Wow! It makes me feel a little guilty to make what seems like a bitch list, but seeing as this is an assignment from Mama Kat I think I’ll let my inner Bitch roar.
Here’s my list of 10 things I’m sick of, in no particular order:
1.
I am sick of customers who ask the same question in different ways hoping they’ll get a different answer. It’s one thing when you don’t understand, but when you keep asking because you don’t get an answer you like please keep in mind that the person you are badgering has been badgered by at least 100 other people asking the same questions and making the same dumb jokes.
Here’s a sample script:
Customer: So it’s not free to see the special exhibit?
Me: No.
Customer: So I have to pay?
Me: Yes.
Customer: Can I just walk through really quickly without paying?
Me: No.
Customer: Is it worth paying for?
Me: (thinking: Hey Moron, it’s art. How the hell do I know if you are going to like it? I don’t know you and why would you trust my opinion since you don’t know me and I work here so even if I don’t like it I’m going to say something diplomatic.) Well, art is subjective. Isn’t that the beauty of it?
Customer: Is there any way you could let me in for free?
Me: No.
Customer: But, it’s free in New York.
Me: (with a smile) Unfortunately, you are in San Francisco.
Customer: So, I have to pay?
Me: Yes.
Customer: How much is it?
Me: $10
Customer: (taking out Prada, Louis Vuitton, or any other obviously expensive wallet stuffed with money) Oooh-kay.
2.
I’m sick of going to the bathroom after men who pee on the floor and either don’t notice or don’t care. Is it really that hard to hit your target?
3.
I’m sick of drivers making a right turn while looking left for oncoming traffic and completely forgetting that a pedestrian might be crossing the street on their right. That’s right pedestrians exist.
4.
I’m sick of insurance and credit card companies. ‘Nuff said.
5.
I’m sick of turning on the TV and still in 2009 seeing mostly white faces. Even if what I’m watching takes place in the future. Really, the future is still only going to have a token black guy, a token Asian, and a “spit-fire” Latina. Honestly, all the hot young white guys start looking the same. Give me some variety!
6.
I’m sick of having issues with my weight. It doesn’t matter how much I weigh, it’s never the right amount.
7.
I’m sick of always waiting for something to be happy. I need to embrace happiness now.
8.
I’m sick of commercials being so much louder than programs. I get it, you want my attention. Now shut the f*** up! Mute. Are you happy now? I can’t hear you at all.
9.
I’m sick of junk mail and take-out menus. Just stop! You are depleting our forests.
10.
I’m sick of incessant noise makers. You know who you are. You live upstairs from me and wear clogs on hardwood floors at midnight, or you’re the jerk who keeps honking in traffic, or you like to play video games on the bus with the sound on, or you keep singing that song that’s stuck in your head and now it’s stuck in mine.
And Basta! I’m sick of bitching.
