Things that totally, completely piss me off.

~ Getting stuck in line behind the people that are paying with their Lone.Star.Card (a.k.a. medicaid) that 1) can't decide on which items they want to buy 2) have to argue over the price of EVERYTHING 3) don't speak English and 4) have to try to figure out what to buy or to put pack when their medicaid won't cover all the items they want. This has happened twice in less than two weeks and I'm sick of it! Both times it has taken waiting in line for 20 minutes. Grrrrrr. The guy behind me the first time made a comment that he was paying with cash, so at least he'd be fast. To that the cashier responded just be thankful you can pay in cash, some people need the help, you don't. I thought about it and agreed for about 2.1 seconds before I wanted to say, "but I bet he also has a job, doesn't have 5 kids under the age of 5, and has enough pride to not live off the government." But I refrained, now I wish I hadn't.

~ Women that are pregnant and take it for granted. Why? Why, why, why do I have to witness stupid stuff pregnant women do? We were outside last night visiting with neighbors when a pg neighbor (three houses down, had never met her) walked up. She promptly grabbed a beer and started drinking. When the person next to her said she wasn't supposed to do that she patted her big pregnant belly and says, "it's not gonna hurt her." You dumbass. There are thousands of women that would give anything to be in your shoes, respect that precious miracle and take care of her! Dumbass (did I already call her that?)!

~ People who text while they are driving. WTF? Really? You can't wait until you're stopped to send that message? I'd rather you not kill my family thank you very much! "Honk if you love Jesus, Text if you want to see him soon." Think about it.

~ Idiots. 'Nuff said.

~ People who feel the need to comment on everything. And I meant EVERYTHING. Nobody cares what you did, when you did it, how well you did it, or that you want to do it again. So shut it.

~ People who get pregnant and 1) didn't want to be pregnant to begin with and 2) had been pregnant before so they obviously know how it happens. If you don't want to be pregnant and you know how it all works, then you prevent it. Condoms, BCPs, the big snip, etc... there are many ways. Quit being a dumbass and when it happens, don't come whining to me about how you can't afford it or you weren't ready or your house isn't big enough or blah, blah, freaking blah. I do not feel sorry for you nor do I really care what you are saying. I'm smiling because I'd like to just knock the snot out of you right now and am imagining just that in my head.

OK, I feel a little better now, so perhaps I'll just end it with that. Sometimes I'm amazed I'm a teacher because I'm totally not a people person (especially when said people are idiots).

We are going to the beach tomorrow for what was supposed to be a great, beachy Fourth of July weekend, but then damn Hurricane.Alex came and ruined that. Now we are going to the beach for a great, wet Fourth of July weekend. Oh well, could be worse, could've been like Ike I guess.
