World is going crazy

I must be getting old-- I find myself more and more annoyed with people --I just kinda think-- Well that's your choice --"stupid"-- Kind of annoyed-- Its like little things that never bothered me before now are just incredibly annoying-- That squeek in the dash of my truck-- UGH cant stand it-- so I tried to wd40 it-- Now the truck smells like wd40 every time I get in it-- but the squeek is still there.

Customers are getting annoying-- "DUH everyone knows you do not do that"-- (well apparently not EVERYONE)

I think that is where my annoyance is coming from- irritation at customers who are actually - STUPID-- "Well no one told me I couldn't put coins in the cash only depositor in the ATM- there should be a warning label"-- "what i can't jam a business card stapled to the cash?- It doesn't say that"

We actually had a truck parked in the lane at an ATM and a guy hit it-- He didn't scrape his windshield more then a 4" square--- Tried to blame our truck because it is not well marked! Ugh.

Had a customer take apart a vacuum lane because the tube "was stuck"-- It wasn't "stuck" they never put one in-- I reassembled the lane and they guy said he was going to refuse to pay because "it wasn't his fault there was nothing wrong". SO I better not bill him be cause the machine wasn't broke until he took it apart then could reassemble it-- after a 1.5 hour drive? I tried to calmly explain that I drove there and reassembled it because it wasn't working when I got there-- His last words were "Well I better not be billed"

I was kinda offered a new job yesterday- but I don't know if that would be any better. I would still have to deal with the public.

Over the years it just seems to get worse-- or maybe I am getting crankier. I have less tolerance for "stupid" people

OH and while I am ranting-- People who stand in line buying scratch off- and then buying more and more while still in line while others are waiting-- should be shot.

HAHAHAHAHAA!!!

Speaking of world going crazy, I just read a portion of an article talking about an 11 year old in (Missouri?) that just gave birth.. Maybe more of that happens than I am aware, but it just makes me sick in the stomach to think about young people having relations at that age. I know it's happened throughout history, and its a norm in a select few other countries, but it doesn't settle well with me.

So I was in the McDonald’s drive-through this morning and the lady behind me honked at me and flipped me off because I was taking to long to order. Wow. (Take the high road).

So I paid for her food.

I moved up and she leaned out the window looking all crazy at me because the teller told her I paid for her food. She felt embarrassed.

When I got to the second window to get my food, I showed them both receipts and took her food too!

I paid for it, it’s mine! Now she has to wait even longer. 😂

So I Honked my horn and screamed back, “Patience is a virtue”😂

She gonna learn today!

My wife came home from McDonalds really mad. First some guy takes forever to order, Second when she goes to pay they said it was paid for and then when she goes to pick it up the butt head ahead of her took her food too.
