sammij said: PunkMistress said: "Well, it's a restaurant"?? Huh? WTF does that have to do with anything? Good for you, Sammi and Richard, for saying something in defense of those people. Right? I'm sure she was fumbling for a response to attach to that. But NO TIME FOR FOOLS. I hope she feels guilty for how she's acting - and as manager! Shit like that gets me so angry - an honest mistake shouldn't be met with anger and impatience, what good does that do for anyone? Yeah, that's really cool that you spoke up like that, especially in front of everyone. I bet the manager will calm her antics a bit. | |

It confuses me, I feel all mixed up, I don't feel safe...my solution is to not give to anybody on the street. Stop and pull out my wallet? No. I see it as being a gatekeeper to my own energy and it's not particularly healthy for me to open that gate. I did bring a good quality down sleeping bag and some heavy blankets to the local homeless shelter a few months ago though. There were two men sitting outside and when they saw me come in, they wanted to check out my goods. The woman at the desk told me they could really use my stuff. So I actually got to meet and speak with the people who received my things and that felt very rewarding and very respectable on both sides. | |

And talking about people who SUCK
I was crossing at a crosswalk half a block from my house which I have done a hundred times. There's no light, just the crosswalk. I saw a car coming, but it was not so close and even though pedestrians have the right of way and it is LAW that cars stop if the pedestrian has only STEPPED OFF THE CURB, I figured I'd pretty much clear the street by the time she got to the crosswalk. So I have CROSSED the street fully, and this car comes whizzing up honking. So I turn to look at her. And she comes to almost a FULL STOP in order to say BITCH right into my face Is this sane behavior? So I point to the crosswalk. And as she speeds away she gives me I am STILL shocked by this. I'm a sensitive person and that's not nice. | |

Since we've been going through this depression/recession I've seen more midddle-age women out asking for money for their families, I give. In most instances I think people out on the streets are out there by circumstances other than the don't wanna work. Those women should kept their mouths shut, if the didn't wanna donate. Besides, it's not a very safe thing to do. We had an incident here in Chicago last year a women told some panhandlers, "go get a job", they beat her into a coma. | |

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said: On the train I often see a a blind man get on the train asking for money. He always starts off his speech saying he doesn't use the money for drugs or alcohol and could people please help him. Sometimes to prove he's blind, he'll pull the fake eyes out of his head and stand there with the open eye holes.
So he gets on and is asking for money and these two women are in front of me. One asks if he's really blind and the other one says "Yes, he's blind! He pulled out his eyes in front of my kid! Oh my God, it was disgusting! Why they hell are you gonna do that in front of kids?!" Then the other lady asks "Does he do anything special for the money"? I honestly wanted to crack both their heads together. I said "well considering that he has no eyeballs, his being able to actually make it to the train and walk the streets without eyesight should be special enough". Stupid witch just looked at me incredulously People are so jaded that their biggest concerns is their own sensitivity and that someone should perform circus tricks in order to gain their help. I would've interjected twice: Dumb Twat: Why they hell are you gonna do that in front of kids?!" Me: Well, in all fairness, he probably didn't see them. Dumb Twat's Twatty Friend:Does he do anything special for the money? Me: OMG! Sometimes he brings an extra eyeball and he juggles! This is why I'm not allowed in public by myself.

sammij said: People infuriate me.
Just now, I was at a Subway restaurant, and all 3 girls working there were brand new, probably within their first week of employment there. Poor things, clearly had NO training by their slob of a manager, who insisted on yelling at one of them because she didn't know that the beeping meant the bread was baked. She was going on and on about how this one's so stupid, and the other's so clueless. And all the while she was moping at the register, while shouting at the three, who barely knew what they were doing. I tried chatting them up, one told me it was her third day there, and she already hated her life. I really felt for her. I had ordered a 6" but she heated up enough chicken for a foot long.. The bitch started muttering and was like "Uhmmmmm, you KNOW you only need one piece. Don't ever do that again. Put it back where you got it." So she made this girl put back an already heated piece of chicken back with the cold pieces - which i find wrong. And had I the money, I'd pay extra just so she didn't have to. All this took place in front of a very large line. When I got my food and payed, I told her "For the record, it's best you don't scream at your employees infront of customers." She replied with "Well, it's a restaurant." I said "I don't care! When you do that, it looks bad on you and the restaurant. Take that into consideration." It took me everything in my big hungry body not to jump over that counter and shove her head in that toasting oven, that sloppy cow. The newbie made a damn good sub too. [Edited 8/28/09 10:41am] Well, in every restaurant I've ever worked at, management is NOT supposed to demean employees in front of customers. You should really go to Subway's website and see if there is a way of letting someone at corporate know about this. Facebook, I haz it - https://www.facebook.com/Nikster1969

It was a T intersection so I expected the light to turn green and I started into the intersection when I saw the opposite light turn red. There was a green arrow for the right turn, which I didn't realize would be there. Anyway, I am 1 step from the curb and this stupid ass lady comes driving up in the lane and panics like I just threw myself under her wheels! She pokes her head out and points to the green light and starts yelling. As she drove off, in ultimate ghetto loudness I told her F you, you stupid C!
