Overheard anywhere in the U.S. except SoFla:
A young man is in a checkout line behind a woman with a small dog quietly sitting in her grocery cart. The woman is behind me. I am paying for my purchases.
“Wow, they let you bring a dog in here?” he asks.
“Yeah, as long as he’s in the cart,” she replies, smiling.
“He’s really cute. Can I pet him?”
“Sure, he’s friendly.”
Same scenario yesterday in a SoFla Dollar Store:
“Wow, they let you bring that dog in here?” he asks.
No reply.
“He’s really cute. Can I pet him?”
“Yeah, if you give me a cigarette.”
“What? I just want to pet your dog.”
“And I said only if you give me a cigarette! No one pets my dog for free.”
“Oh yeah? Well then f— you, bitch!”
I have absolutely nothing intelligent to say about this except I wish I was making it up.

Wow.
cee cee–I know. I can’t wait for the day I don’t call this area home.
Sounds about right.

Wonderful 🙂
Rick–Yep
Kim–Wonderfully awful!
Absolutely – it’s the kind of think you can’t overhear without thinking, “I have to tell someone about this” – and as you have a blog… 🙂
Precisely why I spent only 2 years there. I think the tipping point was when I was cussed out (in Spanish) at the host stand by a Latino “lady”. She didn’t like that her rich, entitled behind would have to wait 2 hours on a Friday night without a reservation. But she was even more pissed that I didn’t speak Spanish. The Nerve of me!
Um, you aren’t taking your guys shopping with you now, are you?

Wow…speechless
First off I want to say fantastic blog! I had a quick
question in which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.
I have had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out.
I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just
seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost just trying to figure out how
to begin. Any ideas or tips? Thanks!
Have you ever thought about including a little bit
more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important
and all. However think of if you added some great visuals or videos to give your posts
more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and videos,
this site could undeniably be one of the best in its niche.
Wonderful blog!
hey there and thank you for your info – I’ve certainly picked up
anything new from right here. I did however expertise several technical
issues using this website, since I experienced to reload the site a lot of
times previous to I could get it to load properly. I had been wondering if your hosting is OK?
Not that I’m complaining, but slow loading instances times
will often affect your placement in google and can damage your high quality
score if advertising and marketing with Adwords. Well I am adding this RSS to my e-mail
and can look out for a lot more of your respective fascinating content.
Ensure that you update this again soon.
