For those of you who may or may not remember, many months ago I started a list of THINGS THAT MUST GO, or things that have really gotten on my nerves lately. (For those who would like to read the first installment, follow the yellow brick link.) So here it is, everyone – a new installment of the ever-growing list, Things That Must Go! (You know, there is some sick pleasure in ranting, and it’s been quite a while since I’ve added to my list.) So here they are, the most recent things that have been bugging me lately . . .
- Finicky wireless internet connections. Not only are they an annoyance if they cut out in the middle of your surfing, but it sucks the big one if it gives up on you in the middle of doing an assignment for one of your online classes. Suckfest extraordinaire.
- Snow! Ice! Cold! Winter! Dammit!
- The Euro and its growing strength against the dollar. My Spain plans have all been cancelled because the Euro keeps getting stronger, and that means I (in comparison) keep getting poorer, while I’m still earning money. What happened to the US being the biggest, baddest country in the world? I’d like a return to that, please.
- Dishonest people, who lead you on and suck out your soul (and your money) little by little. Stupid girls.
- Old ladies who think they are the exception to every rule and that every person should bow to their will. (Now, I know there are plenty of young ladies that way, and guys of all ages, but I’ve had a lot of run-ins lately with the old biddies . . .) The other day as we were closing up the drive-through at the bank, this crotchety old lady came and knocked on the window (the blinds were already down) and demanded that we do her transaction for her THAT VERY MOMENT. Now, both my and my coworker’s computers were already off and our money put away for the evening, so there was no way I was pulling all that crap out again. So I put on my best fake effeminate voice and told her, “I’m sorry, our computers are off, and you can only turn them on once a day unless you want to call the IT guy. And let me tell you, the IT guy has the hots for me. Last year for the bank Halloween party, I wore a speedo, and every time I’ve talked to him since, he’s always like, ‘so, how about last Halloween?’ I really don’t want to have to call him.” The old biddy’s eyes just bigger and bigger, until she said, with aversion reeking from her sneer, “I’ll just come back tomorrow.” That’s right, lady, take a hike.
- Did I mention winter?
- Dollar bills. They are always disgusting. We need to grow up already and move to the dollar coin – at least you can’t wad that up into the smallest possible space and then hand the wad of miniscule, wet nastiness to the bank teller. We’ve got these fancy-pantsy coins with Sacajawea on them, NOW START USING THEM! AND THAT’S AN ORDER!
- Moving. It’s such a hassle, and my father doesn’t want to hire anyone to help, so we just take little car load after little car load up to the new house, and don’t get much done at all. Could this possibly take any longer?
