Bitches
So Rompalicious entry is before this
<—- View at your own risk.
Now I shall rant about stupid office politics and the stupid train!
first the office.
Every afternoon at lunch, I go into the lunchroom. I’d say 9.5 times out of 10, the lovely soap opera All My Children is on the tv. There are several of us who watch it. Sometimes they aren’t there and others choose to view the News, this is fine with me since I DVR it (ha ha). Anyway, the majority of people in the lunchroom are asian. I am not hating on asians… but asians are sure hating on a few others!
There is an older black woman who comes in every day just to watch the show. She usually eats lunch before or after and really just likes to watch the show and talk about it with the rest of us. Well, from the first day I even went into the lunchroom she has had a sort of abrasive attitude.
Yesterday there was a woman in there who usually doesn’t watch anything on the tv and has made no preferences known. She stopped the black lady from changing the channel from the news saying she wanted to watch it. This made the black lady upset and she left.
Not 2 minutes later, one of the asian chicks came in for l unch, changed the channel with no resistance, and the asian ladies all laughed… like they had made the black lady leave, hooray!
They all spoke a language I couldn’t understand, so they probably said something about it too.
So dumb.
Seriously.
UGH.
My next annoyance is the train cronies. I udnerstand the need for it, but its still annoying.
So there is this woman who looks like she has one leg that is significantly shorter than the other. She is actually very tall, but walks with a limp and a hunch and is balding. She works in some office because she is always dressed very nicely.
Anyway, she has this man who is her friend. He is obviously gay (nothing wrong with it, but it’s what he is) and they both gab like hens in a henhouse. Well he has no disability so the MOMENT the train doors open he bumrushes the train (who cares if anyone is getting off or not) and runs to save her a seat.
Like I said, I understand why he does it. The train is a ruthless cesspool with able bodied idiots who will plop their asses in a seat and watch an old lady with a cane fall over and crack her head on the floor before they even twitch. it’s disgusting. Sometiems people do move for the elderlly and disabled but it’s not often.
anyway, this guy is just rude and he always squeals when the train stops and he sees a seat "OH I SEEE ONE!!!" and you almost want him to jump up and down and clap his hands and giggle. And then you want to sock his face.
blah.
I know to stay out of their way, cuz he’s liable to trample your face in to get his gal pal a seat.
Jeesh.
Ok, so, work countdown is about an hour.
oh goodie.
get me outta here!
i love your train stories, even when its about a rude gay man who wouldnt flinch if an old lady cracked her head! ryn: my son was so mad at me when he discovered those werent real cupcakes. i got it on video when i said ‘april fools! its really meatloaf!’ and his face was just dead serious while he said EWWWW.

You should write a book about train people. I’ve always wondered about people who keep looking down the track or the street for the train or bus. What? Does seeing it in the distance make it arrive faster? You have to wait for it to stop in front of you anyway, so why does it matter if you ‘see it coming’ or not?!

I love your train stories, too because they are so foreign to me. I live in Texas and we drive cars everywhere, lol. I would probably go apeshit over the people not getting up for the old/disabled people. That makes me nuts!

ryn – Thanks. I always think ‘at least it helped me mature’ – but it’s still a harsh way to learn a lesson! Also, I don’t really understand the mentality to this day – like I said, it had been a nice date – if he hadn’t got me so drunk I couldn’t function, he might have got a perfectly consensual shag out of it – but I guess that wasn’t what he wanted. Ugh, creeps.

Ryn: Yeah, I know! I don’t know what it is either, that seems to make it so boring! Or, something that just makes it hard to get into!

The train and or subway is the best, it’s like you are forced to deal with a cross section of the population you choose not to associate with in most areas of your life. It’s like watching an uncomfortable TV show and not changing the channel because you can’t reach the remote.

Gotta love people like that. Isn’t it amazing how selfish people have become? I often wonder if it was always this way.

I would have gotten up and changed the channel on purpose and dared any of them to say anything. I hate people like that.
