the P word.
I keep trying to write the 25 random things but then I stop because I feel like it would be a list of things that annoy me. Not that I’m in a bad place at the moment because I am definitely not but I always seem to let out my quirks and idiosyncrasies through writing.
Anyway, my friend Kitty says that those types of lists are self-indulgent and I guess I see why she feels that way but…maybe later.
So the past few days have been strange. Yesterday I went up to a guest at work who was on his mobile phone and I kindly said, “I’m sorry sir but phones are not allowed” and he said, “Oh really? So I have to listen to the prick (yes, he said the P word) behind me yelling at his girlfriend but I can’t talk on my phone” and I apologize and say, “well, I wasn’t here when that was happening otherwise I could have addressed it and please, don’t use that language with me” and I walked away and communicated the situation with my manager…I tell her about the entitled jerk and his usage of the P word. I freakin’ hate that word and also feel that you should not use that kind of language to any type of service person. I’m not being a little princess by saying that. I use the F word. A lot. But I know where it’s appropriate. Anyway…my manager goes up to the guest and tells him that he is not allowed to use his phone in the lounge. (There are designated areas and it’s a rule that the club members voted for, not us). He says that someone was speaking loudly on one side of him and mentions once again, the man behind him and my manager coolly says, “If you had told your waitress, I would have gladly taken care of that but I’m sorry, no phones are allowed” and he says, “I’m a founding member!!!” And she says, “Then you know the rules” He throws another hissy fit and asks for his check and then makes sure he tells the receptionist that he has just been, “ostracized” and again, uses the P word and leaves. Jerko.
See, all the wonderful things I could say about the weekend and I choose to tell you about idiots.
Did anyone watch 60 minutes? I am so crushing on Sully.

I always let people be jerks until they curse and then I feel like it reaches "that" level where I can then walk away/disengage with the person and feel like I did the right thing. It's just totally not right to speak like that to strangers. At least I never would.
