Even 550 miles away, they follow me.
Bell ringer from hell
Now, I don't know anyone who actually likes the bell ringers... debates over the efficiency of donations to the Salvation Army aside, I think we can all agree that ringing noise is annoying beyond belief, how the bell ringers don't lose their sanity is a... oh never mind, they apparently have started losing it.
I was walking into Wal-Mart and saw one of the bell ringers approach a shopper walking out, the shopper said, "I already donated to (other homeless assistance organization), I can't afford to donate to you too."
This apparently was the wrong answer because the bell ringer followed the poor bloke towards his car, and I couldn't hear everything, but the final bit I did hear loud and clear when the bell ringer shouted "You're just a greedy pig who cares more about buying cheap made in China crap than helping the less fortunate" (note, the man had nothing but groceries in his cart that I could see) and he told her to off.
I don't know what happened between then and when I exited the store, but about the time I was leaving I saw an LP person telling the bell ringer that she was being evicted from the store and that she wasn't permitted to return, to please have Salvation Army send someone else in the future.
Make up your mind already!
I love Port of Subs, I love them for two reasons. The first of course being that they fresh slice everything to order (unlike a certain other "Sub" chain), second reason being that they follow the keep it simple rule... yes, they do have 15 meat combination on the menu, but they only have three breads (wheat, white, and sourdough), three sauces (mustard, mayo, and a combination of the two), six vegetables (peppers, olives, pickles, lettuce, tomato, and onion), and of course oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and oregano, that's it. What they lack in unnecessary variety, they more than make up with the high quality of the ingredients that they do use. So, why in the name of Zuess's butthole does it take longer than 30 seconds to decide what you want on your sandwich after you've chosen what meat combination that you want?!?! Seriously, I got stuck behind this woman who took no less than 3 minutes heeing and hawing over what toppings she wanted... YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT OF PORT OF SUBS!
A puzzling trend
Twice in 5 minutes today I saw people move out of lanes that continued and into lanes that were going to end within a few hundred yards. They weren't trying to make a jack ass pass around someone, they just calmly moved over and a few hundred yards when the lane ended, moved back. Seriously,
on a (mostly) completely positive note
My mom has started physical therapy (which sucks, but is still positive because originally they thought she wouldn't be ready for it until January, so this is great news that she is able to start so soon). Where she is going to therapy is where UNR sends it's athletes that suffer sports injuries
Why hello soccer player... I'd be glad to help you stretch your muscles
