Follow-up to: "What's the deal?"

I can't believe it...well I actually can kind of believe it. I ran into the same woman who pissed me off the other day. Earlier in the evening, I was riding the T with a friend and wouldn't you know it, she appeared out of no where at one of the Green Line stations! I decided to be courteous (unlike her) and not make a scene and went about my business, obviously she could care less about what's going on around her. I have to say that things like this happen to me more often than not...I don't know why, it's very strange. I just wish people would be a little more courteous and respectful to one another, is that too much to ask?

What's the deal?

I was so angry earlier today while I was out running some errands. I was buying a birthday card for a friend at a local CVS. First of all, I hate going into this particular CVS...actually I really don't like going into any CVS. Every CVS that I have been in is always so congested and crammed with so much crap that you can't just get in and out. Anyway, surprisingly enough, I found a nice card pretty quickly and went to pay for it at the registers. I usually try to use the automated, self-checkout registers because people usually don't use them and I can make a quick getaway without dealing with the wonderful and helpful clerks (which is a whole different rant for another time), however, today they were both closed. So I got in line behind another customer and waited my turn to pay. As I was waiting, a woman moves in front and next to me off to the left. Now I'm usually pretty courteous and I assumed that she was just going to ask one of the clerks a question...but oh no! This woman got right in front of me and paid for her items...she didn't say anything to me! At that point I was fuming! So I moved over to another line and waited my turn again. As I was waiting, she turns and starts toward me and looks me straight in the eye and says NOTHING! So I say to her..."thanks for getting in front of me in line!" And she just stares at me...she doesn't even say "I'm sorry," "excuse me," or "oh, I didn't see you there," absolutely nothing! What's wrong with people? Now I know that this is not an "Earth shattering" ordeal, but why are some people so inconsiderate and basically stupid? It makes me so mad! Sorry, I just had to vent about this story...because it happens all of the time and I'm so sick of it. Thanks for listening to my rant today...I feel a little better.

What a shock...the mother of Britney Spears has put her parenting book on hold for a little while (actually, it's on hold "indefinitely"). I guess I can't blame her seeing now that she will have to care for not 2, but 3 babies all thanks to her exceptional parenting. Way to go Lynne Spears, you are truly the model parent!

'Tis the season...

If you're having difficulty, like me, finding "holiday" gifts (I'm trying to be PC), here is an interesting list of gift options. Ever thought of adopting a sheep for a family? I'm sure that would make someone's holiday very special. Enjoy!
