Folks who walk around with their umbrellas open a half hour after it stopped raining should be forcibly removed from the public streets This guy's had his umbrella open for 33 years:  Of course, he and the umbrella are both made of bronze, so it would be difficult for him to close it. |

That's not how I pictured Doc Savage!

Portland and the Amazonian Rain Forest are one of the few exceptions to my umbrella rule. If it's not raining, in minutes it will

After quite a lull I finally drank a Heineken today. Beastly cold. I hope it does not make my arse fat.

There, you can get a proper Heineken on tap, far removed from the skunky swill they sell in the grocery stores. It's totally worth the exaggerated posterior.  |

As much as we love her, and it's wonderful seeing her as President in the Supergirl TV show... Lynda Carter couldn't act her way out of a wet paper bag. There, I said it. Yeah; but she was Meryl Streep, compared to Cathy Lee Crosby. Elmo was never fit to carry Grover's cape or helmet. There, I said it! |

I'm a night shift cashier for both upfront and electronics. I do not just stand around by a register all night. I have a list of tasks I have to complete before 7am. I have to clean, stock, and organize as well as check people out. And that's just a summary of my tasks. I cannot stand it when someone gets mad at me because I'm not standing right at my register when they approach. So, they have to wait two seconds for me to step back up to my register? That does not give them the right to glare, snarl, or snap at me. Do I snap at them for walking towards the register and then stopping to browse the candy for five minutes making me wait when I could've used that five minutes to complete a item on my task list? No, that would get me fired. Or coached.
Can't we fire customers?? Or teach them how to be a good one at least???
There I said it!

Don't know what's up with my face but I'm constantly stopped on the street by strangers asking directions. The rude part is when clearly I have my earphones on listening to music and there's plenty of others all around me. I don't look like Rand, I don't look like McNally. If I'm preoccupied, just do me a favor. GET LOST

From my time in retail jobs I've found a lot of Americans are terrible customers. They may not be terrible people but they are on that side of the register. Maybe it's society that's told these people they can have a chip on their shoulder when they're the customer or an inflated sense of entitlement. Have I seen lazy or incompetent workers? Yes. It's not always the customer asking too much. But many times I found it is. Like a lady I had screaming for me to call the manager on his day off because she wanted to return a half drank case of Coke because it was flat. It took you 12 cans to realize it was flat? Makes me so thankful I haven't worked in food service yet, and hopefully never will have to. |

I know it's around here somewhere but it's my first time in New York. "Woman, shut your mouth. It's the least important opening in your body." Welcome to NY  |

Ish is walking down a street in downtown Manhattan, one of thousands within visual range, earplugs blasting a favorite album
An obvious out-of-towner taps him on the shoulder and begins to mouth some question, inaudible due to the music
He gives her a cold blank-variant cover stare
He points at a direction, not even knowing what she asked
He'll chuckle to himself the rest of the day
