Pet Peeve of the Day

Okay,

I live in a gated community. There is no guard or anyhthing. You just pull up to the gate and you punch in your code and the gate opens. Easy enough. So, I get a littl excited when I pull in behind someone because that means they have to put their car up to the metal box, they have to lean uncomfortably out of the car, they have to punch in the code and then they have to put the seat belt back on and drive up to the gate. No matter what, out of pure curtesy, I wait for the person in front of me to get himself settled, I let im pull in first and then I follow behind him. I th ink it's perfect etitquette to let the person who was there first, pull in first. Don't you agree?

So, last night I get home around 10 something and I'm the first person at the gate. I pull up and take off the seat belt (pain in the ass) lean way out of the car so that I can push the numbers(pain in the ass) and then I sit back, put the seat betl back on and I realize that the guy behind me is trying to push his way in front ofme. He wants to get through the gate first even though I just went through all of the work of putting in the code and taking off the seat belt etc. So, I made sure to floor the gas pedal, I swerved in front of him so quick. He probably didn't know what hit him, but there was no way I was allowing him to get through the gate before me.

Come on people. It's simple etiquette. If somone is there before you, let them put in the code and go first. You can follow them right behind. Don't be a fucker and jump in front of them. It's bullshit and totally uncalled for.

So, Angie the kleptomaniac and thief and liar and user is having a birthday party for her 4 year old, Dylan tomorrow. It's star wars themed and when I saw him about a week ago he was so happy to give me my invitation and he was begging meto come to his party. So, even though I'm not fond of Angie the liar. I am actually very fond of Dylan and Paige her adoragle two kids. So, I'll make an appearance at the kiddie party. I love free cake too, did I mention that? I'm going to head over to North Las Vegas today and have my dad come to the kids r us store and help me pick out some star wars action figures. I'm way out of my league when it comes to buying boy toys. Girls are super easy. I know that when I was a kid I loved barbie dolls and cute little girly makeup sets that you can play with and I loved princess stuff and I loved anything that sparkled. I think I was really easy to buy for. Star Wars stuff is way out of my league, but hopefully I'll find something that's fun and modern. I wouldn't want to buy him something that is so last year. Know what I mean?

Well, those are my pet peeves for the day!

I have a lead on a job and I won't say anything yet because right now I'm just crossing my fingers. But, if it comes through, well, let me just say - WOW!!!!!!!!! I will be beyond excited to get this job. I am praying my butt off and crossing my fingers and crossing my toes and just begging karma to give me another chance. So, please cross your fingers for me and send positive thoughts my way. More to come on the job situation. As soon as I find out something I will let you know!!

Haha- sorry I had to laugh about your gated community. I lived in one when I was bartending in San Diego, and I can home SO drunk a few times that I 1) forgot the code (am I serious..come on!) and had to park on the outside and walk in (giggle) or 2) drove too close to the little silver box and I totally scratched the shit out of my rear-view mirror with it...more than once.

Sweet.

I hate those gates.

GL on the job! Totally come and write for LLV. We'd love to have you!
