I've been burning through my cash hoard from Craigslisting a lot of shit in the past year. Cash is a pain in the ass dealing with change, cashier not having the right change, etc. Then every once in a while, I take over a minute at the register to use up all my change -- close to $10 in quarter, nickels, dimes, 1 or 2 dollar coins.

So much easier to use my credit card, punch in my PIN and walk away.

cash is king. looking at my emergency fund of a few stacks of Benjamin is quite satisfying.

Yesterday, I was thinking about getting a hand toss large meat lover with everything from Pizza Hut for $10 plus sale tax but I need to cut back the calories so I did not get one.

Instante hate? I can't "hate" anyone just from the first few seconds/minutes of interaction.

When they instantly trip my bullshit detector, and they're not joking.

I'd prefer a brick of gold or silver... Doubles as a weapon too. And if the shit really hits the fan, you can mount it to a pole and make a war club.

When I'm walking into the pre-school to pickup my son and glance over at the kids on the play ground only to see another little boy throwing a basketball at my sons head while he's not looking.

Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays!
meh. not so much. i have been jonesin for some holidays lately but other than that today was a pretty typical monday in november. november sucks in my job. lol

i find that i have a hard time relating to a lot of people though. to be clear, it's definitely me and not them. i don't think i'm particularly weird but i do prefer solace more often than not. among other things.

i also am very perturbed by people constantly feeling the need to not just be unique/diverse, but also to be really in your face about it. i dont care if you're mainstream or hipster or whatever. but if i notice you, i wish i didn't. there's nothing wrong with being a face in a crowd.

i'm too judgmental though. i am aware my above comments are not fair criticism. maybe i do have a case of the mondays.

You son of a bitch, I was trying to get your goat!
Ugh, now I'm thinking of you as a complex person and it MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE AND NOW I HATE YOU.

most of us are extroverts at work and just want to chill the fuck out and be introverts when you get home. I hear ya man.

I shall quote the late, great George Carlin:

"Here's another pack of jackoffs who ought to be strangled in front of their children. People who pay for inexpensive items with a credit card. You know? Folks, take my word for this, Raisinetts is NOT a major purchase. Get some fucking cash together. No one should be paying the bank eighteen percent interest on Tic-Tacs. And you're holding up the fucking line, too. Some dorky looking prick with a fanny pack waiting to be approved for a bag of Cheese Doodles. I need this like I need an infected scrotum. Get some fucking money. Next guy in front of me that pays for Newsweek with a credit card is getting stabbed in the eyes."

Except this is old and doesn't really apply these days. I used to be the exact same way, because the people using them were idiots who didn't know how. These days it is different, no one carries cash, the only people I hate are the ones paying with a check who wait until they are completely rang up before starting. People using debit etc are very fast and efficient.

People that half-jokingly laugh about not being able to afford things while never failing to buy more of them. I was at a research conference in a resort town, expenses paid for by my school of course, and literally every other time walking between my room and the conference center, I would overhear random vacationers lament their credit card debts or whatever else, and then say "Oh hey but we're on vacation, can't worry about that now". Not enough people starved to death during the Great Recession. I can't wait until China destroys our degenerate system of hyperconsumption.

When I see someone park taking up two spaces. Hate is a bit strong, but I definitely lower my opinion of that person. If you can't take the time to park properly it is clear evidence you don't think about anyone but yourself. Especially at the parking lot where I pick up my kids after school. Hey numbnuts, you know this lot gets crowded. And it's not like this is some random spot you'll never be again. We're going to be doing this every school day for years.

People who order Anchovies on Pizza or are Adolf Hitler. Fortunately they are as rare as Adolf Hitler.

Smoking. You can be rescuing baby chipmunks from certain death on the highway but if you got a cigarette hanging off your lip while doing so, fuck you.
