Photo Challenge, Day 8. The final day.
Barbara over at the always awesome Bad Tempered Zombie has challenged us to post a photo a day that hints at having a story to tell. This is the last pairing of dogs we have had over the years. And is our current set of pooches. Thanks for looking in, and thanks for the challenge Barbara!
Wait, when did they videotape me?
ReplyDeleteI do this kind of thing all the time. I hate rude, disrespectuful assholes, and have no problem calling them on it. I think it comes from teaching adolescent children for the last 17 years.
In 1994, I took a trip to see an old friend in Frankfurt, Germany. I had to go downtown to get a passport. I'd had to wait in line for an hour to find that I had the wrong size picture. I had to run to another store to get the picture done, and stand in line for another hour. As the line crawled, a guy ran in, told the whole crowd standing in line that he had tickets for a flight tomorrow, and could he cut in front of us in line. I asked him if he had just filled out the application. He replied that he had. I told him 1, that they were not going to be able to process a new applicaton in one day (I think the bare minimum then was three days), and 2, to quote a sign my ex keeps on her desk, "Your lack of planning does not constitute my emergency. Yes, I have a problem with it."
Once I spoke up, others did too.
Another thing I hate is idiots with 25 items in the "10 Items or Fewer" line in a grocery store. My old friend Chuck provided me with the perfect line for those occasions: Ask them, "What is it, that you can't read or you can't count?"
