So here's the deal. Some things have been really getting to me lately, and this might be one of like 3 ways I can get it out. I've pretty much given up on the idea of "acting", I apparently can't write for shit, and I'm about as good at writing/playing music as Stevie Wonders is at hunting.
see what i did there? anyways.
I present to you, the 5 people that will read this and probably click the back button quickly....
Sean's List of Pissing-ME-Off stuff -
1. Mr. Stands RIGHT in Front of the Elevator Doors as I'm Exiting.First off, GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY. I get it. You want to be on the elevator as soon as possible. But why, when an elevator obviously is coming from a different floor, wouldn't you first thought be "oh, I bet people might be on this elevator. I might want to move out of the way". Now, here's my other beef.
Once you see that I am clearly standing in the elevator and am trying to exit....WHY DO YOU STILL KEEP WALKING INTO THE ELEVATOR! It's not rocket science. You see, I am leaving the elevator. There is only one way in and out......and it's the same way you are using to get it. But here's the kicker. You can't get in......if I don't get out first. See how that works?
2. Mr. and Mrs. Cross the Street Anytime You Please.I don't even have a bit of "remorse" or "understanding" with this one. Either use a crosswalk or get the fuck out of my way. I shouldn't have to stop in the middle of rush hour traffic and get honked at because you want your smokes but can't be bothered to walk to the corner where the fucking store is anyways.
PS. There are these new things called Sidewalks too. Try them.
3. Mr. I Don't Like Something Simply Because it's Popular.OK....what? You don't like this movie/song/band/book because other people like them? Are you seriously that much of an egomaniac that you now have to only enjoy things that are in the minority? Are you so superior to the rest of us that your tastes must be untouchable? Please let someone pop the God Complex you've got and fast.
NEWSFLASH! I enjoy the Beatles. Millions of people all over the world enjoy the Beatles. Does that make them mean less to me? Does that make them less enjoyable? No. So whatever "reason" you could possibly come up with for not liking something because it's popular is nothing but bullshit.
4. Mr. Repeats The ObviousThis one has it's exceptions, but the general idea is the same. You don't like something.....or someone......or you do like something....or someone. You've stated it once.....and I got it. You brought it up again.....and once again, I got it. If you seriously bring up the same topic....for a third time...and there's been no new developments....nothing new added to this adventure you keep spewing.....just stop talking.
I'm not saying I'm not interested in other people's lives. I am. I like listening and am happy to be an open ear to those around me. But for the love of God, if I've heard it before, why do you keep bringing it up? Our conversation isn't going to go differently. You are going to say something, and I'm going to react.
IF YOU KEEP SAYING THE SAME SOMETHING, I'M GOING TO REACT THE SAME WAY.
I don't think I could put it better than that.
5. Cell Phone Auto TextingSo, I noticed in my manual that you "adapt" to the words I use the most......really? I have to use the word "if" at least once every day. So why do you keep suggesting the word ME? I would understand if I used ME a lot. But I don't...and the reason I know I don't is because I have to switch from ME to IF every time I try to type IF.
Same goes with OF. I rarely use that word....so why would it magically be the word I want to use?
6. Email Spell CheckI don't really have a bone to pick with Spell Check. I try to use it all the time.....but you know, it's kind of demeaning. I used to be under the impression that I had this English thing down. Apparently, I don't. Sure, I can type fast, but what does that add up to when you have the spelling and grammar skills of a 11 year old?
7. Mr. or Mrs. I'm Upset Because of the Bad Tip I Got.Just a quick bit of advice for anyone who is currently a waiter/waitress or might be one in the future. Just because you got a bad tip or no tip at all.....does not mean that I'm going to give you a tip for shitty service.
I'm not sure what it says in the employee's hand guide, but I'm willing to bet money that no where does it say "If you get a bad tip, feel free to treat the next set of customers like crap. They'll completely understand and give you a tip too!"
Give me a break, grow up, and understand that you are working in an industry that might bite you in the ass a time or two. Maybe think about those hard working people at McDonald's or something. No one ever works at McDonald's because they want to. They have to put up with pushing and rude people almost every hour of the day, making minimum wage, and they don't even get tips.
Maybe instead of thinking "I can't believe they didn't give me a tip! What jerks!", you could try thinking "
Hmm, they didn't give me a tip. Maybe I should try thinking of what I might have did wrong or just chalk this one up as a jerk and leave it at that".
8. Skate ShoesOK, my main issue here is actually with the parents that buy their kids these shoes. Do us all a favor, and either throw them away or teach your child to stop fucking running into me at
Wal Mart. Now I don't feel like I have any right to tell parents what they should or should not buy their kids. But if you aren't going to teach them manners with these new fancy toys, who will?
9. Skittles GumWhen did Skittles Gum go away? And here's a better question. Why? Skittles Gum was amazing, even if I always ended up accidentally swallowing it because of it's amazing taste. OK...so maybe not always accidentally, but that's not the point. Also, I don't honestly feel like I should have
received any kind of notice. I don't work for Mars or anything. I guess I'm just going through the motions.
10.Lazy PeopleDid you know you can purchase things from a gas station online and have them delivered to your house?
Seriously....why? Have we as a culture become so lazy that we can't even hop in a car and run to a gas station? America has been the forefront in creating a world that caters to those that live in it. Now, while this may seem like a modern marvel, it's not. We are all just fucking lazy.

I think that's all for now. so yeah...that was nice.
