Rude people = wasted money and ruined ice cream surprise
The day started off well. Some background: my husband got a horrible head injury last week. I found him unconscious and bleeding on the floor and I couldn't get through to 911, and the neighbours couldn't be bothered to open the door to the screaming lady begging them to call. It was terrifying but we made it to the hospital and he is much better now. In fact, I was pretty happy because he got his stitches out today and the doctor said there is no infection, and he is healing very well.
So I headed of to Little Italy to get him a surprise. Some gourmet gelato. Seriously expensive stuff, but since he is better and is taking care of himself more, I wanted to give him a treat. The trip should only take about 20 mins.
So I get to the ice cream place and they make up a big tub of it (1L for $16!). On my way out I am waiting for the bus. The bus drives right past me, and doesn't even bother to stop!!! The people waiting for the bus in the other direction yelled out how they couldn't believe the driver just did that. The bus was in service, and empty! So since Toronto transit has cut buses, I had to wait 20 minutes for the next one. It's 30 degrees outside and i have ice cream! The streetcar finally comes and I decide to cut my losses and take that. 20 minutes more to get to the subway.
Then when I am on the subway, they have a "delay." I sat in a tunnell for half an hour. Just got home. The $16 ice cream is all melted. Sure i can try to refreeze it, but it was 3 flavours in 1 container, and now all of them mixed together in a gross pool. I.e. fig and hazelnut= icky. I wanted to surprise hubby. Now when he gets home, what am I going to say? Here's a pool of mixed liquid for you.
All of this is on top of the rude family who I tried to RAOK coupons to at No Frills and instead gave me dirty looks and butt in front of me in line, making me wait 20 minutes in line while they purchased their $200 worth of stuff, (I only had $5!) before I even got to the ice cream place. And I can't forget the cyclist who ran a red light and clipped me as I was crossing the street, and all the rude dudes who were cat calling me
I hate rude people so much
