Bogus Crap That Happened

Ok, so I have been away much, much too long, but it is strictly because I have MAJOR issues. There is not a day that goes by that some kind of bullshit doesn't crop up, but it has been a bit much lately. Had Ginormous back injury that put me out of commission off and on for about two weeks' time. During this period of insane agony, I was forced into sitting almost completely still in my dining room chair, praying that I did not need to sneeze, and sweating getting arrested for violating child labor laws, as I had to have the little gal do just about everything for me. Awesome. SO, as that is partially resolved, I have traded it for spring allergies, contacts that I cannot see out of (after 4th visit to eye doctor) and a desperate need to see the dentist (whom I fear with indescribable intensity). Enough bitching now, I just had to fill you all in on why I did that mini disappearing act. So, I'm back. Jen: are you happy now? :)

My question of the day is this, then I am off to a tea party before Hannah Montana comes on......

Why are people idiots? Seriously, everyone out there must see this shit all the time! I know a TON of people that are not idiots, but I seem to encounter the idiots somehow, each and every day, no matter how I surround myself with the non-idiots. Here are a couple of examples of the shit I run into regularly:

1) Am at gas station. Would like to exit gas station and pull into road. Person waiting for red light to change pulls up in front of gas station driveway, making it impossible to make my escape and go home. Now I am required to sit, give evil stare to dumbass blocking the drive, give finger, honk horn, etc. Makes me insane because it happens just about every damn time I am there.

2) Get phone call at work. Person on other end asks, "Do you have XYZ product?" I respond "Yes, we have XYZ. It is this many $$$" Person responds, "So you have XYZ in stock?" I respond "Yes, right here, in the store. Available." Person: "Ok, well I may want to come and purchase XYZ, however, I am not sure I can get there today, but maybe tomorrow or Sunday" Me: "We are not open on Sunday" Person" Oh, you aren't? Why?" Me: "Because the owner decided 36 years ago that we would not be open on Sunday." Person: "Oh, well Kroger is open on Sunday. " Me: "Yes, they are, and we are not Kroger and you can't get XYZ at Kroger so you will have to come in during OUR BUSINESS HOURS!" Jesus.

3) Get on highway. Speed limit is 65. 3 available lanes. Get in far left lane as I am late as usual and need to move. Foreign woman in far left lane going 45. For real. 45. Traffic in both right lanes going 70mph. I have nothing against persons of other country origin, I mean, my daughter is foreign born, but really? If you have not mastered driving in the big city, perhaps don't. Because I am NOT READY TO DIE getting creamed by other drivers creeping up on me in left lane when I can't move over and I am stuck going 40mph. And there is no amount of light blinking and honking that will get these people to move over! UGH! I can't deal. Please. There had to be some kind of instruction upon obtaining license in US? Right? Maybe not. Who the hell knows but I can't take it.

Those are just a few examples. Will have more later for sure.
