^Stop going to Wal-mart.
Things that frustrate us all
- Thread starter rhubarbodendron
- Start date
Wal-Mart has better prices, especailly for somebody like me on a budget, and stupid people shop everywhere -- I assure you. There's nobody at the entrance of Publix stopping you and asking to pass a quick I.Q. test.
Please tell me you're kidding.
That's the owner's fault, for letting the animal run wild. The dog is just being a dog.
The superior court denying your request for an excuse for jury duty. I'm the sole childcare provider for my nieces and they think that's "insufficient..."
Being sick and trying to get in touch with my manager, them not being there yet and another manager being a jerk to me about it. Ugh.
Always a good idea, I should think.
If you get interviewed by the lawyers, say "No, I can't be impartial because I'm too angry about being here."
^ And take a helpful tip from George Carlin himself. When they go to interview you, tell them you'll make a terrific juror because you can spot guilty people just like that! 
15 or 20 years ago, I got a mailer for jury duty. I wrote back that I thought everyone was guilty of something.
I never heard from them again.

Well, considering I had a panic attack today worrying about the girls and about everyone else, I might end up with a migraine while there. I do have those, particularly when horribly tense. Which I may be in two months. Tonight, everything is screaming at me.
On the upside, I can say I did my civic duty the next time.
ETA: And now my voice is gone right before the Super Bowl!!!

This may seem silly but because I suffer from season allergies and I finally got an inhaler for my recent bout with bronchitis and I just had to use it! I was hoping to hold on to it because spring is coming up and I will need it then and the medicine was doing fine the past few days but I didn't want to use it yet. It has a counter and I have plenty of puffs left so that is good.
I'd bring the kids with me, then let them run wild. Let them see how "insufficient" a reason that is after the bailiffs have to deal with them climbing their legs.
I hate allergies.
My wife had jury duty a few weeks after our first son was born. She too tried to get out of it also but wasn't allowed to. So she shows up to court, after being their about an hour ask one of the bailiffs where the bathroom was so she could go pump. The bailiff asks if she is breast feeding and she says yes. He told her to hold on and he would be right back. A few minutes later he motions her to come with him, he hands her a piece of paper with jury duty fulfilled and shows her to a side door where she can get to the parking garage easily.
The girls might enjoy the civics lesson. Too bad their mother won't let me take them out of school.
Everything. 
I am friendly to people and they pretend I am not even there.
I do what I can to help my family and they act like it isn't enough.
I may be cursed.

^ I learned awhile back that you can't make people happy...or nice, for that matter. Just do your own thing, what makes YOU feel good about yourself, what makes YOU happy,what lets you sleep at night. Everyone else? Fuck 'em.
People are dickish to you because they are, surprise, DICKS. They are unhappy or pissed at the world and it really has fuck-all to do with you. Really. Even people who genuinely like you may occasionally have a bad day and you may occasionally catch some of the shrapnel when they explode.
Basically, everyone can be a total dick from time to time. That's on them.
(Wow, I swore a lot in that reply, didn't I?)
