What's with the annoying people?

The sun is shining, kids are in school, and the world feels generally groovy if you don't turn on the news.

So what is it with people being so annoying lately. Yesterday I had to boot someone from PointBuzz for calling Pete a stupid drunk (and partly for being annoying). I don't remember the last time I had to boot anyone from there. Then today we had to keep deleting posts by a guy who insisted he should be allowed to sell tickets in the forum, which we've never allowed. Which part of, "It's my house," is not easily understood?

Then today, two Barbies walk into a Chipotle. The first one I hold the inner door for, and she's giving shy body language so I don't think anything of it. The second one, tall, tan and hot is in that questionable distance range where you're not sure if you should hold the door (unless perhaps she was an expectant mother). But the sun is shining, and I'm in no hurry to get back to work, so I hold the door. She just flat out fucking ignores me. Annoyed, I tell her, "You're welcome."

I've also had situations at work as of late where processes and expectations for people I work with are just utterly not met, even though they're relatively easy things to meet. As if I need another reason to be annoyed at work when it's so super awesome outdoors.

I'm going to chalk it up to the full moon and go about my business.

I was at Chipotle and had a barbie issue as well...odd.

The two college-aged girls in front of me both asked "umm...can I have like a liiiiittle bit more? No a little more" at each stage of the assembly line. Judging by their too-skinny bodies, I doubt they could even finish the monster burritos they had insisted on.

Hi Jeff. I visited your CoasterBuzz site & checked out your link. I had to comment on this. That drives me nuts as well. When you take the extra time to hold the door for someone that clearly you are being thoughful for, & in response they act like they are the queen (or king) of England & that it was your job to stand there & waste your time! Ugh! I have said the same thing to these type..."your welcome!" It happened again a few weeks ago to me at Panaras, but it was two women in their 50's, dressed to the hilt.

When my boys tell me about some new pretty girl they like, the first thing I ask is, "but are they pretty on the inside". Noone (Barbies included) are very attractive after seeing that behavior.

Back to PointBuzz! :)
