This month's "Things that piss me off"
What the fuck good is a prius or any other hybrid for that matter if you are going to paint flames down the side of the sombitch and drive around like your gas pedal has two settings...on and off.
What? You getting about 7 miles per gallon out of that thing? Then I see you at the stoplight glaring smugly at my SUV. You know what? They are going to be scraping that snotty ass look off of the underside of an 18 wheeler when you plow under it at 90mph while chatting on your cellphone about how superior you are for going green. Dickheads.
Here in the states we drive on the right side of the road..that's just what we do. I also expect people would use similar logic while walking in the mall or pushing their cart's through the grocery store...nope that's just too much to expect. I've come to the conclusion that I'm surrounded by the walking braindead; idiots that shuffle around mindlessly with the sole purpose of blocking my way, wasting my time and pissing me off.
I was at the grocery store recently and I ended up in line with a cashier who had his pants hanging down below his ass cheeks. This asshole had red underwear and it looked like a fucking baboon's ass. I was dumbfounded. Then the bastard gave me the hard stare and kill whitey go to hell look.
Since I had the kids with me I didn't make a scene. I called the manager from the parking lot. He started making excuses about him forgetting his belt and that Le Tyronell is really a good boy and he wouldn't do anything like that.
I don't normally go off on people but this time something in my head snapped. I told the manager: Your piece of shit gangbanger cashier exposed his entire red calvin klein asscheeks to me, my children and the 90 year old lady behind me. He also glared at me and did not speak during the entire transaction. If you don't do something about it I'm going to your general manager and to corporate. The phone went silent for a second, then the manager started sputtering...he didn't speak to you...well that's unacceptable... I'll get right on it.
Yeah whatever...The manager was probably afraid of confronting LeTyronell and getting his ass capped on the way to his car at midnight....

Forgot his belt!
Way to go Hammer. Glad you socked it to them!
Jen
Hammer, lets save the environment! But we have to look cool, ok?
I have said for years that we should push our carts around the store like we drive our cars. This means no parking in the middle of the aisle. Pull over and parallel park your cart.
Is this so hard? Yes.
I ran into a little Mexican kid at the McD's one afternoon who f'd up my order not once, not twice, but three times. The third time I called him on his mistake, he glared at me, then went to the ice cream machine and started making sundaes. He was on sundae number 12 and there were now six people waiting in line behind me. He kept making sundaes and wouldn't look at me.
Finally the manager came over and corrected my order and worked the register. I told her the boy had an attitude problem and she made the "Sssshhhh" sound. She was truly scared of him.
Way to speak up to management. I have had the pleasure on a few occasions down here.
Our local grocery stores have a uniform policy that is really strict. So no low lying, rude cashiers. Management is everywhere. I live in a REALLY Jewish community. It wouldn't be tolerated for a second. Overall service is exceptional.
But go to the mall and just once I would love someone to notice I am there and to speak English to me. Last time I check it is still the good old USA.
So I tend to go to a ritsy mall farther from my house that caters to the rich and white. Call me racist but I'm not by any stretch. I just want customer service if I am spending my money.
But Wayneicka doe work at the local drug store with Shaneickwa and LaToyanickwa. I try not to go there as service sucks. Walgreens it is. Service with a smile helps.
Have a fun night .
Wow Hammer... Issues? He's an angsty fashion victim that you've promoted to some sort of cop killing Black Panther wannabe?
I wonder what you'd have thought of me if you'd met me in my awkward and stupid youth in some shitty job (and I was black)?
Jennifer: excuses don't work on me :)
mountain cat: Green fashion?
beach girl: I too drive out of my way to find a pleasant shopping experience. It's well worth it.
marianne: micky D's is the worst for inept insolent behavior.
Stucco: I've called and bitched about three white people at the same store, pretty much anyone who has their pants all the way down get my ire.
Yeah, I thought the same, little cars going against anything bigger than a hotwheels car. Smash!
Forgot his belt?? ROFL!
I think it's hilarious how it was the silent treatment that was unacceptable to the manager, not the red Calvin cheeky exposure. :)
Rude and Silent is becoming the norm as far as cashiers, clerks, etc. WTF? Cheers Hammer!!
preaching to the freeking choir, here man...but Le Tyronell is a great name! it just keeps on rolling off the tongue, you know?
i personally would like to see jail time for overly whored up moms. nothing nastier than some shrivelly, exposed, wrinkled cleavage...tattoos, hurl.
Oh baby you touched on a very sore subject for me... Wrong way cart wheeling thru a store!
Yesterday I finally HAD to venture out to get food.. Mudder Cheesy's cupboards were bare. So here I am wheeling thru the store in a 20lb cast with steel plates... VERY obvious I am having a tuff time maneuvering and this young mom with 2 wild ones are coming up the aisle on the wrong side and stops right in front of me as I am laboriously making my way thru the frozen veggies and she LOOKS at me like "move it grandma". I was hot and pissy and finally gave in because I needed to SIT. Lil shithead....guess I had my pussy moment for the week.. I don’t normally give in lol…
I have always disliked the drooping pants look for a number of reasons. far as I know, most women find this unattractive at best. A man's ass and underpants should really be kept out of sight but I see more of them out and about than I do female.
GOOD FOR YOU!
i've noticed at one of our grocery stores, they enforce a strict appearance policy - if the girls have piercings other than in the ears, they must put a piece of flesh colored tape over the hole and the boys have to do the same for ALL piercings if they show outside the clothing - you should see the ones with them across their eyebrows!
the people that get me are the ones with those dumbbells in their tongues - they cannot pronounce their esses, so ask, "would you like frithz with your thake?" WTF's up widdat?
annnnnnnd, WTF are parents thinking allowing their kiddies to look like hoodlums? who buys their apparel?
it's like going to a jerry springer show at the mall - i hate the mall!
p.s. do you EVER want to go up, yank their britches down and say, "oops - i didn't think they were hanging low enough!"?
Hammer, are you sure Le Tyronell wasn't the manager you were speaking to?
Nanc: I did that to my son on more than one occasion. Actually, his was more "high boxers" than "low jeans". But, the jeans were still loose enough for me to get down with a light yank. I kept telling him "they're called underwear for a reason.
The other thing that bugs me is the backwards cap. The bill is for shielding your eyes, not your neck.
And I hate cashiers etc. that act like you're invading their personal space if you try speaking to them during a transaction. You in Customer Service and personality does count. Get one!
We have a rule in our class room.
"If I can see the color or the brand you are wearing your pants are too low".
I have no clue as to why kids think this way of dressing is "cool". They really do look like idiots.
wow. someone is pissed off.
I dont think those hybryd cars are very safe either.
yeah anymore now adays mangers give about as much of a shit as the people that are acting stupid.
We got delivery from quizno's, they forgot a sandwich, we called back she said the guy was going right out the door, 15 minutes later we called back again, she actually called us liars over the phone. We asked for the regional mangers number, she wouldn't give it, when she finally did it was bogus. The guy who ended up delivering the, cold and made wrong, sandwich was the owner, we told him what happened and he just went, wow, sorry about that.
We tried calling back later, and she hung up on us, then turned the phone to fax machine.
so..yeah real good with the manager.
dan o. - we're so thankful to have nerds in the house!
I hate when you see kids having there pants hanging half way down there legs. Why wear them if you arent going to have them that fit. I dont see the sense in having pants where you can show your underwear to the world..
We need more like you, Hammer.
And I pass out from boredom when I hear the phrase "Go green."
I never understood kids intentionally dressing like they came from the ghetto. There aren't as many around here that still do it but the ones who do I think really are from the ghetto.
I don't have a problem with piercings. When we were in Indiana a few years back, I was more offended that business owners insisted that their employees remove piercings while at work.
Sadly I have never been served by a man in their undies...
I am amazed the store allows them to dress like that.
My beef at the grocery store is the cashier NEVER know how to properly bag your goods. I want to grab stuff away from them and say I'LL DO IT, because seriously they have no idea what should go in a bag with what.
You inconsiderate bastard! You actually had the the audacity to go through a checker's lane while he was on the clock? And you expected service? Don't you know that went out during the Regan administration?
Glad you called the manager out on that one. The other one I hate is when the cashier is having a conversation with a co-worker and doesn't bother to say a word to me. Arrrgh!
I absolutely, positively LOVE your rants. This was awesome...you combined bashing the elitest enviro-trash scumbags with the urban black-trash criminals.
Loved it, loved it, loved it...!!!
BTW, what the f--k did you take down my link for!! Now I'm gonna launch into a rant.
Hey Hammer! I just found a comment from you on my blog from ages ago - sometimes I don't get notified when people leave comments for some reason? Anyway, thanks and it was really nice to hear from you.
As for your post.....I am SICK of that ridiculous 'fashion' where boys wear their pants round their ankles. When will they realise how stupid they look?
I don't really get angry at anyone much - I do get annoyed when I hear people mis-pronounce words - like "chiwdren" instead of "chiLdren". There's an add on TV at the mo about sponsoring a child and she says "chiwdren" and it bugs the HECK out of me.
Anyway, the youth of today....what can I say....?
How come blacks can get away with being hostile to whites, but if a white person is hostile to a black, all kinds of shit hits the fan? I wonder how many people realize that racism is not just whites against blacks.
I would love an electric car like this!

If that is real and not a hoax that is fuckin awesome! 0-60 in 3.6 seconds in an electric car? top speed of 125 and 225 miles on a charge.
Are you sure you don't want to Co-Anchor the Hurt Locker with me? Man, you are good at this....
