how to manufacture grief

[cornerofmadness]

when you just don't have enough in your life. go to the laundromat on the weekend. I like to sit in the library as you know (which is next door) and they had two books for me and they'd be closed on my usual laundry day (monday)

First off there's this woman glaring at everyone because apparently she wants ALL the washers (and frankly I thought going as early as i did would save me from the crowds but it was later in the day when no one was there...)

When I put two sheets in one dryer, this same woman takes it out and says, "I NEED THIS DRYER."

Me - too stunned to speak.

Bitcharella - whips around to the hispanic couple with the obviously developmentally challenged child and does the same to them. In fact she empties out TWO of their dryers.

There's a whole bank of dryers in the other portion of the laundromat and I'm thinking really I'm going to get an aneurysm if i DON'T punch this bitch in the face, from all the repressed rage. I decide not to get into a trailer park fight in the laundromat with a woman nuts enough to take on the big dude with the poor kid. I just use the empty bank of dryers and head to Krogers since i'm in town and it's supposed to snow again

Well apparently weekday + snow threat + Valentine's day = PACKED store. Holy shit i was sure they were giving food away. Sometimes I simply couldn't even move my buggie. whimpers.

At least queen bitch was gone by the time i made it back to my clothes.

now to get my threesome up to the last scene. I rule. I'm going to run the ragged end of the word limit without getting to add in all the description I wanted.

You handle that kind of thing so much better than I do. I tend to get confrontational or, worse -- vengeful.

I was vengeful on the bitch a few weeks ago who also was hassling me (I hit the puddle going full speed, splashing melting snow and mud all over her clean clothes as she carried them)

occasionally you look at someone and realize...reality doesn't matter to this person and they could be dangerous

OH my gosh... that woman sounds nuts.

She needs some Junior Mints in her dryers. Too bad that would get chocolate in all the rest of them. Gum? A tiny bit of red crayon??

trust me i wish i had something like that on hand because i would have been so tempted.

gah i need my own set up

I remember reading about that. Honestly, I'm of mixed feelings about that kind of thing -- I like to think of myself as a live and let live kind of guy, but some people just deserve to have their days ruined ... after they've ruined someone else's.

they're so loathsome

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i am too. I did feel bad about afterwards and it was partly an accident but then i thought, you know what, she was making perfect strangers miserable for no reason than she couldn't share

Who the hell did Miss Entitlement think she was? The nerve.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

and this is not the first time this has happened....

That's probably my pet peeve #1: People who make the lives of others miserable for no reason.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah not my favorite thing

Laundromats are a little slice of Hell. I'm so very glad my apartment comes with a washer and dryer.

mine is supposed to but they won't fit. I might just have to suck up and buy the stackables and/or apt sized ones but they are twice the freaking cost and not as good
