Random Sucks

[prb]

Where do I start with this....

At a local McD's-
My friend went in to get some "food" (I sometimes question if McD's products qualify as food, but that's another story), there was a long line and all employees were busy and they were very understaffed, they had 3 employees to run the kitchen and front end, including the manager. Saw a few food safety law violations but thats not the suck here, the suck is the guy in line behind my friend. Who started whispering "Some service would be nice" then kept getting louder and louder until he was yelling. At this point, I walked up to him and said "There are 3 employees, if you wish for faster service perhaps you should apply for employment here", that shut him up quickly.

The 14 year old smoker-
Yesterday I was going to my local Canadian Tire for an outdoor water hose and T-adapter for it. When crossing the street I saw someone 14 at most in the passenger seat of a car with someone who looked like her father driving, they both were smoking, with an open pack sitting on the dashboard.

The Charity Auction-
The local Salvation Army store held an auction Friday. The manager ran the auction and pointed out around 5 times that it was a charity auction and once said that there are two cash registers and one will be used to make it easier to pay for auction purchases. After the auction ended, bidders started forming a line at one of the registers. 15 minutes later, the manager came out and said "Sorry but we need you to go to the back of the line, we need to be fair to every customer" WTF...

There are too many people out there who act like that MD guy. Every single one of them needs to be put in their place.

And i'm just hoping that the 14 year old isn't a fourteen year old at all. I have a friend who is going to be 25 but she's 4'10" and freaking TINY and is often mistaken for a preteen.

Agreed. My cousins are tiny compared to me (I'm about 5'9", they're around 5'2" give or take an inch) and I've heard that everywhere they go, they get mistaken for preteens and asked for ID. (which is understandable as we do Challenge 25 in Australia)

In regards to the McDonalds guy, I loved how you put him in his place. Asshats like that really need to learn when to STFU and realise that there are a limited number of employees, most of them are still in high school/college/community college (TAFE in Australia) on at any one time and that they all cannot pull food out of their asses for you.

I would hope so, but that knowing most 14 year olds I know either smoke or drink, it's quite sad... but the person driving was at least 40 so he was probably her father...

Then he'd be complaining that it tasted like ass.

A couple weeks ago I was heading over to my favorite bar, and I see this kid walking through the parking lot. Kid was maybe 14, absolute most, looked about 10.

Full out wigger-wear of the laughably pretenious sort, (ie, superbaggy pants, brand new $200 sneakers, eminem hoodie, etc [sub-rant: Eminem will NOT think you're cool or have street cred if you pay $150 bucks for a shirt with his face on it.]) And of course the ever-essential super-rediculously-oversized headphones bigger than his actual head.

Kid is walking through the parking lot, SCREAMING gangsta rap at the top of his lungs, smoking a cigar!

Best part, he follows me into the bar, still smoking (illegal here) and tries to get served! Everyone in the bar laughed at him, and the owner gave him the choice of getting off the property asap or getting arrested for tresspassing.

He said that to you? Weren't you buying stuff too? You were a customer, and he asked you to give up your spot in line? I'd have said, "No. I was here, and it's my spot."

Eminem will NOT think you're cool or have street cred if you pay $150 bucks for a shirt with his face on it.

Yes he will. But he'll be alone in that feeling.
