Flip Flop Boots. Just ... Why?

If your feet are going to be cool, wear flip flops, if you want your feet to warm up, wear boots. If you feel the need to compromise your comfort for fashion, fuck you. Seriously, Rhianna ....

Twitter porn

I’ve had about 40 new followers in the past week, and they’re all named Tiffany or something. Get this crap away from Twitter.

De-Magnetized Cards

This always seems to start up when there's a huge line behind me and I'm buying something really important. The cashier has to swipe the card 25 times just to get it to work. Also my public transport card is de-magnetized, so I always miss my metro while standing there, hoping that my card will swipe. WHY?!?!

Grown people that wear clothes that should only fit children

Today, on the metro, I noticed a woman wearing jeans so tiny, half her flabby ass cheeks were hanging out of them. It was awful. Every time she walked, they jiggled, and I couldn't even read my magazine in peace because they were jiggling in my face. Please, people. Buy size appropriate clothing.

The use of the word "word" as acknowledgement

I don't like it.

Idiots that take up my time.

The other day, I bought lunch at a very busy cafeteria-style lunch place that I love. There's always a line to pay, so when I got to the front of the line, starving and excited to eat my delicious food, I was in a hurry. The cashier rang up my lunch and I handed her my debit card. She then informed me that someone was using the phone, so I'd have to wait. Meanwhile, so did everyone else in line. For 20 mins. I wasted half my lunch break while some employee in back was having a personal conversation on the same phone line as their interac machine. Seriously. And she wasn't apologetic about it, she was rude. Bitch.

People who stop walking in the middle of the sidewalk and ruin the "flow" of pedestrian traffic.

These people always stop for the stupidest reasons like.
1 - They're walking with someone else and they conversation apparently warrants a full stop of movement
2 - They think they saw someone they know ... oh no wait ... they didn't.
3 - They think they saw a UFO.
4 - They're a tourist who needs to check their map and moving to the edge of the sidewalk is out of the question.

WHY??? These people always look at you like you're evil when you accidentally walk into them too. Especially if they're tourists. They look at you and think that Montrealers are rude, which is not the case. YOUR people are idiots.

People Who Argue over arbitrary shit that doesn't matter.

I am a phone sales representative for classified ads. Recently, we stopped mailing out physical receipts in order to save the environment. In any case, all the situations for which you might need a receipt from us will work the same with a credit card statement. Every second client I speak to, and I kid you not, puts up a huge fight about this. I'm not going to lie, I've lost sales because of this. It's a huge pain the ass. Most of my conversations go like this:

Landlord: ... and I'd like you to mail me a receipt
Dee: I'm sorry, but due to our new green initiative, we no longer send receipts.
Landlord: But I need it!
Dee: Actually, the main reason that we stopped mailing receipts is that, because your credit card statement contains the same information, a receipt from the Gazette is redundant. You actually DON'T need it, sir.
Landlord: That's STUPID. I want a receipt.
Dee: I understand. However, we no longer provide receipts. You can use your credit card statement.
Landlord: But I need a receipt because I want to sue my old tenants for the cost of the ad.
Dee: Yes sir, but you can present the judge with a copy of your credit card statement and it will serve the same purpose.
Landlord: But my credit card statement won't say that it's for a classified ad. It won't show the ad text.
Dee: Ah, but neither will the receipt that we send out. Even if we could still send you a receipt, the only information that it would contain is that you paid the Gazette $46.28.
Landlord: WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?
Dee: To save the environment, and sir - your credit card statement will serve the same purposes as a paper receipt from us.
Landlord: grumble grumble grumble. etc. etc. etc.

People Who Lean on Poles on Public Transport

What is wrong with these people?? Is it not clear to them that the poles are there for the MASSES to hold on to in order to avoid falling? The thing about these people is that they are always so self-involved that when you try to hint that they are preventing you from keeping your balance by sneakily forcing your fingers between the pole and their back, of course, apologizing, they turn around and give you a dirty look. Seriously. Hate them.
