People Are Stupid 2008 (Pt. II)

So yesterday I'm at the same Walgreens as last time, and an even stupider thing happens.

I'm standing in line waiting for the next available cashier and this guy walks right past me to stand behind a woman who has just paid for her stuff and is about to leave. WTF?


For those of you not familiar with the typical layout of a Walgreens checkout area (they're all the same), trust me when I say that there's no way this person couldn't recognize that I'm standing in line waiting for the next cashier. You have to be either 1) a moron, or 2) an asshole not to see it. Either way, it is behaviour that I cannot fucking stand in other people. That disrespectful notion that someone else's time is fundamentally more important than someone else's. Christ, I hate that shit.

I say "excuse me, but there's a line" and he's all apologetic and then comes to stand next to me. When the woman is done and the cashier says "next in line" the idiot turns to me and says, "Go ahead."


Like he's doing me a favor by letting me proceed.

Really? I can go ahead now? You're giving me permission to go? Geez thanks - you're such a nice guy. Fuck off, douchebag.


Swear to God, someday that Walgreens is going to burn down to the ground, if you know what I'm saying.

I like when [Cherry] is grumpy.

And this is why I avoid Walgreens, except for late night, after bar chip runs!

Better yet, if that guy's house burns down, you know what I'm sayin'.

p.s., my verification word was "mynps." Blogger needs to leave my nips alone, thanks very much.

it looks like if i dream about that Walgreens it will burn down... maybe all the douchebags will be inside at the time... at least in my dreams they will be.

BTW, Colleen and I think the American Idol singer, Michael Johnns, reminds of you, Will.

I agree with Fit - you're blog is even more enjoyable when you are grumpy.

Nerd & Kadonkadonk: Stick around then. I essentially have two moods these days - testy and grumpy.

Carolyn, Andrea B, Big Daddy, Jules, & Essentially:: I know, right? People suck.

MiniJB:: Seriously, you need to concentrate on making this happen.

Rob:: O No, I guess I need to check this guy out. But I'm scared. Colleen used to think I reminded her of Donna Summer. I can only imagine what this guy is like...

Gancer:: Yeah, its all about getting those page views!

Sounds like the beginning of every gay porn movie. Not that I would know.

Alison said...

Was the guy drunk maybe? Or maybe drunken Shia LeBeouf

...ok, that joke wouldn't have even been funny four months ago. Sorry.

Here's what I don't like about Walgreens: Where I'm from, some Walgreens sell alcohol -- some don't. Guess which type of one I live by.
