So the other day, I was at work, and I heard this girl pick up a magazing and say, "O. M. G. Look. At. Who's. On. ... The. Cover," in a very annoying voice...yes, the stereotypical one, because people really do talk like that. I seriously cringed upon hearing "O. M. G." It's not like you're saving yourself from uttering extra syllables or anything. =D
"Oh my God." Three syllables.
"O. M. G." Three syllables, and you don't sound all that impressive.
I dunno. Maybe this girl was trying to say, "Oh, Marsupian Galoshes!" or something, because she'd save herself from an extra 5 syllables. Woohoo!

"U.S. 'popular' music". It's supposedly "so popular" around here, yet so simple. I even made a list of what I really dislike about this music:
1. Reliance on the bass; 85% of the bass notes of the songs today sound like Canon in D's bass notes, and the dynamic level. x_x
2. Adding a 5th measure to the phrase to make the bass not sound so repetitive, which just makes it worse, in my opinion.
3. Giving the bass line scale-like stuff to make it sound non-repetitious.
4. The philosophy that louder is better. :bleh:
5. Longer notes to make it seem a bit gradual to the next measure when it is VERY predictable what will happen next..
6. Bass repetition, obviously -_- .
7. Percussion is playing throughout the whole song with the same rhythm <_< .

It's its own style. I'm not a hardcore screamo fan either, but I can appreciate that a number of bands can make screaming musical. Any band that's 100% screamo isn't for me unless their drummer has fast feet.

In the Netherlands, they wanted to create a new law against wearing Burqas since it's dangerous (in the sense of people can't be identified on camera's, they can hide all sorts of weapons under there etc). There came the stupid tent wearing muslim women.
"It's our religion. We have the right to wear these."

Most the time if you get out of your car and ruch to them they will throw cash at you so that you don't do any paperwork. works wonders if you have a nice old car that your not to bothered about.

Old people driving slow in the fast lane !?:
I had one of those today...minivan, fastlane, 18-wheeler on his butt, yet he was applying the brakes, going 55 mph (90 km/h) in a 65 mph (105 km/h) zone with nobody in front of him. Too bad that's not illegal here like it is in most of Europe.

(Pats X's back) There there....... I don't like it too.... (only cause I don't know why they use a fish of all things. Confuses the hell out of me and make me wanna eat red snappers) but hey, I'm not religious so....... yeah :\ )
I hate people who take the "the customer is always right" a bit too far thinking because of that they're ALWAYS RIGHT! ._. Like.....
Mr. dumbass #1: Refusing to believe what the total says on my register is right because it doesn't match up to his own calculations. (what HE believe the amount should be)
Mr. dumbass #2: Wants one of my now former-supervisors to help him get a alarm clock while he was busy and when he tried to help, the guy goes and get an attitude and just starts talking to him any old way saying he should serving him like that (like lightning). (supervisor was new) I stepped in since I knew that and tried to help him but then he wanted to get it w/ me because he didn't even know what he was talking about and was getting mad at me. (He wanted a vhs player but I kept telling him all we had was dvd players) So he called me a white boy (and that's a wtf since I don't look white) and some other stuff (had to keep my cool) and called me a fag cause I then told him to leave if he was gonna be difficult since he was getting mad about something that wasn't even in stock like it would magically appear for him.
Ms. dumbass #1: Coming in drunk all the time, taking like 50 mins to get pictures from the photo place (she'll look over them and demand all this help about things that makes no sense. It's pick up the pictures and buy them. What did she needed assistance on) and like to throw insults and stuff and all that bullshit. The worse was when I had to ring her up on my register. After I rang up her stuff, she had all her money in her hand and I was like "Cool. It won't be a problem like last time." but then she gives me part of it, saying all of a sudden "I don't have enough money". I tried telling her she did but she didn't believe me and was willing to count the money for it but she didn't want me to and tried to pay w/ a card she doesn't even know the pin number to. It took like 15 god damn mins for 2 items. ._. I wanted to kick her out the line since she was holding it up since I was the only one open during closing time but my manager kept telling me to keep trying much to the annoyance of the other people there. Did I mention she's old too and kinda deaf and does this like EVERY TIME you see her? .-.

Today my brother kept on hitting me with a hornet ( that's a paper thing attached to a rubber band, then you launch the paper thing and it hits something) sorry bad description . It sounds like it doesn't hurt but it does. I would innocently walk down the stairs and all of a sudden I'm hit with a hornet. It was almost as annoying as when he shot me at close range with his air soft gun 3 times while I was sleeping to see if I felt it.

The idiots in my highschool used to attach thumb tacks to those things. Only a few people were shot by them though, and those people were also making hornets, so it was fair I guess.

What's bad about that? It's worse when they're behind you and they have their foglights on, or even worse, incorrectly installed Xenon x_x

When I have customers who don't know the meaning of yes or no and sometimes colors. <_<
ex:
Me: "So is that debit or credit?"
Customer: "Debit."
Me: "Would you like cash back then?"
Customer: "Oh, no thank you."
-15 to 20 seconds go by and the screen looks the same-
Me: (goes to check the card screen) "What's wrong?"
Customer: "I didn't want cash back but it's asking me for it.''
Me: "I'll help. ^_^ "(inner self) :mellow:" (because it says do you want cash back on the screen and they still press yes)
And this one is my personal favorite.
Me: "So do you want cash back?"
Customer: "No."
Me: "Ok. ^_^"
(gets asked 5 seconds later)
Customer: "What do I press?"
Me: "What? :mellow:"
Customer: "It's asking for cash back. Am I suppose to press yes or no?"
Me: "Uh.... press no. :heh:"
(and for the ones who can't do that)
Customer: "Where does it say that?"
Me: "Press the red one. :sweat:"
(and for the ones who can't even do that)
Customer: "Huh? Where?"
Me: (inner self) "Fuck this. <_<" "Let me do it. @_@ (does it for them)"
So you know, I sometimes serve people who don't know English well (or any at all).

Heh - i know the feeling. My ex job that's soon to be my job again, and a situation - parts of which that have happened many times, but thankfully the entirety only once! Not quite sure why I'm going back to that job, but I am....
'is that cheque, savings or credit?'
"credit"
(swipes card, looks at me)
"Can I get $20 out as well?"
'No, sorry, we don't do cash out on credit.'
"Oh, okay, I'll put it on savings then."
(cancel transaction, add cash out, put it through again)
'Okay, $20 cash out! Swipe your card please, stripe facing down and in'
(card swiped upside down, wrong way round, etc)
"Your machine doesn't work!"
'Turn your card the other way up please - no, the other other way - yes, that's it!' (sigh of relief)
"It's saying no cash out on credit - I thought you switched the transaction to savings!"
'Did you press the red button?'
"Yes"
'That's the button for credit - I'll cancel it and put it through again for you - you need to press the button in the middle'
"I'm not at all impressed with how long this is taking. You really should learn how to do your job properly."
GROWL.

@ran ran: Geez... I hate that too. >.< (customers who don't know what they're doing and blame you like you're an idiot or something)
Ah man... now I'm thinking of another one. >.< When you got rude customers but you can't touch them.
So alright, one of my friends was about to ring up this old man when he toss the item he had onto the counter roughly. (almost hitting her) She was like, "excuse me <_< but I'm not gonna help you if you're going to be like that." and then he went off the deep end by saying a bunch of cuss words at her. Like, "you b@#$^!", "f&#% you b@#%$!", "stupid b@#$^!".... you get the point. :\ He then thought I was gonna serve him next but I was like, "oh no.... :\ if you're gonna be so rude to her then I'm not gonna help you either. (refrained from saying the n word at the end. (he was black too .-.)) Then he gonna say to me, "forget you then simple n*$%^@!" then toss his item behind him, not caring if he hit someone. We told him to leave and then he did. I have no idea what happened to him to make him act that way that day because he's usually so nice. =_=
A recent one was when I was getting on my 15 min break last week. When I was grabbing my jacket so I could put it on since it was cold and kinda dark, (was going to get some chinese food) I heard this young man (maybe 17 or 19 black male) talking to the guard. He was saying how the guard was looking at his mom, like she was gonna steal something but the guard was only looking at her since she was taking forever and is RIGHT by the door since it's possible for someone to pick up a magazine and try to run w/ it (cause only one of them is free but the others you got to pay and we do get a lot of thieves of all ages here) and... duh, he's a guard (it's part of his job) and she was right next to him. She was like, (yeah, he was looking at me :\) and I just thought he was trying to stick up for his mom but he went off the deep end by talking about the guard. Saying things like he's not a police officer, that he got no gun, no badge and blah blah blah and said something that angered me too by calling him a mexican. He didn't stop there .-. he was acting like it was a game saying it over and over again and they were going into the lines to buy something so I was like I better get my butt outta here before something happens. (but ordered my food to go in case they were still there. :heh: ) I came back to see them finish buying their items and seeing not only my co-workers but the customers there as well w/ a bit of anger on their faces. He was still (in a song like voice) calling the guard a mexican again and again and when he was walking by me, I whispered low enough and kinda glared at him, "your momma must be ashamed to have a son like you." He gave me a stare back and walked out (even his mom who was once agreeing w/ him was feeling embarrassed about his racist remarks) but not before running back in and knocking down the book stand. I ran out w/ the guard to catch him but I stopped in front of the store, cussing my luck I was still working and not allowed to touch him. He kept saying "mexican~" all the way to the car. When he went into the car waving to us, w/ me still upset about the whole thing, I said, "You'll be a big hit at jail someday! ^_^ (waves back)" since by the way he was walking, the tone of his voice and the wimp way he was holding his hands made me think he was gay so I ripped him on that like he did on the guard. Yeah, I know, (I did the same thing too) but if he doesn't like people saying things like that about him because of the way someone look or act, he shouldn't do that then.I was just thinking the whole time..... "Why the f#@$" is him being mexican got to do w/ anything." -_- ) He just yelled the n word and got into the car w/ his mom. We were gonna stop him but we decided to let him go, saying it was his lucky day since he ran away before the guard (which I kinda ran w/) mace him in his face. Normally my behavior would get the average person fired but we're kinda close at my job, plus most of the people are mexican themselves, myself included. (I'm part mexican on my dad's side)
