Shit. It happened.
You would not believe the crap I went through while I was out looking for work today. I was crossing the street to get to the shopping center by my house when I saw a group of about half a dozen teens (mostly boys, maybe a girl or two) hanging around on the lawn on the side of Vons. My first instinct on seeing them was to avoid them if at all possible, but they were right in the way of where I had to walk, so I thought, "I'll just walk right on by and ignore them." But no. NO.
They were starting to leave just as I got close, and for some obnoxious reason they decided to talk to me. "My friend likes you," one of them said.
Idiot! HAVE I NOT OUT-GROWN THIS PUERILE BEHAVIOR YET?! Do you think I don't know what you're doing? All the skinny good-looking guys find the fattest, uglyiest, nerdiest looking wretch in the near vincity and then walk up and feign romantic interest. I never bought that shit even when I was in Jr. High, you really think I'm gonna buy it now? Morons. I told them that I wasn't interested, but hey kept hounding me, and I was like, "Look, you don't even know me."
"Well, what if he wants to get to know you?"
I flashed the wedding band on my left hand as I walked away. (Yes, I still wear it. No, I don't consider myself taken.) Usually that's enough to shut people up, but they were still whining. Bunch of persistent bastards. I should've flipped them off instead. Don't you get it kiddies? I'm not a member of your age group!
Fuck! This is exactly what I despise about my youthful appearance. Those guys were probably my little brother's age, 18-19 years old. If they knew that I was 27, would they even be talking to me? No. It's times like this that make me wonder why murder is illegal. We could drastically reduce the idiot population if we were just allowed to kill a few off every now and then. Preferably before they start to reproduce!
On the bright side, I did find one job opening today and the liquor store -finally- got my favorite beer in! So I treated myself to pizza and beer, relaxed for a couple hours, then signed on to my college's website to find that there are some inspiring topics that people are coming up with for their papers. It's amazing what people can do when they use their brains.
