Adults are Stupid (rantings of a teenager)

Adults tell kids all the time to "cherish your childhood" but at the exact same time they tell kids to "grow up" to "act your age". What many don't understand is that they are acting their own. age. They forget that when they were that age they did dumb shit too. They don't really mean act your own age, what they mean to say is "act mature but not to"... I am so done with this. Adults overall to me just seem so ridiculously STUPID. Adults will be the first to blame a kid (even when it isn't the kids fault), Adults will be the first to defend a fellow adult (even if they're wrong), Adults will be the absolute last(!!!!) person on hte face of the planet to listen to a child. That's exacdtly why when a child gets put on the stand in a courtroom as a prime witness or something of that nature the child's statement isn't seen as actual evidence or it is dismissed.

The Subject of Objectifying Women

People... no Women argue all day long about how rap videos, prostitution, etc. objectify women and make them seem less inferior and always blame the person behind the action; rappers, pimps, magazine publishers etc. instead of the women. Isn't it the women that actually CHOOSE to do that?

XXXBREAKXXX

Granted that yes as far as prostitution goes, not all prostitutes have a choice. Either way

XXXRESUME RANTXXX

People are always so quick to blame the man in the role. It's not the man that forces women to do things that some may seem as degrading. It's the women's own free will that makes her do things of a "questionable" nature. So why does none of the blame go to the women? Do you think they are completely sad (Again yes some may be)? No, they ran up in front of that camera just as happy as they could be.

Bad Customer


First off I work at a small coffee shop. now the story can begin.


Good Customers: This one day a guy came in and asked for a small tea. I pointed him to our selection and he asked if we had a particular kind and I said what we have there is all we have. he picked one and handed it to me. At the last minute he changes his mind, so he takes it back and picks another one and said "Sorry I don't mean to be difficult". And he really wasn't being difficult at all, and that fact that he was still apologizing for it was just so great. I love customers like this.



Just recently (from the time this was written) I was working and a woman orders a hot tea, a diet snapple and she's going to order a sandwich but she can't make up her mind. Her and I talk for a bit and she decides to get a tuna melt, and I completely forgot all the other stuff she ordered but she was nice enough to remind me of it in a polite way that made us both laugh. So I give her the tea, and the snapple. She ends up waiting up to 10 mins. or more for her sandwich because (at the place I work there's always 2 people on a shift, I was in the front and my co-worker Sarah was in the back, she was working on the sandwiches) two women ordered sandwiches before her and they had to be made. I took even longer for her sandwich to get made because Sarah dropped her sandwich when she tried to put it on the grill. After the woman finishes her sandwich she orders a small cup of peppermint ice cream. I ring her up and give her the wrong amount of change, she realized it before I did but said it was fine. She gets the ice cream, sits down, and eats it. She comes back a few minutes later and says it tastes bad. So her, Sarah, and I are trying to figure out what's wrong. The woman was still so nice and asked for just a couple of small scoops from the bottom, I did that and she said it was fine. She comes back to the register and wants two canisters of tea.

"Do you guys take checks if they're from San Fransisco?"

"Yeah" (we're only allowed to take local checks, what I thought this meant was within the Bay Area.....I was wrong) The lady comes back after going to her car and getting her checkbook.

"I've got some bad news"

"You can't take my check"

"Yeah, sorry."

"Okay now I have to decide which of these I want" She decides which one to get so I ring her up on that and for some stupid reason the register (which was made in the 70's) taxes her, which it isn't suppose to do. After everything that woman had been through she is now my favorite person for not losing because just about any other person at that point would've just lost it.





Bad Customer: Another guy walks in, I think he was African... or English. He asks for a large tea so I ring him up on the register. This is where it begins, "Is that gonna be it for you?" "Yes" "Okay your total is two ten." "No"

xxxBREAKxxx

One of my bigest pet peeves is when a statement is made (not a question a statement) and then the other person simply says "No". Just no as if that answers everything, no kind of reason just "No". That has got to be the dumbest response EVER. Like by just saying "No" the other person will understand completely You don't respond to a statement with a "No" at least have a reason behind "No" you douche bag!

xxxRESUME STORYxxx "

"No" At this point I want to say something along the lines of "What the f*$k do you mean "no"?
"That's not the right price." When this event took place I had been working there for about 2 1/2 months. But for all he knew I'd been working there to a point where I knew everything so how the f*$k is he going to tell me 'what the right price is'. But just to appease him I go and talk to my co-worker Juarez (who has been working there for about 7 years) to see if I "made a mistake"(rolls eyes sarcastically) he says what I rang him up as was right. So I go back to the man and says "That's how much it costs" "Is this Starbucks?"

xxxBREAKxxx
You have got to be kidding me. I can't even begin to fully express the sheer stupidity of this man's words. First off.... Do you see Starbucks anything ANYWHERE in the store? When you walk in there's a sign that says "Friends Don't Let Friends Go To Starbucks". If you've EVER been inside a Starbucks they have their insignia ALL OVER THE PLACE. You literally cannot take half a step into Starbucks without seeing that earthy mermaid thing.

xxxRESUME STORYxxx

I simply look at him and say no. "Is there a Starbucks near here?" I give him directions to a Starbucks near by and he says "Eh, I'll just buy it." Then he asks me what kind of tea we have.

I point him to our selection. He said he was tired of Earl Grey and looked through the teas. He twists the containers their in to see the names and says "These are all fake teas"..... I really wanted to say 'Look either get the tea or don't that's all we have so stop bitching about it!' He then makes a decision and opens the container and tries to put a bag into the cap of the container like he's afraid to touch the bag. First of all it's his bag I don't see why he wouldn't want to touch it. In doing this he drops a a bag on the counter so it can't be used by anyone now. It would've been much simpler to just pick it out of the container by hand but no. He decides to go all dumb-ass and drop a bag like an idiot.

In short I truly love good customers with all my heart.
As for teh bad customers.... they can suck it.

Teen Celebs that Don't Amount to $h!t

Let's start off small and work our way up.
Mitchel Musso, the only thing about him that bugs me is that he did a remake of the song 'Lean on Me' by Bill Withers..... and it sucked I mean it really sucked.
The Naked Brothers Band. The lead singer... to me it sounds like he just raises the pitch in his voice to make it go higher not actually singing. I've only heard a couple of songs but he's not much of a singer. Again my opinion.
Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus. I have a theory. She got where she is because of her dad, in my opinion she can't sing that well, I'm pretty sure she can't dance and um well that's about it. I can't stand how there are hundreds of people extremely more talented than her and yet not only does she have a full blown making money up the wall music career but also has a TV show.

(next time: whatever I feel like at the time)

Disney Channel and Affiliate "Celebrities"

The Disney Channel has come a long way from what it use to be. Wasn't there a time where the shows had morals (a lesson) and real life situations without really being an after school special. Boy Meets World, Sister Sister, Growing Pains etc. these shows were actually realistic. Personally I grew up on Disney Channel, I mainly stuck to cartoons because after all who didn't love Ducktales, Bonkers, Chip n' Dale: Rescue Rangers. Compare those shows to the stuff you have now, Hannah Montana, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, that's So Raven... just pure entertainment. Back then shows were actually realistic with an understandable conflict that didn't have to be created every new episode by some far fetched plot-driver. Phil of the Future, plain and simple was Disney flashing their big shiny budget.

Has anyone else ever noticed how whenever kids end up on the Disney Channel all of the sudden they have "musical talent". Now I can understand those who say "Well they used Disney Channel to jump-start their music career." This may be true but that sure is a whole lot of people who just coincidentally all want to make it in the music industry. Quite a few of these "singers" take songs that have already been done and put their own little twist on it showing lack of originality and overall talent. Selena Gomez, Mitchel Musso are a couple of examples of those who have "musical talent".

So props to the Disney Channel for producing mindless entertaining drabble and for becoming just like all the other networks. So proud of you.

Overall not much of a rant but it's been on my mind.


(next rant Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus and Mitchel Musso)

Emos and Veganism

One thing I can't stand though is when people complain and moan about nothing, they chose the absolute minute thing to cry over. In my opinion that one song “I Must be Emo by Hollywood Undead" could not be more true. Especially since one of my friends is "emo" (although you wouldn't know it by looking) but he does majority of the stuff that they mention. I know it's supposed to be stereotypical but is it really? Sure I guess. Something that bothers me more is the people that only dress in the emo style. For example one of those people was standing behind me in line and talking to their friends and he had just realized that being vegan meant not eating marshmallows because apparently there are horse hooves in marshmallows (????????). While we're on the topic of veganism I hate how it was a fad about a year ago and most likely still is. Like out of nowhere meat is like bringing your parents out on a date with you (apologies for the bad analogy). If meat isn't your thing I get it that's all fine and good. If you jump straight to veganism then obviously there's a problem. One of my friends is vegan. When she was five she saw this video and from then on began cutting meat out of her diet (she just lost the desire for meat) and she became a vegetarian and over time became vegan. This is an understandable process. But not the other (wannabe) emo pricks that do it just because. An there's my rant for the day.
