- I was out walking in my neighbourhood this morning and I walked past a house that had a sign on the door “Girl Guide Cookies For Sale! $4.00/box. Please ring doorbell.” Are you serious??? You want to make money off me (an outrageous amount of money for a tiny box of completely underwhelming cookies) and you are too damn lazy to even walk door to door to try to sell them? Don’t get me wrong, I am more than happy to buy cookies or chocolates or whatever almost any little kids are selling. I have done my share of selling things door to door and I feel sorry for them. But if they think that I am going to come knocking on their door then they have added a new pot smoking badge to the girl guides that wasn’t there when my generation was going door to door.
- I took the kids to McDonalds the other day (yes, I take my kids to the soul-sucking golden arches, regularly, but just for a coffee break. We don’t consume fries and burgers most times that we go. Shut up. We don’t.) They like to play on the playland. So we’re sitting there and two women come in with a child. Presumably the child’s mother and grandmother. They are both carrying Tim Horton’s coffee. They do not buy any McDonalds’ products. The child plays on the play structure. The women visit and drink their coffee. Excuse me? Since when did it become ok to use the facilities of a restaurant while consuming the food from another restaurant? I know that McDonalds isn’t going to suffer from losing the sale of two coffees but I was seriously annoyed. Is it just me or is that really rude and more than a bit ridiculous? I mean by an effing muffin or something?
- I saw a sign for a lost cat this morning. Along with the description of the animal the owner had mentioned the poor kitty’s thyroid condition!!! As if this is something that would be noticeable to a person finding a stray cat?
- People who claim to speak for God. Using bad English. You can read about this guy’s insufferably self-righteous “prophecies” (read: stuff he makes up in his head) here.

The only reason I can think to mention the thyroid condition is to maybe convince someone who has found the cat to either return it to get proper care or so they will know and take it to get proper care?
But the ”come to me to buy my cookies” sign is ..hee. That is some lazy selling, right there.

Maybe that is how they sell girl guide cookies in the ghetto?
Hope I don’t get my ass kicked.
