you to smile, have you thought about giving them the creepiest, leeringest, most villainous smile you can come up with? Or your best Wednesday Addams deadpan stare, and tell them, "I *am* smiling."

There’s a buffet that’s opening in my area. People are really anticipating the opening of it. Some people are starting to get rude about it. One guy is going on the strip mall Facebook page, and is asking about when the buffet will open, on every post this strip mall posts. This mall will post about clothing stores, and grocery stores, stores that have nothing to do with the buffet. This guy will comment on each post “when will the buffet open?” It just seems rude to do that on a page that has nothing to do with it. It just makes yourself sound like a glutton/ someone with a food addiction.

I had this issue yesterday

then the person turned it around and chose words that she knew would make me feel sorry for her (knowing full well she's got no reason to be hurt)

when people lend you something, without actually checking first the item is working or indeed that they've picked up what they were meant to

Well It's not my problem any more - I quit my job last night - but one of the things that really irked me was the unequal division of labour. I was doing more duties than the people paid two and a half times my wage. I was doing more duties than the people hired at the same time and making the same wage as I. Good work gets rewarded with more of it. Where is the monetary reward then?

When people share stuff on Facebook without checking dates. Someone shared a post for an outrageous event that was supposed to take place on the 29th, and 30th of February. This person thought the event was real.

So, there wasn’t a massacre at bowling green? Because I kind of remember that happening too. But apparently, Some news lady misheard or something. Weird. I also remember Men’s Wearhouse being spelled Men’s Warehouse, but I don’t believe any of that other crap, like it being spelled Berenstein instead of Berenstain, and stuff like that.

I was at the store the other day, and I had been there a few times and it was a small store and I knew where everything was. I was very sleep deprived, and also physically sick. I had just gotten off work too. The second I walked into the store a sales employee asked if she could help me. I politely, or at least I thought I was saying it politely that I was just looking. Her eyes narrowed and she had an attitude and she said “ok” in a rude way. I felt bad because I am also a retail worker. But I didn’t think I was being rude. I was silently irked at her attitude towards me. When we left I asked my mom if I was being rude and she said “no you weren’t” I just get irked when sales people hound you the second you get in and then get offended when you don’t want their help. I was at a different store before that, and I was talking to the employees the same way and they were really friendly. As my manager at my last job said “you need to develop tough skin.” But I swear I don’t think was not being rude to her at all.

When people keep going on about something even after you have agreed to do or to not do the thing they asked.

Someone at work told me not to put something somewhere, and I said ok. And she kept going on about it, even though I had already agreed not to do it.

Today, I went into a different store then the one that I work at, to shop. I was looking at some blankets on the shelf. An employee barged up to me, and yelled at me EXCUSE ME! About 3 times, until I moved. I was apparently standing by a phone. I was irked at her behavior. I wish my mom was there who would have said something back to her. I was buying something and using my discount card. So I couldn’t have really said anything myself without getting into trouble. But her behavior was inappropriate considering she didn’t even know I was an employee.

When you spend all afternoon cooking fabulous food for a dinner party and there is always that one guest who sticks up their nose at the food and is not even willing to try it on account it is ethnic and different. Arrrrgh! Well it's their loss I suppose. But they could at least make an attempt. Didn't their mother raise them to do so?

Diet apple juice. 40 calories for the entire 64oz bottle, yet it tastes like water with a slight apple flavoring. It was really disappointing.

Today, my coworker was talking on the phone with her boyfriend, and she had me on the lookout in case the manager came by.

Screw you. Don’t get me involved.

The cost of framing - especially when the picture is a standard size. $444 for a 20X20 frame (NO matte NO glass) is obscene. Too bad the nearest IKEA is a 9hr drive away. Ridiculous.
