but we all know how that goes...
1. Over the past week I've had to make too many references to grown folks' body odor. I don't care what anyone says, there is no way you are immune to your own funk. Period. I know when I'm less than fresh and during those times I go as far away from the 'crowd' as I can and as soon as soap and water are available (be it in the work bathroom or at home in my shower) I eliminate funk. As well, I carry deodorant and body spray to apply when I know about to do something that could potentially make me perspire. Before that activity I re-apply. Now why other folks can't practice that I'll never know. I got on the train Friday and was so taken aback by the smell of sour kraut I just knew I would barf. Turns out it was a GROWN MAN smelling like that. The bad part is, he was extremely well dressed as if to say he was an executive of some sort. Now some may say "well he just forgot this morning" (I've done that before too) but if you can afford a nice suit you can afford to run down to the corner store and get a damn stick of Degree. I'm sorry. Second case...yesterday we went to this church and I swear this man had the whole right side of the church just stankin. How we ended up on the same pew with this stank bomb is beyond me but it was just nasty. He had to be AT the VERY LEAST 60 and I know good and well he knew better. *smh*
2. If you aren't intelligent quit frontin...so at this lovely *insert sarcasm* church we went to yesterday the "announcement lady" (who took 30 minutes to announce 3 events) was an intelligence perp. Why? She kept making up words. I cringed every time she said "dedicatorial" services. I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs, "LADY THAT IS NOT A WORD IT'S DEDICATORY SERVICES!!!!!!!!!!!" The sad part is...she just KNEW she was doing something big. She then said that woman had been 'ostasized' and criticized for too long...after that I stopped listening so that my ears wouldn't start bleeding. Uggh.
3. You chose this job...not me. Why is it that people who are in 'service' positions have the worst attitudes. I mean, I'm smart enough to know I'm not a people person so I don't deal with people on a regular basis (as a part of my job). I mean take Ray for example. Ray is a ticket taker at the GA Aquarium but Ray likes to be rude to people...little did Ray know, I'm not the one. He got funky with me and I let him know...I mean really Ray YOU chose to take tickets at the aquarium not me...what are you so upset for? *shrug*
These are just a few things that I observed and I just had to get off my chest. Have a good week folks!
