Damned Thunder Bay Drivers, Disgusting Humidity,Thunderstorms causing Power Outages, and Some Asshole Trying to "Get To Know Me Better!" HA!

Okay..first off...my bad. I know my loyal Blogger Family has been anxiously awaiting a new post, but alas, try as I might, I couldn't get the time to even check my emails. No kidding! I had 86 messages waiting for me..okay they were mostly spam, but I did get some nice messages, some jokes, and a terrific pic sent to me by Sugarfoot. Hey, that was one hell of an elk you shot there! I bet it was good eats too. MMMM..eeeelllllllkkkk...(drools).
I guess I should explain my absence...mostly I've just been putting in long ridiculous hours at the family pizzeria, not to mention also in the past week helped my Mom with painting some walls in one of the houses she owns, AND all the while dealing with humidity from hell!! Its like spending your whole day standing by a pizza oven thats put in a sauna. Temperatures got so extreme there for a while that I had to take drastic measures to keep cool. One was to drink lots of water, but at ice cold temps..then had to soak my head down with ice cold water, and finally, to work with a wet towel wrapped around my neck with all the fans blowing. Of course with the humidity comes the huge thunderstorms here and there, which basically guarantees that our town is engulfed in darkness when a storm hits at night, prompting me to search blindly for my cigarette lighter so I can get my bearings. Ah! I don't mind really..justa s long as I don'thave a pizza in the oven...kinda hard to tell if a pizza is ready if its pitch black.
Anyhoo, Mom and I just got back tonight from Thunder Bay..yeah..we closed for 2 days and went shopping. It was great because I found and bought 2 pairs of clip on shades for my specs. I wear prescription, so it would be pricey to have prescription sunglasses made up. I absolutely loove them!! I feel like I'm going incognito, plus I find that I can look directly at people in the eyes and stare without them noticing. I noticed a lot of people checking me out...wierd. Not in a bad way tho. I guess I looked like a cool hippy chick..what can I say? I have my own thing goin' on.
Well, after we hit the mall, Mom decided to pop into Superstore to pick up some groceries before we headed home. Going into Superstore at 3 in the afternoon is not a great idea my friends..its just packed with shoppers. I almost lost it on someone in the parking lot...well, both Mom and I did. We were searching for a spot close to the main doors to park...and we find one...and just as we're about to pull in..some coffin-dodger comes barrelling in with his oversized SUV and almost rams Moms gorgeous Cadillac. Keep in mind everyone, that we had already began turning into the spot and he could tell we claimed the spot first. Does he back off after Mom leans on the horn and both of us gesturing a "what the fuck do you think you're doing?" at him???? NO...he keeps moving his fucking vehicle in, forcing my mother to back the car up and find another spot. Okay at this point I was completely furious...he freaked Mom out so much I thought she was going to have a heart attack. So when I went in..I made it my purpose to track down the guy and freak on him. Seriously! I really wanted to ask him this question.."Hey! Do you always drive like an asshole or is this just an off day for you?". When I caught up with him, I could sense he knew I was angry, and he turned away...but before he did I was alarmed, cause he looked like he wasn't quite right in the head, like he had Alzheimers or something....I know about Alzheimers cause I lived with a lady for over a year who'd suffered from it. He just had this vacant look on his face, and I knew that if I confronted him about it, he may not remember what took place. I walked away, now infuriated that people like this guy can still keep his license after the senseless crap he pulled. And I'm sure I'm not the first person he did it to. One of these days he'll kill someone..there were loads of pedestrians around that had to give his vehicle a wide berth because his driving was completely erratic. Whats funny is I spend an exorbiant amount of money to go through Drivers Ed, got one more level to complete for the full G license (Graduated licensing..I can drive on my own...in 11 months I take the Highway exam, which is also the exit test), and this guy looked old enough to have gotten his after only paying five bucks at the local post office. I don't care how many years one's been on the road..I think every 5 years, on your Birthday, you should have to take a driving test to ensure your driving skills are up to par. Yeah..that would cost a lot of money, but hey! It would also create jobs right? And it'll keep people on their toes so they don't develop bad habits over time. Anyhoo, this guy just disgusted me, so I was happy when we finally got our stuff paid for and we left T-Bay.
Hmmm....oh! Almost forgot my other rant...yup...someone tried to order pizza at 3am on Saturday.I was already putting the chairs up on the tables to sweep and mop, and this guy (drunk of course) comes in to order. Totally oblivious to the fact my Mom is doing her cashout, I'm cleaning up, the sign is turned off...how many more hints do these people need???? Mom said no and then he turns to me, and , standing close (TOO close..I have a personal bubble) he asks something about what I thought about being closed..I told him " I just do my job and go home." and I moved away from him cause Iswear if he tried to touch me I would've given Pizzaslinger real life and let her finish him off. Well, you think he'd leave but he goes on to ask," You just do your job and go home? (God! I HATE when someone repeats what I say...I didn't fucking stutter!) You should come out sometime and have fun". I said "Not interested." He says, "You're not interested?? Hey, you got an education right? You got a diploma or something?" I said, "Yeah." He says," What did you take?" I said "Classes." He says "In what courses?" I said "All kinds. " He says, "What you're not going to tell me?" Mom steps in and says, " What the fuck you mean she didn't tell you? She just told you! She went to school and took all kinds of classes! Whats it to you if she's got an education? You think she's not educated like you?" One of his friends comes in ( a female) and says to the guy, "Why are you bothering these ladies when they're trying to close?" I turned to her and said "Thank you!" She finally shooes him out with him mumbling "What did I do? I was just making conversation."
Okay..."making conversation" does not mean playing the game "20 questions"! I mean, why do guys like this feel the need to interrogate me like that? I don't like it, and all the women I've spoken to on the subject detests it too... so STOP please. Plus, standing too close to a woman who does not know you from Adam and Eve, especially when you got alcohol stank on your breath is a total no no..you may thnk you're palying it cool, or being slick, but for a gal like myself..well...lets just say if I had Mace or a Taser on me I would've put it to good use that night. Apparantly this guy thought he was a smooth motherfucker, some "nice guy" who claimed he was "a good customer". Oh yeah? Then how come I never saw him ever before?????HMMMMMM? Believe me...I'd remember some asshole like him. I would rather cut off my hands with the meat slicer than go on a date in this town, or let some drunk asshole try to touch me. I swear to God..if I get propositioned again..that guy is going to get his eyes poked out. All you asshole men in this shitsplat town in the Back Forty..PAY ATTENTION!!! I'm NOT trying to play "Hard to Get" with you..I'm simply NOT INTERESTED IN YOU!!!! Contrary to what people may believe..I do not need a relationship at this point in time...Christ..thats the last thing I need. All you Back Forty men are NOT all that. Believe me....the ugliest, drunkest, most disgusting freaks live here. Would you believe me Blogger family if I told you that Northern Ontario has the second highest percentage of single men in Canada..only second to the first place winner Fort McMurray, which boasts a population of which over 60% is male..which makes Fort Mac a very dangerous place to live if you're a single gal like me. Chances of getting raped by more than one assailant is higher there no doubt, also the chance of getting a venereal disease. Yeah..Herpes is the gift that keeps on giving. Absolutely disgusting! Chances of being told you're "Hot" and "You should come party with me sometime" by a stinking unwashed deadbeat in Manitouwadge is guaranteed if you're a woman here..married or not..apparantly, morality at this point just falls by the wayside.....I've heard of several married couples who engage in "swinging" (swapping spouses for a sexual encounter FYI) which is also completely gross. Especially since the couples in question don't exactly have porn star worthy bodies...very much the opposite...a gross image comes to mind...looks like..two pigs fighting under a blanket.
Okay that last rant made me a tad nauseated. How bout you? Gonna quit this entry for another day..but before I go, here's my Blogger question. What's your rant for the week? This one should be interesting. It can be anything from rude people to not having enough grip strength to open a jar of freakin pickles. Let me know! Peace!
