Don't hold the pickles

Why do people, especially young girls, think they're SO entitled? I mean, I understand the Now Generation and all that, but c'mon. I'm walking out of JCPenney and there are two young (maybe 17) girls walking about behind me. The one girl says, "That's when the party gets started, son!" Now, to my understanding, the girl had not given birth to the other apparent female, but there are some odd family trees, so ya never know. Anyway, being the decent person I am, I held the door open for her. Not only did she not speed up at all, she didn't even attempt to reach her arm out to hold the door open for herself. So let me get this straight. This girl expects me to stand and hold the door open for her while she strolls out with not so much as a thank you? Oh, no. So the next door I just let go in her face.

Same thing with pedestrians. BOY do I just want to run over them sometimes. It's usually only the women. They'll start to cross, you'll yield to them, of course, and they will just take their good old time. Sometimes it's not just their good old time, but ALL of their time. And yours. The worst is when they hold their finger up at you to tell you, "Stop. I'm walking across the street." That makes my blood boil. Times like that is when I really wish vehicular homicide was legal.

But speaking of entitlement, I think I'm entitled to a few more pickles on my sub. I go to Subway and get a footlong and request "extra pickles and olives." The lady gave me about 5 olives, maybe 6 pickles. ON THE WHOLE SUB! I said "more, please." She acts like she's digging into the container like a shovel and then sprinkles two more of each on top. I ask for more. Then she tells me "well, you're gonna get charged extra." Really? I was outraged. "There aren't even any on there!" I somewhat shouted at her. What does a girl have to do to get a little extra pickle around here?

Haha, I always hold the pickles...I don't really like them. It's weird, because I like whole pickles, but sliced pickles just turn me off.

Anyway, people are idiots. I say run all the pedestrians over who don't rush across the street. They should make signs for that. "Run or You'll be Roadkill."
