The Grinch has entered the building...



so after a 9 hour day of mostly driving around in this damn Michigan weather...I am posting my reasons I Hate Christmas list:

lets start with the parking lot issues...
1. Stupid people in stupid cars who don't know how to park and the aisles in the parking lot get narrower and narrower as you proceed towards the front (or back)

2. dumb snow plow drivers who block 10 lanes of through traffic and make all lanes of parking end so you have to put it in reverse to get out of that aisle! (this happened this weekend at one of my busiest malls)

3. People who don't go the right way in the parking lots..this is ok the first 10 months of the year...not ok the last 2

4. Parents of small children who are not being held on to, and they go darting out in between cars unsupervised. this happens WAYYYYY too much..how can you NOT hold on to your 2 year old in a hectic busy parking lot?

5. People parallel because there is a snow bank in the front of them...dude smash your front end into the snow bank and your fine...when 2 other idiots block your ass in, and you go crying to security, I'm laughing... for real!

6. People in their cars when you are walking in and almost run you over...ok everyone is stopped in front of you and there are people crossing, you don't need to creep up and get on the bumper of the guy in front of you...let the people by.

7. People walking to their cars, in the middle of the aisle, walking slower then an 88year old grandmother with a walker, I will run your ass over, I swear or at least creep up on your ass and gun the engine and scare the crap into your depends...

8. The parking place snatchers...this hasn't happened to me in a while, but I saw it happen to someone else this week, and almost had to call security.

Inside the Mall

1. Again with the 2 year old...hang on to them! Put them in a stroller, on your shoulders, hanging on to your hand whatever it takes not to get ran over.

2. People dragging their big ass bags through the mall, I seriously almost tripped over some one's bag, and they gave ME a dirty look. I just looked at her and said, your kidding me right? she called me something under her breath...I could care less

3. The slow walkers clogging up the regular normal paced flow of traffic...move it people!

4. The slow walkers who stop in the middle of the mall with 50 people trying to maneuver around them as they window shop.

5. The people who cut others off, or cut across the flow of traffic and make everyone stop.

6. The Crazy teenage kids who wail their arms as they are talking and knock into any other group of people that within arms length. This nearly happened to Erica today, as we were walking, I almost drop kicked the little shit, I swear! I gave him a dirty look and told him to knock it off punk! (I'm such a bitchy preggo lady)

7. People who dig for exact change when there is a line of 20 people behind them...

8. The parents who wait in line for 5 minutes and then ask the kids they are with what they want when they get up to the counter...you didn't discuss this while your in line?

9. The Parents who send their kids up to the store to get something, and they don't know what they want, or get the wrong thing, or don't have enough money.

10. The parents who have their 2 year old on a leash! We see this way too much...its so sad, they are not dogs people! Its work to take a little kid to a busy mall, have a plan, like a stroller, or someone to help you out...not a leash

11. The creepy old guys who like to read the name tags, call the young girls by their names and creep everyone out

12. The young girls who sneak their little dogs in the mall in their purses...you are NOT Paris Hilton, you don't live in California and you are NOT allowed to have a DOG IN THE MALL! What is wrong with you, seriously?

That's crazy to be driving around during Christmas in this weather being preggo. I can't even handle it when it's nice out and Christmas is a months away. It's too awesome that you give people a piece of your mind. Who would mess with the Mighty Rhonda!? Stay safe out there love!

LOL...you are just like me and the Girl from the Ghetto with the lady who was saying something to you about you getting tripped...and the mumbling under the breath thing, too funny! Oh yeah, that MUST SUCK when you have to go to all those malls at this time , UGH, I feel for you! I have to say, that Grinch pic brought back a quick memory that I must share! Last year I still worked at the Appointment Center, and my entire row HATED that I wouldn't participate in holiday celebrations or decorations...ie...they decorated for Valentines Day and Halloween etc(I boycotted all that shit once I had the BEST scrapbooking display about Spring and lost the contest(CHEATERS) ...well anyway, I came in at Christmas and my entire desk had about 20 pictures of the grinch and scrooge...all different sized and colors, and they had printed a huge sign that said BAH HUMBUG....ha hahahahaha.... It was classic and everyone loved it that went by and actually thought I did it, but I told them all, "no, my rowmates got me, payback...lol"
Fun stuff...see it can be fun to be a damn scrooge or grinch every now and then! :)
