Random musings

I was in the sketchy McDonalds by work for lunch. I believe I've mentioned it before...it's the one with a remote control on the fountain drinks. There's a guy sitting in the back corner. Some people might have confused his beard/tattoos/piercings and labeled him a transient, but I could tell by his very expensive grungy clothes that he was more of a rich kid pretending to be homeless. He's got a full size jimmy johns sandwich and an expensive bottle of water in front of him. Not sure what he was doing in there, probably just wanted a place to sit and use wifi.

Anyway, a manager comes over and quietly tells him that the restaurant is for paying customers only. He says "ARE YOU [expletive] KIDDING ME?" and spikes his water bottle into the floor, spraying everywhere. He then whips his sandwich across the dining area and it smokes some little old lady in the back of the head. Mayo all over her. And then he walks out while the manager is apologizing to everyone in sight. This probably belongs in the asshat thread and I felt bad for that lady, but I was laughing my ass off at the entire scene.

I enjoyed that, and hate going to the apple store. I wouldn't direct my angst as much at the apple workers, but at the customer base there. Like there [expletive] is so damn important. I go there every year because my [expletive] Ipod fritzs out and they have to look at it to replace if under warranty or discount a replacement in not.
[expletive] apple. aaannnd the ipod is acting up again, just 2 months this time.


In a different way, it is worse than the DMV office ever was ( in communist Russia.)

Did you think about whipping his ass? or maybe throwing your diet mountain dew at him?

My neighbor, an odd older dude named Duane, works for a buyer for a landscaping company. There are Pepsi cans all over his gravel drive. I think maybe his yard was landscaped at one time but it is definitely feral now. His electric bill accidentally got delivered to my mailbox and I inadvertently opened it; over a grand for one month.
But that's not what I came here musing about. He is gone, or not, at all sorts of random hours. I wonder where he goes.

Selling the dope he's growing in the basement and the meth he's making in the garage.

I'm too old and there's too many guns out there for me to get involved in situations like that anymore.

Only wart and women drink diet mt dew.

i just read somewhere that St Louisans make kids tell jokes for trick or treating... is this true?

absolutely

this is really fascinating

it's weird to me that other places don't do that, you have to earn your candy

As the father of a 10 and 5 year old, I can't fathom wanting to stand there waiting for a kid to tell a joke.

Best rant I've read in quite some time. The other fun thing is for repairs you need an appointment, like you are going to see a doctor. Can't just drop it off. I had to have my wife read this because she has been the one tasked with taking my kids macbook twice in the past year to the store for repairs. They did them, I can't complain about that, but the entire process was horrible. We just saw the Jobs movie last night and when we were walking out we were talking about how awful the apple stores are.
