Bad Attitude

It’s Friday the 13th.

Ink Assassins is doing $20 tattoos. (Ya know, in case you care.)

Me? I’m feeling snarky. Snarky may not even cover it. I have a full blown case of “WTF is it a full moon or did everyone on this planet suddenly turn into idiots”-syndrome.

The other day, I had the unfortunate chore of having to go into a WalMart. You want to see me go into an extreme rage? Put me in a busy WalMart store.

Hordes of people shuffling around like zombies with glazed over eyes, staring at the ceiling and randomly stopping every three feet to check out the amazing roll-backs on Snuggies and snack cakes (like, OMG). Meanwhile you’re just trying to run in and out and grab some batteries or something and you’re tripping over these asshats left and right. MOVE for God’s sake.

Oh my good Lord don’t EVEN think you’re going to try and buy a Sharpie this time of year … the back-to-school aisle is treacherous. Misbehaved little snots hanging off the shelves, laying on the floor and/or running into people with the 750-pound pile-o-crap in their parent’s cart.

I think maybe I should start avoiding human contact in a retail-setting. People seem to lose their minds when shopping. (Black Friday stampedes, anyone?) I swear I’m ordering everything from Amazon.com from now on, including toilet paper. (Don’t believe me? They totally sell it.)

Apparently I’m getting crotchety in my old age. Old age being 28. Woo. I always was an overachiever and ahead of my peers.

(By the way, this is meant to be tongue-in-cheek. Lighten up.)

    You’ll still go to the yarn store won’t you? I do feel the same way about shopping at Walmart. I’m counting down the days until school starts because I’m feeling very snarky around the boys. Miss your smiling face!
