The joys of apartment living! Who does that?

Last year I had a girl with a little yappy dog move in next door to me & I had to complain because the damn dog barked non-stop when she wasn't home...like I listened to it bark while I was home sick one day for 10 straight hours. Well recently I realized she didn't live there anymore (shows how aware I am) and then last weekend I noticed a new door mat so I assumed that someone must have moved in.  I haven't yet seen my new neighbor but I think it's a guy just because I could hear a deeper voice echoing when I was in the bathroom yesterday but it could have been from the apartment below me, it's hard to tell sometimes.  Anyway, around 10:30 the neighbor was making so much damn noise it was ridiculous, a lot of banging on the floors to the point that my chair was shaking & I thought it sounded like someone doing gymnastics & jumping off of the couch...like I used to when I was a little kid.  After about 10 minutes it stopped & I went to bed at about 11:30 & curled up with my book when I heard the creek of the main door outside my apartment door & then the slamming of the door downstairs as someone left.  Two minutes later I heard the main door slam shut & then the door outside mine creek as the person came in & then two minutes later repeat the same cycle.  At about 11:50 I heard a car honk & then the neighbor leave yet again & this time I got up & looked out the window & it appeared to be a dude about 16 years old or at least that's what it looked like to me.  This confused me because I live in a 1 bedroom building & a 16 year old certainly isn't well off enough to be living alone nor would my company rent to someone under the age of 18.  

Ok, let's fast forward to about 12:15 when a car pulled in blasting hip hop which I have nothing against but there is no reason for anyone's music in their car to be that loud ever let alone at midnight...the music was so loud I couldn't hear the TV I had on in my room & I could hear each lyric crystal clear.  I could hear two people yelling over the music outside as well which made no sense whatsoever...why not turn down the music to talk rather than yelling?  Well, as I was about to call the police the music stopped so I shut off my light to go to sleep & then someone buzzed my fucking buzzer...at 12:30!  Do you have any clue how high I jumped?  It scared the living shit out of me & then I heard my neighbor buzz the person in & I think it was the person who left like 5 times in 10 minutes who I believe is also the person who was talking over the music.  I'm assuming this must also be the douche who was buzzing me repeatedly on Monday afternoon trying to get in the building but I don't buzz in people I didn't invite over.  

If I have to put up with this shit again I am calling the police as well as the apartment manager because this is ridiculous but I'm really curious to also see who is living in there!  If it's more than one person & not a couple I'd like to know where in the hell the 2nd person is sleeping, I mean, my apartment is a good size but it's not big enough for 2 people, especially 2 people that aren't a couple!
 

Who does that?

So I'm thinking that last week must have been idiot week because I had so many effed up things go on but this one still stands out in my mind.  So Friday I stopped at the grocery store on my way home to pick up some food to cook for dinner, a movie from the Blockbuster Express kiosk, and to return bottles for the charity bottle drive at work.  Well, I returned the bottles & got my movie & then did my shopping & got in line to check out.  While I was in line a woman got in line behind me & was looking at the magazines & tabloids & started freaking out saying "oh my God, shut up, this can't be true" to which I said nothing because the answer is no dude, it's not true when it's on the cover of the Enquirer!  

I step up to be rung up and the cashier is scanning my items and this woman is still talking & there is another woman in line behind her so I assume she is speaking to her but since that woman never said anything either I realized that this lady was just thinking out loud.  So then she says "I can't believe how ugly that bitch is without her wig on, have you ever seen her without it, it's scary, she's so damn ugly I just can't even believe it".  Nobody in line nor the cashier acknowledged or said anything to this lady and then the cashier finished ringing me up and I stepped forward to put my bags in my cart and as I was doing so this crazy woman kept hitting me with her purse & while it wasn't intentional there is no way she couldn't feel it, she must have bumped into me 6 times & fairly hard & as badly as I wanted to turn around & say something I bit my tongue.  

I stepped out of the aisle & as I turned for the door I remembered the damn bottle receipts for the charity drive.  I stopped walking so I could turn back in to the store at which time this crazy broad who was walking & reading her tabloid walked right into me & kicked me in the back of the leg which caused the front of my leg to hit my cart & hard, that shit hurt.  So I stopped & turned around & said "what the fuck was that, watch where you are going you crazy bitch" and she didn't respond, she just went back to reading & walking & just walked out of the store!!!  That goddamn C word didn't say sorry or anything & everyone who was in line was just laughing...not sure if they were laughing at her or me but I got back in line to turn in my receipts & just said allowed, loudly "seriously, who does that".  I'm sure some people in turn though I was a crazy bitch but I don't care.  The bottom line is, don't read & walk & if you run into someone say you are sorry!  If I see (or rather hear) that crazy bitch at the store again I will be sure to hit her in the back of the ankles with my cart while talking to myself about celebrity gossip!
 

Who does that?

It has been some time since I've posted a who does that but I'm very annoyed by people at work & in general lately.  I was talking to a coworker yesterday saying that I just wanted to punch someone (anyone, nobody in particular) in the face & she agreed that she was feeling the same way.  It all stems from noise, the noise of voices basically...people talking when you are working is obnoxious, period.  I live in cubeville like most folks in corporate America and we all know how obnoxious is it listening to people yap on the phone when you are trying to focus & then it always seems that as soon as you get in the zone someone is rap tapping on your cube to ask you something or tell you something that you don't want to deal with either.  For example, this happens often...I'm working my little butt off & hear a knock so I remove my headphones & turn around & then someone either just says "hi" or they tell me they are putting something in my inbox.  You don't need to break my concentration to tell me you are doing something...just do it!

Last year my cube was moved to where it was when I started this job & I love this location because I actually get real daylight if the person in the office next to my cube leaves their door open which they usually do.  So anyway, not too long ago a whole team was moved into our aisle & we were very used to complete quiet where we are & then all of the sudden all of these phones are ringing & people are in and out of our row, mini meetings are being held directly outside my cube & I'm hearing laughter & people yelling from cube to cube & it's quite annoying.  So what this basically brings me to is why do people talk so loud when they get on the phone, particularly a cell phone?  It's not the 80's, you don't have to yell (FYI yelling at a drive-thru is also unnecessary) so take the call in a normal tone of voice so everyone doesn't hear your conversation.  I would also like to know why people think it's ok to yell back & forth down the aisles especially when we have a chat service on our email, I mean really, who does that & doesn't think "hmm, I'll bet everyone else who is always quiet is annoyed by this"?  I mean, use the chat program or get your butt up & walk to the next cube, don't just yell back & forth, it's rude & inappropriate.  It's one thing if you have a quick question or comment but an entire conversation...come on!  So basically what I'm getting at is that people like to get in a zone at work so do your best to be courteous to your neighbors & use your inside voices whenever possible. 
 

Ultimate Who Does That!

OMFG, how did I not know that Mackenzie Phillips had an affair with her dad for 10 years?  That's right...she was getting freaky with her father, I'm sorry but that is just sick.  This apparently happened in the 80's & 11 years later Mackenzie told her half sister Chynna about it which shocked the shit out of her & obviously disgusted her as well.  If you want to learn all about the affair then pick up Mackenzie's new book High On Arrival in which she apparently dishes all.  I knew this girl was a mess & had major drug problems for the majority of her life but I'm sorry, nothing can drive you to screw your father!!

Team Letterman!

Ok, I'm sure more of you are aware of the controversy around David Letterman & Sarah Palin & the tacky yet funny joke(s) he told about her daughter Bristol Palin (18) being impregnated by A-Rod (33) while in town for a Yankees game. Basically Dave told a joke about Bristol getting knocked up by A-Rod which is fitting since he's a dog & Bristol did get knocked up at a young age...I don't see how a joke is any more "disgusting" than the truth! I feel as though Palin is embarrassed by her daughter being a slut & a young unwed mother so she chose to try to direct the attention away from those FACTS claiming that the joke was about raping her 14 year old daughter (she obviously has too many kids if she didn't get the joke). I also think that Sarah is just trying to remain in the spotlight, she was on American Chopper for Christ's sake! Anyway, I think Sarah needs to get off the Moose she rode in on (and then shot) and just continue being a clueless dip shit. If she is going to make a point of calling Letterman out for his jokes she should probably not jump the gun as to what they are referencing. My biggest issue with all of this crap is that all these dip shit people are bombarding the Late Show studio demanding that Letterman lose his job. Are you effing kidding me? You want someone to lose a job because they told a joke that pissed someone else off? I don't understand the logic of the American people anymore, well at least the Republicans. Can I also say that these people going on and on about Dave joking about raping a 14 year old girl & how disgusting it is should acknowledge the fact that Palin accepted Dave's apology (probably because she knew she was wrong) & they should too. Check out the video below that shows the protest going on outside the studio & look at how many people are just as stupid as Palin & obviously are believing what they are told rather than the truth. Please follow this link to get the whole story (from Huffington Post) & to see the video of Letterman clarifying & apologizing for the joke(s) which he also re-tells to get the point across.

Who Does That?

So last spring at work we stopped using styrofoam cups to help save the environment & we (those of us who care) decorated our own coffee mugs. Yesterday I walk into the kitchen & my mug is in the sink freshly used & soaking. I'm like what the hell is this shizz, isn't the point of decorating our own mugs to make them our own? I thought my mug was pretty clear & it isn't like we have a lack of blank mugs for everyone to use so why must someone feel the need to use mine? Were they just too lazy to move mine aside & grab the blank one behind it or are they just such a total jerk that they enjoyed using my mug? Perhaps I should lick my mug before putting it back in the cabinet, that would teach em, or at least make me happy knowing that they are drinking my spit with their coffee. Anyway, I've attached a photo to illustrate the mug & why I don't understand how anyone could be confused by the fact that it's mine. So I just have to ask, who does that?

Who Does That?

OMG you guys! So Wendy informs me this morning about something that happened to her & Paul last night & all I could say was "who the eff does that"? Got a little story for ya & hear it goes. W&P had a friend over last night & this friend smokes cigarettes so they said "go ahead, smoke in the house, we don't mind" so he did. This morning W&P get a note from their downstairs neighbor, wait...let's step back a second.

W&P had a cool but lazy neighbor before & he wasn't much trouble but recently moved out & they got new neighbors, a couple with a 2 year old...just what everyone hopes will move into the other unit of their duplex right? So the kid seems to never sleep according to Paul, no matter the time of day he can hear it screaming, crying, yelling & it runs very heavily & they can actually hear the kid running around downstairs from their upstairs unit so you know that is LOUD!The people had no idea what recycling was nor what a sidewalk was either so I assume that they must be from Mars but that's beside the point.

Back to the story at hand. So they wake up to a note on the door which reads "please do not smoke in the house we can smell it downstairs" WTF? Who the eff are you to tell me what I can & cannot do in my house? I pay motherf***inrent & will do as I damn well please, not to mention the fact that we were here first & the lease does not indicate that this is a non-smoking house so eat a dick (that's what I would have said). So anyway, Paul wrote a note back that said "Thank you for confronting us about the issue. Keep in mind that waking up in the night to your child stinks too. Also this is not a recurring issue & the lease agreement allows us to do so." I give Paul a big fat gold star for today because Wendy (for some reason) is always hesitant to stand up to the neighbors even when she is right, even when they are doing something illegal (like parking over the sidewalk) she always worries about them getting pissed & I usually offer to come over & scream at them but she never lets me! That's beside the point, I wouldn't have even included the part about it not being recurring, I say invite all of your friends over that smoke & tell them to light em up!!! Who knows, maybe they can smoke em out, ha ha ha. What a crock of shit, what is with people? Who does that?

Who Does That?

So a 27 year old woman named Latreasa L. Goodman went to McDonald's & she paid for her food but was told that they were out of chicken nuggets which she ordered. They asked her if she wanted something else and she told them no & the store told her they couldn't give her the money back. She told them she didn't want anything else, she wanted the nuggets & then told the store to just cancel her order & give her all her money back & they again told her that no they couldn't refund the cash. Anyway, the woman got all pissed & called 911...three times!!! I too would be bummed if they were out of what I came for & yeah it's total crap that they wouldn't give her the money back but she should have called the 1800 number on her receipt when she got home, not 911. Who does that? Click here for the story & links to the 3 911 calls.

A Girl Scout Should Know Better

We just received this picture of one of our signs, it was taken today. How does one tell the Girl Scouts that they aren't allowed to cover a real estate sign with home made posters for cookie sales?

Who Does That?

Today I'm driving to work & the road I take is just a 2 lane so if you are behind some old lady with blue hair you are kind of screwed & today was awful. I was behind a non-old lady in a white car, basic 4 banger & she was going 5 under (40) & kept tapping her brakes which was getting on my nerves because I just wanted to gun it & run her off the road. Well finally as we are coming up a hill toward a light I notice that she is riding the ass of the person in front of her so I let it go & realize that she is like me & also annoyed by what I assume is an old lady with blue hair. This ass riding & brake tapping went on until the next light when white car pulled into the left turn lane and then I saw it, the car she was riding the ass of was a freaking Lotus. You mean to tell me that you are going to pay $75,000+ dollars on a car & you can't even be bothered to go the speed limit, who does that? The speed limit is 45 & this guy (yes it was a man) was going about 38. Once we opened up to 2 lanes he moved over & I gunned it & flew past him giving him a very dirty look & shaking my fist at him as well.

One more for ya but since it also involves stupid drivers I figured I might as well do them together. Yesterday I'm on my way home from work & it was actually a very pleasant drive until I got to my final turn. I make a left off of the street I'm on & need to make a right pretty much immediately so as I always do I get in the right lane & wait for that light to turn green. The line is pretty long which isn't all that rare but it's not the norm so I wait & the light changes & we move up like 1 car length so now I see the light turning red & I'm getting pissed. Cars are shifting in & out of my lane and then I see the flashing lights so I take it back hoping that something terrible hasn't happened. The last time I was stuck behind a cop car with it's flashers on it's because there was a dead baby deer in the road, so sad. Anyway, I move into the next lane with everyone else & then make the wide right turn to the street I need and I look & there is a woman sitting in her car waiting for her ticket. It's 5:30 on a weekday & you don't think to maybe pull into the driveway at the next business on the other side of the light? You completely block the intersection making it next to impossible for those of us who are trying to turn to do so, did you pass drivers ed? A better question is why didn't the cop tell her to pull into the driveway, I'm assuming nobody gives a shit or maybe the cop chewed her out for being stupid & blocking the intersection to begin with. I mean dude, who does that? See diagram below :)

Who Does That?

Welcome my friends to the first of edition of Who Does That? I often come in contact with people who do dumb shit & I think to myself, "come on, who does that?" and obviously the response is "assholes like them". So I've decided to start posting my who does that thoughts & see what you all think or who knows maybe you'll read one & think "shit, I do that" & realize that you too are an asshole!! Ok here we go:

A man flies to a different state to attend a wedding of a friend, he then rents a car to drive the extra 40 minutes to said wedding, he gifts the bride & groom of course then drives the 40 minutes back to where he is staying then the next day flies back home. Three months later he receives an e-thanks which states that the groom is sending them this way to save on postage. Save on postage? Hello, the least they could do was send a paper thank you to those who came from out of state & paid a crap load more than locals to spend their happy day with them. Now I ask you, who does that?
