I had to return my rented school books today. Of course I forgot to take them to the UPS store at lunch so had to go after work. Fortunately, the line was not too bad. Just a few people in front of me. Each of them moving quickly. Until…a woman with numerous little packages to send. None of them boxed or anything. I stood there for 20 minutes behind her. All I needed to do was pay for my freaking envelope. (I usually use my own box, but didn’t have one. The company pays for the actual shipping.)
Every little thing she asked, “How much?”. When all was said and done it came to $130. What does the bitch do? She says she can’t afford that. WTF?!?!?! He told you how much each thing was. Why didn’t she package it herself and GO TO THE POST OFFICE INSTEAD OF UPS?????? She turns to me and says, “I can hardly afford Christmas anymore.” I looked that bitch right in the eye and said, “Then stop participating. You don’t have to send gifts.” She then gave me the look of death. I fully rolled my eyes at her and gave her a full on, “Bitch, please!” look. She went ahead and paid. Once I was at the counter, I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. She went back to the counter to go over her bill item by item. She didn’t know she had to pay for boxes. WHAT??? This woman was in her 50′s. I made sure to give her another nasty ass, “Bitch, please!” look on my way out.
Gah…I’m not going to make it through this bullshit holiday.

Now that is funy!
Yep. Not participating in Christmas either (well besides the food and family part.) The gift giving is for people with money — and well, that’s not me!
