It is time once again for my rant against the ignorance that is the general populace. The outage in Ohio last week had me wanting to pull my hair out. Hurricane Ike managed to miss everyone in our Texas territory but swept up and knocked the hell out of Ohio with straight line winds and such. A million people were without power. Some of them, even after a week, are still without. BUT, lets forget the fact that it was a natural disaster that you’d have to be a brain dead moron not to know about; forget the fact that 75 mile an hour winds WILL knock out the power… I give you the asshole statements made by customers calling in.
“Every time we have a natural disaster my power goes out!” (Um, no shit asshole.)
“I have a 5 thousand dollar fish tank! They will die, what do I do?!” (Gee, 5 k and no back up in the event of an emergency? I’ll get the tartar sauce.)
“I just bought 500 dollars worth of meat! How will I keep it cold?!” (REALLY, a whole cow? You have an ENTIRE cow? By the way dipshit, ICE was a good idea back then… still is. )
“My grandmother is on oxygen and her tank is almost empty! Do we just let her die?!” (Yes, fucktard, you let her die. Again…. Back up plan. Get one. If you don’t have one raise your hand and McGruff the fuckin’ puppet will provide you with one.)
AND my ALL time favorite and amazingly enough NOT the first time I’ve heard it….
“I can’t breastfeed my baby since the electric is out.”
WHAT?!!!
Ok, more on this. So, I was sitting around talking to some friends and telling them about the funny things people say. This chick I just met pipes up and says “I remember in the ice storm when the power went out I couldn’t nurse my baby.” Now, forget the fact that I wanted to pile drive her face into the table we were sitting at. I HAD to jump right in there. “Ok, tell me why in GODS name can you not breast feed a baby just because you have no electricity?” Then she says “I have to use a pump.” Ok, I can understand that but you CAN hand express the milk and I tell her this but got a blank stare. Then she tells me something that brings my brain to a screeching halt. “I can’t nurse them because I am too big.” What? Too big? You aren’t laying on them. Do you mean to tell me that the mass of your tit nipple is SO incredibly large that it crushes the faces of nursing babies? She was big but not that damned big. I think I would have noticed a team of Oompa Loompas carrying her tits into the building. No steel belted bras made by NASA, she stood upright and everything. I still don’t get it.
The mass numbers of people calling in seem to have forgotten that Amish people everywhere do manage to thrive. They are weird freakin’ people, but they do thrive. We managed to live thru the outage. Oh and when we say we are open 24 hours don't ask if that is Eastern time.
