Things to be left in 2014

People being SLAMMED in the media.

I'm sick of reading reports that say someone SLAMMED someone else when all they did was say something about them. Mentioning a person in a topic is not slamming them.

Ah well -- happy-haps, folks. I greatly enjoyed 2014, here's to a fun 2015!

Not a bad year, minus the last two weeks were everything seemed to go to shit. Oh well, onward, upward and all that happy whore shit.

I've got quite a list:

Selfie Sticks. Selfie Sticks can be left in 2014.

The media trying to find links in every little crime to bikies or terrorism.

Speaking of terrism, bogans/rednecks making the argument that halal food funds it.

The idea that being offended somehow gives you rights over the person or thing that offended you.

People saying "It's hot innit?" On hot days.

I've never heard the "halal food funds terrorism" angle before. Good thing that Americans are too smart to fall for something like that. The article is an interesting read. Ms. Smith is very easy on the eyes, but Sweet Baby Jesus is she an idiot.

Yeah, being a mailman, I hear "hot enough for you?" a lot. Along with:
"Cold enough for you?"
"Raining enough for you?"
"If those are bills you can keep them."
"Do you have my million dollar check?"

I try to be cool about it and humor them, unless they are serial offenders. After 20 years, my responses to these are almost robotic, they come out without thinking.

Does that robotic response include a surprise bitch slap once every 5000 stupid questions.


One thing that kind of drives me crazy is being called "sir". That is the one thing that makes me feel old. When I'm called "sir" my standard response is "Don't call me sir. I pretend to work for a living." which usually gets a laugh.
I had that turned around on me about a month or so ago. I was making a delivery to a Golden Corral and their kitchen area is very tight. There were two ladies standing in front of me and I said "Excuse me, senora." I heard some talking in Spanish and then I was informed that she was a senorita and not a senora. She did this with her hands on her hips and then she turned and walked away. I felt like a fucking idiot. Heh.

I wish the ringing in my ears would've stayed in '14.
