i have a very low tolerance for ignorance....
so i work in this restaurant and it is not uncommon for people to pull the race card on the people who work there (couldn't tell you why, we're pretty much the most diverse group of individuals that you could think of)...anyway, so this guy comes in and decides that he is going to be a racist prick from the get go..so to make this story short he ends up calling me a yankee and i asked him what exactly he meant by that and he told me that i was an asshole...yea that's right dude, i'm a racist yankee asshole, considering i've lived in the south my whole life...whatever...so i was already fed up with that...i am so sick of people pulling the race card....when will people get it through their thick skulls that maybe people treat them as they do because they are ignorant assholes, not because of their race....
and why do people always assume i'm a racist from the getgo?....is it perhaps because i'm WHITE? if so i think that makes you the racist, not me. sorry you feel that way. but go ahead, assume that because i'm white that i am automatically a member of the KKK and hate you because you're black...that's fine, but its no way to go through life!
if that isn't enough to ruin my day, i've been dreading having to get new tires for my car because they are so damn expensive...so i finally go get new tires today...not only do i have to wait 4 hrs and pay them $600 BUT they are apparently MORONS who are ILLITERATE. i noticed right after i left that my car just wasn't driving right so when i got to a stopping point, i checked it out to find that the person at the TIRE specific automotive store didn't read the tires and put them on BACKWARDS! of course i called and spoke to the manager who then appologizes to me and says that he forgot to tell the tech who was putting the tires on that he needed to check that.....i appreciate his appology and all but really? the guy couldn't read for himself? i mean i'm no tire technician but when it says side facing INWARDS, i would only assume that it should be facing towards the car....he shouldn't have to be told that...and here's the kicker, this particular tire was specifically made for this chain of tire retailers....if he couldn't figure out that tire then i dont want to know what else he doesnt know.....ignorance is no excuse....
i appologize for the rant, but these things just bother me to no end. sometimes i just want to bop people on the head like they do in the v8 commercials...
until next time
