People Are Rude

So, recently I've had a few experiences with random strangers that have annoyed me. I guess this is more of a rant.

1) I was at a health and safety meeting for work, and the meeting included my store's employees, along with KW's and Cambridge's stores employees. Most of the employees were teenagers and they continued to interupt the general manager and talk amongst themselves throughout the meeting. It was super annoying. At one point, the general manager asked me a question, and my response was "Yes, I just did it yesterday". The kid beside me scoffs, "Good for you". Uhm...excuse me? How rude! I wanted to slap him, but refrained from doing so, and just gave him a dirty glare instead. Stupid kid.

2) It was a busy day at the store, and I was rushing to take orders and serve costumers their meal at the same time. As I was scurrying around, I ran up to the cash register to take another order from a middle aged woman. "Hi, what can I get you?" I asked. Meanwhile, the lady decides this is prime time for a phone call. She put the phone to her ear and held up one finger at me "Hold on," she mouthed. Uh...no...sorry, the world does not revolve around you. There is a line up behind you, and I have to get people their food, so I can't stand around and wait for you to tell your husband, "I'm at the mall...yeah, just ordering fries...where are you?" I just walked away and then came back when she was done her call. Grr...

3) I was walking home from work one day and crossing through the park. It was dark, seeing as the time was 9:30-ish. A group of teenagers were walking perpendicular to me and I crossed in front of them. Then, I heard from behind me, "Hey, are you a girl? ...Hey! ...YO!" I just ignored them and kept walking. This isn't the first time that has happened to me either. For some reason immature teens feel the need to heckle me. Why? I just don't get it. Just leave me alone, there is no reason to yell random stuff at me. I always ignore them, because what they're looking for is a reaction.

4) Just today, as I was walking home from work, a guy and his girlfriend were just behind me near the mall. I still had my uniform on and the guy says sarcastically, "Haha, nice shirt" and the gf chuckled along. I ignored him, but what I wanted to say was, "Did I ask for your opinion on my uniform? No, I didn't. Now why don't you go home and be a jerk to your girlfriend, which I'm sure she doesn't mind because she seems like one of those ditsy 'blondes' that fall for douches like you."

Stay tuned for more annoying situations with rude, self-centered people!

My thoughts, my thoughts...

Ah...it's been so long. I think my mind is more creative and ready to be shelled out when I'm stressed.

School is so soon. Summer school didn't really count for me. But then again, this summer didn't count as a summer for me because I was in school. I'm confused. Anyway, I can't tell if I always put a negative amount of effort into school or if it was just this summer. One thing I did learn is that I can put minimal amount of work into a course and still pass. Not a good thing to know.

I have begun work again, after almost year of not working at all. It's weird. I like earning money, but work is gross, actually I don't mind it. For some reason I always get stressed out during the hours leading up to my shift. When I get there, I'm fine.

I would like to add that in the past few days I have bought the following items:
- jeans
- t-shirt
- tank top
- shoes
- shoes (yeah, two pairs)
- large mixing bowl
- socks
- sweater
- scarf
- earrings
- necklace
BUT, I only spent $27. Nice work, Vanessa.
