Nowt much
Friday, November 17th, 2006I did show remarkable restraint towards the woman on my row who was apparently watching the movie Borat in her head. While I accept that a few moments in The Departed did warrant an ironic chuckle or two, her full force laughter was never appropriate, even when Martin Sheen died. But I still let her live.
National anthem
Sunday, November 12th, 2006However, the playing of the American national anthem continues to be an issue for me.
Monday
Monday, November 6th, 2006Just come back from Central Market. It took 15 minutes to check out, because they only had one main checkout person. Another 3 were working the 10 items or less aisle, but no-one was buying 10 items or less. Everybody had enough items in their trolleys to make them sufficiently lardy to ‘beat’ me in a plank position contest. And of course they brought their screaming 4 year olds along for the ride.
‘Would you like to help mummy take things out of the cart?’
Don’t be ridiculous. It takes them for bloody ever and they always drops something. If you need help I’ll do it. And you can use the extra time to start writing your check before the last item is rung up. I know, crazy idea.
It’s only 9.45am. I bet the day can get worse.
And yes, before you get judgemental, my problems are insignificant compared to millions of others in the world. But I’m still fucked off.
