Other People's Kids

Ok, so I have reached the conclusion that I don't like other people's kids...and as mean as that sounds, I really do feel like I'm justified.

When I go into a store, I can't stand when some bad *ss child is throwing a fit in the middle of it. I don't want to hear that sh*t! My child is not acting like that. If you are out in public, and your child starts actin a damn fool, the most logical thing to do is either pull them to the side and get them straight or take them home. And if you feel like you are not strong enough to deal with all that drama, feel free to ask somebody in the store (whose kids are acting like they have sense) to handle it. I am sure they would be happy to.

Now, other people's kids not only act up in stores, but they do it wherever they feel they are allowed to. Like daycare! This morning when you dropped your child off, they were well behaved and well-mannered...now, because they have been around other people's kids who don't know how to act, they want to bring that sh*t home. WTF!!! Now you have to bring your child back to reality.

So here is my point...if you have bad *ss kids that don't know how to act, maybe just maybe you as a parent should sit down and figure out how to get some control. If you tell so-and-so to be quiet and sit down, and they are bold enough to tell you no GET IN THEIR *SS!!!

Leave A Message!!!

Have you ever had someone call you 5 or 6 times in one day, and instead of leaving a message, they hang up and continue to call?! Then, when you finally get back to them, you find out they didn't really want anything? This drives me up the wall. If you are guilty of this habit, STOP!!!

There is this thing called voicemail...it is a free service provided by most cell phone companies. All you have to do is press 1 (sometimes you don't even have to do that much), just listen for the beep, and say what you are calling for. Please feel free to use it! If the person you call is busy, they can check their message and determine how important the call is. If it is nothing, then they'll know to get back to you when they are actually able to answer their phone.

It's just phone courtesy people!!!

"Hey Girl"

What idiot thought yelling "hey girl" was a good idea?! Look, if you don't know somebody, and you want to have the slight chance of knowing them, perhaps the best thing to do is walk up to them and introduce yourself, then you ask their name. Most of us learned this in daycare/kindergarten. Don't yell "hey girl" from across the mall and expect a decent female to respond! It's not cute, it's actually very rude. If you can't pull your pants up, and walk your lazy *ss over to the female you are trying to address, then you don't need to address her at all. And you really can't get mad if she doesn't respond to your stupidity!

On the other side, if some guy is yelling at you in order to get your attention, that means he has personal problems that he needs to deal with. You are too good to respond to that, and even if you feel like this is acceptable-STOP!!! You are the ones who have these guys thinking this approach is a good idea! The end result is we have a bunch of grown men in the mall yelling at every female they come across, ruining the shopping experience for those of us who know better!

"New" Radio Station

Ok so why or how is it that these radio stations keep calling themselves new? Are you really new when you've been on the air for 10+ years?! I feel like that's fully grown in the media world. Hiring new people every other week, doesn't make you new. I believe the term is "high turnover!"

And while we are on the subject of radio...why is it when a new song comes out, they are all talking about, we have that "new exclusive?!" I just heard it on the other station 2 DAYS AGO!!! And it's not new when I heard it on the cd 2 months ago. AND, OMG, It's not exclusive when EVERYBODY is playing it. Exclusive does not mean everybody!!! It never has, and that is not going to change, just because the dj said.

Apartment Hunting

Ok so some of you may or may not know, I am in the process of relocating... So while I was doing my apartment search, a lot of commonsensicals came about.

For some random reason at almost every apartment I went to, I was asked the same question? What is your price range for an apartment? Umm, if the price of the apartment is $700/month does it matter what my price range is? If I asked for a rent-free apartment, would there be room for negotiation?! I don't know if this is a part of their training program or what, but the question is sooo horribly unnecessary!!! How about you tell me how much the apartment is and I'll let you know if that will work for me.

Moving on...so, on one of my visits I witnessed one of the leasing consultants getting cussed out by a tenant. It was too funny (to me), but I'm sure the other lady didn't feel that way- she called the police. Within minutes the K9 unit showed up. Great police response time (lol)! Great first impression for a potential tenant (tone of sarcasm). Needless to say, I will not be a future resident.
