Who Has Pissed Me Off This Year

As we round out the year 2001, I want to take a look back and list all those that have pissed me off during the past year. I will not mention those by name but by profession, group or category. Sometimes those who find themselves named in a negative column get all bent out of shape and pissy.

That is my first group of people that have pissed me off. Those who always want to be anonymous. Why? Why not stand up and take your lumps? You'll stand in a microsecond to take your credit and compliments. Be mature, be an individual and be responsible.

Truck drivers who feel the need to grab on to the bumper of a car on the highway and flash their headlights. In trucker talk that means "Get out of my way!!" I got news for you, trucker. If you want to get ahead of me on the road, be on the highway before I am. Don't flash your lights. That is so childish. That makes you look like a 5-year-old. I have started taking plate numbers of those light flashing trucks and passing them along to the police. You will be hearing from them.

This next category includes a lot of people. You'll know if you are in this category by simply denying you are like this. The folks I am referring to are the ones who think rules are for everyone else but them. Well, when did you get to be so f***ing special? What sets you apart from the rest of us, law abiding, and rule respecting folks? You are no better than the freakin' truck drivers. "Everything has to be my way because I am the best of the best and everyone should just kiss my ass because I am me." Here is a news flash, bucko. You are going to find yourself lost in the shuffle because you will get no respect from the rest of us. You will become a non-entity in this world and will live your final days scrubbing the crap off your ass left by those who don't brush their teeth before kissing your gluttonous posterior section. Enough said.

Store clerks who feel the need to carry on personal business (pb) while trying to carry on with store business. "Hey, check out girl, put down the f***ing phone while ringing up my order. I don't care who is doing what to whon while customers are lining up to pay for their purchases. If anything, you are encouraging shop lifting. Customers being made to wait while you take care of pb, are getting a message that you don't care. Customers will not care either and walk out the door with what they want. Employers, take notice of your employees.

Dunkin Donuts has a wonderful coffee item called "Box of Joe." It is a 10-cup box of coffee that comes with cups, lids, sugar, cream and stirrers. I purchase a Box of Joe quite often. It is a convenient way to buy a lot of coffee without trying to balance 3 trays of individual coffee. I buy my Box of Joes at a Dunkin' Donuts in Weymouth, MA., at the Caldor Plaza. (Even though Caldors is no longer and it is Ames, I will still refer to it as Caldor Plaza) Every time I get a certain Dunkin' Donut Hostess, or what ever they are called, (you know who you are) and order a Box Of Joe, she rolls her eyes and the look on her face says, "This is to much of an inconvenience. Why don't you take your business some place else." News Flash: Mr. DD Manager, I might do just that only it won't be Dunkins I go to. More than enough said.

Those without an appointment who demand to be seen before those that took the time to make an appointment should be thrown out a window. Why should I have to wait to see my doctor or health care professional because you learned no manners and have no respect for anyone? Don't try to jump in line in front of me. You will find yourself on the receiving end of a complete intestinal shower. Don't know what that means? Meet me at my next appointment and try to go ahead of me. Make sure you have a box of Depends on hand.

That is all I have to report at this time.
