stupid customers

s i have not updated this blog in along time and i feel like i need to so this is probs going to be random considering that im starting to write it at 12:30 in the morning. but i was thinking about all of the stupid customers that come in at work. and i know that this is not a creative rant as there is a whole website dedicated to customer stupidity. but this blog entry is going to be about what customers have said and what i secreatly wish i could say in response.

stupid customer #
1) "hey do you work here"
actual response "yes can i help you"
what i wish i could say *sarcasim* "no i dont, im just standing here in a full uniform that happens to match the uniforms that all the emplyies that work here happend to be wearing. becasue i find it wonderfully fun and joy full to go into stores and fuck people over on my days off when i could be hanging with friends instead of being here"

2) this customer was standing right beside the frige with all the water
"do you sell water"
actual response: "yes it is right beside you, if you wanna grab it i can scan it in"
wish i could say: "did you even look, or are you so uncapable of doing anything that you have to ask without even trying to look for things"

3) "do you sell coffee"
actual response: no sorry but the starbucks right across from us does
wish i could say. "well if you turned around you would notice that the huge fucking store across from this little kiosk actually is a coffee shop. and being a kiosk there is no room for even a simple coffee maker so what makes you think i could make coffee"


thoes are what i wish i could have said now for story time. this stort is called lazy dumby

lazy dumby:

this lady is standing by the chocolate bars stairing at them and she is there for a fair amount of time so i assume that she just trying to decide what it is she wishes to buy. then after 20 minutes she grabs a coffee crisp waves it around and yells "EXCUSE ME.. CAN I GET SOME HELP OVER HERE". i look at her and say "yes, i would be pleased to help you if you could just walk over to the till i can ring in your purchas" "oh" she says. "well i guess that its my job to make things easier for you and not for you to make things easier for me" she walks around to the till and slams the chocolate bar on the counter. i ring it up and she starts to pay for her chocolate. then she continues on how she should not have had to walk around and how i should have come to her and i should have served her. now if this lady was in a wheel chair i would have been glad to do so seeing as the counters on the kiosk are high and its difficult to manuver around but seeing that she is a perfectly healthy female who has the ability to use thoes legs that god so generously gave her i figured she could manage to walk to the till.

any way after several minutes of her lecturing me on crappy service my politeness could only take so much and i looked up at her and said " im sorry mam, but i cannot physically pick up the till and movie it to whicever side of the kiosk that you wish. it is much eaier for you to just walk around". she does not have a response to this so she grabes her chocolate bar and walks off in a huff.

oh the joy of work. i cant wait till the days when i have a job were im actually exsited about going to work instead of dreading it and thinking in the back of my head. what the hell is going ot happen today

people who anny me on the bus

people who annoy me on long bus rides.


1) the girls who wear too much perfume: okay wearing a little bit of perfume is fine but im talking about thoes people were you can smell them as soon as you walk into a room and you feel like your going to sufficate becasue you dont have anymore fresh air. its even worse when they continue to spray themselfs during the bus ride and you start coughing from the stench but they still dont take the hint. this happend to me once on an hour long bus ride from my house into victoria. dear god i wanted to punch this women in the back of the head because she was sitting right infront of me. why did i not move you ask? because the bus was full. why did i not open a window? because i was up stairs on a dubble decker. that was not fun. i spent the entire trip breathing into my sweater just so i did not have to smell her overpowering perfume. lets just say yes, i did take a big deep breath of fresh air as soon as i got off the bus.

2) people who open the windown during winter (cold, rain): this pissis me of because usualy the bus drive himself has to blast the heat just to keep people warm. and then some idiot who desides that he wants "fresh air" has to open the window. and when you ask them to close it they dont listen to you then just tell you to move away from the window. or there is the other senario for me were the person who opend the window is one of thoes bus creepers who you dont even want to talk to. there are also the ones who open the window who are big intimidating men, and me being a small cowerdly female dont have the guts to ask them to close the window. so in that perspective i guess becuase of my cowerdness i have not right to complain. but in all the other cases you find yourself sitting there shivering becuase this person wanted to open the window. also the onse that say they are too hot and are wearing like five layers. if your too hot, do every one else on the bus a favor and please take off your jacket, or some of your layers. we do not wanna be cold because of you

3) people who do not respect personal space: okay i get on the bus sometimes it is full and you all have to act friendly and squish together. it is understandable especially when your one of the people on the bus who is standing. but i do not get people really getting into your personal space when you have your own seats. ill give an example. so yesterday i was on the express but going down to school. and then this older lady sat beside me. normaly i prefure that if i have to sit beside someone on the bus that it be an older person. cause you can talk with them about stuff. and there is usualy less a chance that they will be a creeper. but this old lady sat down beside me pulled food out of her bag started eating and then was partially leaning over me so she could look out the window. i know i should have just asked her to traid seats that would have been a problem solver. but really lady, come on. if you want the window that bad you can ask. i dont need your food crumbs to fall into my lap just because you want to see view out of the bus window. its kind of annoying.

4) creepiers: if you have ever taken the bus you know these people. not to be sterotypical but all the creepiers on the bus are usualy men. its rare that i have run into a female creeper. they are the onse that will get on the bus and kinda stager. not becuase they have a mental dissability or anything but becasue they are sometimes drunk and its not that its a bad thing for people who have had to much to drink to get on the bus. but its the people that look dirty, smell bad, give you the really creepy vibes like oh my god please dont sit beside me please dont sit beside me. and its the fact that you probs on the 2 in the afternoon bus and they smell of alchole. I find that whenever i have the option for a double decker bus i go up stairs. it seems to wean out the creepiers. they dont go up stairs as often. i know i sound really judging people who might just be having a hard time in life. but like i said if you have ever taken a bus. especially if your female and you have taken the bus alone you know thoes vibes were your like hmmm something is wrong with that person. please for the love of god do not let them sit beside me.



those are all the people i have for now. im sure anyone who reads this can think of more types of annoying people on the bus. feel free to give me your examples in the comments.

the attack of the purity ring

this is just a disclaimer before people read this. thoes who are sensitive to my sort of talk which involves sex. dont read. although in my mind this post is very tame:

a question that came to my mind becasue of addy and karen

what would you do with a drunken sailer early in the morning?

the lovely bones

i read a book this weekend that i really enjoyed and found interesting. it was called the lovely bones. its basically about a girl who is fourteen. its the seventies. and in the begining of the book she gets raped and murdered by her neibour. the rest of the book is about her family coping in its different ways. welll the book is being nararated by the murderd girl whose name is suzie. i thought it was a really interesting book the way that it showed how her family tryed to cope with the murder. and it was also showing how carefully the neibour who murdered his was covering her tracts.

( warning spoilers so if you wish to read this book without knowing what happens further i suggest your stop reading this blog post. but if you dont care then read on)

throughout the book suzies dad suspects that it was the neibour all along and is trying to prove it. doing anything to find evidence. walking his dog past the house in the middle of the night trying to see if there is anything suspect. and also his other daughter who is still alive suspects it was that neibour also so she actually breaks into the guys house trying to find evidence and of course gets out of the house just in the nick of time. the book goes through the lives of the boy she liked who also happend to be her first kiss shows how he is coping and it shows how sometimes two people who might have not even acknolaged each other before seem to find each other when some one they both know dies. and how the people that seemed like her true friends dont seem that sad they just easily move on with there life.

all in all i thought it was a really good book. it keeped me drawn and a managed to read it in two days. which is good considering that i am a slow reader all in all.

although the book was good i dont think that i would read it again. this is mainly because i was disapointed in the ending. the ending did not satisfy me. i think this was mainly because every thing did not end up being perfectly fine with suzies family. as well as the fact that even though the person reading the book knows perfectly who killed suzie. the murderer gets away with it. he is never caught. although he does get killed by an icecle , from it falling on him. at the end of the book when he movies away but it still does not seem like justice enough.

i mean here is a family in this book that is compleatly suffering over the loss of there 14 year old daughter. there 13 year old daughter who is still alive ends up being talked about at school as the dead girls sister and going through that alot of her life because she is growing up in a small town.

suzies younger brother buckly starts off being an emo 4 year old over the loss of his favorite sister and by the end of the book he is a frustrated 12 year old who hates his family and wishes everyone would move on and have a normal life. his point of view is yes she is gone. and we are all still sad but fuck just move on (me paraphrasing of course)

then there is suszies mom who compleatly breaks when this happens. she realizes she never wanted to be a stay at home mom she wanted to work, she wanted to travel. she wanted to get out and do something. so in the middle of the book she cant take it anymore after loosing her daughter she just up and leaves. and you dont see her again till the end

then there is suzies father who because off all this has and emo family and has lost his favorite daugher (he does not say it but its implyed) and now his wife. of course she comes back but the family never gets fully back together.

every thing seems in shambles. i think the book might be to realistic for me. i think thats why i did not like the ending. were the family is still a bit broken and the murderer gets away. i know the author is probably trying to show that, that is real life. the bad guys dont always get caught. and things dont always work out. and sometimes you have to really really struggle through mass amounts of pain. in hopes of one day just finding a little bit of joy.

i prefure the happy endings that is why i read fiction. i dont like to read emo. although im sure i learn more from it.

anyway that is why the ending of the book was disapointing. i guess the one good happy ending for this book was the fact that suzie who was nararating after seeing her murderer get killed by and icicle and her family managaing to grab onto a little bit of hope. she herself could move on. go to "heaven". instead of being stuck watching her family and friends for about 8 years.

i still wish there was justice. i wanted to see the bad guy caughts. i wanted to read justice. but like i said. i think the author was trying to make the point that, thats not realy life. sometimes things dont get compleatly better.

either way I'm still a sucker for happy endings

Silverstein - True Romance lyrics

I'm not here to judge you

I'm just here to tell you what you have done wrong.

Beautiful girl looking her best, takes off a towel,
Puts on a dress.
Fixes her hair to look good for someone.
Waits in a car to go to a motel.
...to a motel.

I may not always be perfect.
But I'll always try.
Will you say your prayers, just to be honest with yourself?
Will you save your soul? Is this what you wanted all along?
Husband can't bear to just lie to himself.
Stock market falls and he loses it all,
He sleeps alone for the third time this week.
He's become numb, he just wants this to be.

I may not always be perfect.
But I'll always try.
Will you say your prayers, just to be honest with yourself?
Will you save your soul? Is this what you wanted all along?

Blood on the floor.
What have you done?
Heart in your hands.
What have you done?

I may not always be perfect.
But I'll always try.
Will you say your prayers, just to be honest with yourself?
Will you save your soul? Is this what you wanted all along?

Beautiful girl sleeps by herself.
Half the bed's cold, she knows it's her fault.
She's given in and admitted defeat.
She'll be fine.
