Hey, stop talking about me.

We love the little old people, couponmummy!

Anxiously awaiting mail is the worst

I am so sick of stupid people!!!! Why are people so irresponsible, so disorganized, have a "don't care attitude", and make so many errors? If it's too hard to do your job, then quit and find something else that uses fewer brain cells!!! If you can't do your job, why should your lack of responsibility become an urgent priority in my job? Rant over.

Maybe some folks came back from Florida and decided their cars were ready for them to take out on errands! Probably need to get used to the sun's low position in the sky first...

The weather causing random sicknesses every few weeks - I love winter and snow... but I'm ready for warm weather >.<

Today at Loblaws some customer yelled at me in line because I said "excuse me" but not "excuse me PLEASE." Are you kidding me? If you took your headphones off your head you'd hear people talking to you (doing this at a checkout is hella rude). The cashier didn't say anything but I could see from her face that she was mortified that this woman actually said this.

Didn't realize "excuse me" isn't enough anymore. Apparently we have to grovel at people now just to get them to stop blocking your groceries?

Gah, I know. Nothing like waking up to a -28 windchill this morning!

Maybe if we hadn't had that week of temps hovering around zero to tease us....

I want this:

I am still thinking about this this morning. I don't understand why saying just "excuse me" isn't enough. The fact that I asked her nicely to move, and said anything at all, rather than pushing her out of the way is polite, right?

I ask this because it isn't the first time this year a random person in a store has yelled at me about not adding "please" after I say "excuse me." (And yes, I always say thank you when I don't get a lecture for no reason). I don't understand. Is there some kind of new etiquette I haven't heard about? Just plain "excuse me" has gotten me by my whole life with no issues, so...huh?

Strangest of things happening to me. First, I have two target transactions that I paid with CC and they never showed up in my statement. I don't know what is target doing to me. I'm already addicted to your deals you don't need to give me things for free lol.
Second, I went to walmart to look for once cent products, first one I scan is 1 cent then I go back and grab more. Then I scanned the rest and they were all at the normal price. I started laughing because it was like a hidden camera joke. I scanned them all and even the one that initially scanned at 1cent was back to normal price. My DH is thinking I'm loosing it.

lmfao I wouldn't worry about it too much. excuse me is just fine imo. ive been known to say much more unacceptable things from time to time.
