Things that Irked me this Week


Hello my masses of adoring fans!


OK, would you believe a small group of grudging admirers ?

Ok. Fine, 2 followers that barely read and like the pictures. 

 I’ve decided to bring you something a bit different.   I’m going to try to do this every week (TRY being the operative word) and give you a list of sorts, of things that irked me over the past week.  Some of it may be controversial, but most will be me being a crusty curmudgeon.  (I am getting old you know) So without further ado… and without hairdo… (it sounded funny in my head), let’s get this started. 


So I recently visited one of the big box stores, we will call it Mal-Wart (I can’t afford a law suit), and I was appalled by the level of customer service I DIDN’T receive.  The cashier barely spoke above a whisper, and was very monotone.  It seems as if her dog may have died in her arms earlier that day.  She seemed so uninterested, and seems so bored with her job, that I almost offered euthanasia.  I get that we as people don’t always have the best day, but the phrase” Check your issues at the door” comes to mind.  Their job is to make those who are spending their hard-earned dollars feel good about the experience.  Well she got a BIG #EPICFAIL from me.


Shopping Carts and the Idiots who use them -  So at the same above mentioned store, I was leaving the lot, when to my amazed eyes I see the carts in the near cart coral coming about 5 feet out into the parking lot.  So, I have 2 questions here.  First, are the people putting these back totally stupid?  It’s EXTREMELY obvious that the coral is full.  Take it to a different one or take it back inside. I bet these asshats putting the carts back in this manner, would be the first ones to complain if their car got hit by one.    My 2nd question is to the cart jockeys. I know your jobs are tough, but I must wonder how you don’t see the state of these corals long before it happens.  I don’t blame the cart guys, but this is proof that Stupid is alive and well in Halifax







Sock and Sandals/Flipflops – I know this might seem obvious, but there are many people who are still wearing this combination.  Wearing sock with Sandals is like cutting the front and sides out of your sneakers or shoes.  The whole bloody point of sandals or flipflops is to let your feet breathe.  Let’s also not forgot that these are also considered as “beach wear” or “summer wear” and meant for water, or at least in conditions where socks are a hindrance.  Also, let’s not forget that the combination is truly hideous.   

Well that's all for me!  I hope you had a fun read, and if you did......
an ad!  

(shameless I know, but a guy's gotta make a living )

Another Teacher...... Another Rant. Justice Served?

***DISCLAIMER*** Before I get started on this, I want to curb a few of you right off. This post is not about what I would do, or “if it was my daughter”. This is about facts and about how things get so f’ing twisted we can’t see straight. If you are going to reply, and say “If it was Adora……” don’t waste your time. I am commenting on the situation, not the morality. ***END DISCLAIMER**** Derrick Joseph Redden is an idiot. Hands down, an Idiot. A sexual relationship with a 16, now 17 year old girl…. Ludicrous. But the question is, is he a criminal? My response to this……. Empthatically, NO. We discussed this after the last teacher scandal. I fail to understand what these so called judges find illegal. If being a complete and utter moron is a crime (and maybe it should be) then hell yeah, he’s guilty. But it is not a crime. The judge was quoted as saying It’s clear that there lurked in that teacher an evil which was an evil that led this man to throw away his career, the res

The Dog is the Thing.......

                                      I know I’m about to APPEAR insensitive, but here me out first, I think I have a valid point.  So we have all heard of seeing Eye Dogs, and know the benefits they bring. I wonder if we are all aware of Hearing Ear Dogs? Here is What I found out about hearing ear dogs: For a person who is hearing impaired, the feeling of vulnerability and isolation can be overwhelming. A Hearing Dog is a dedicated assistant to such people — He will alert his master to important sounds, such as the sounds of a baby's cry, the telephone ringing, a knock at the door, an alarm clock, a kettle whistle, in addition to such danger signals as the sound of a smoke alarm, burglar alarm, or even the rustling of a prowler, by leading the owner. (ok say maybe not in the case of the prowler, but you get the idea.) These dogs provide a sense of security, independence, and of course companionship to their human partners. They proudly wear their working vests and enjoy t

An Update on Yours Truly

Image
Warning: There will be a tiny sales pitch at the end of this Blog. Hello everyone. I am taking a break from my normal controversy to bring you something near and dear to me. My writing. As most of my friends and family know, I enjoy writing. Whether it’s poetry, blogs, fantasy wrestling league NEWA ( www.nextevolutionwrestling.com ) , or simple jotting words on a page, I love to write. Often I evoke emotional responses from people, some good, some bad. But isn’t that what true writing is about? As many of you might remember, I have for some time been working on various projects and trying to get something published with a major publisher. This is a daunting task at the best of times, and I’m sad to report that I have had a great deal of rejection. But all is not lost. In this marvelous technological age that we live in, I have found another avenue in which to pursue my dreams. It may be a long road, but I feel that I have what it takes. What am I babbling about you ask? Well, it
