What is with the rude behavior this morning on the bus and the Metro? First, I was on the bus riding from home to the Metro station. A man signaled for a stop, and got up to patiently wait (behind the line, like he’s supposed to) until it was time for him to disembark. With [...]

OMG WTF

He really said that? Out loud? On television? Good God. I can’t think of anything to say about this. I’m speechless. *looks at KO* Worst Person in the World material, at the VERY LEAST. First the New Yorker cover and now this. Oh, and about that cover: It may or may not have failed as [...]

…the Americans, they hate the Reds. The punks, they hate the mods. ah, thanks kev. Put in mind of that fantastic work by the ModLog by this: Joshua Keating “Anti-Emo Riots in Mexico: ¡Pánico en el Disco!” by Joseph Contreras in Spin. Newsweek‘s Latin America editor examines the bizarre epidemic of violence against Mexican emo [...]
I was always the new kid (17 schools) and, in elementary schools, always the kid getting beaned in the head during dodgeball (among other forms of remorseless bullying). I still won’t participate in sports that involve balls flying through the air. (It’s ice-skating and horseback riding for me!) When a former coworker started telling breast [...]
Speaking of political vitriol

People don’t believe me when I say that there’s no way to underestimate the anti-Clinton (both Clintons) vitriol out there. They really don’t. (See below.) Of course, there are also loud groans of protest when I insist that, if he gets the nomination, Giuliani will win. These groans all come from New Yorkers, who understand [...]
Insert Joke Here

About the “falafel guy”. You know. Anyhow, this is just ridiculous. I guess I shouldn’t walk down the street to the fancy new falafel cart near my office for lunch anytime soon. And the burrito guy closed up shop! Sigh.
Because making fun of Chelsea’s braces was so much fun, now we’re going to criticize (see comments) her career choice? Oh yes, do let’s nominate her mom as Democratic presidential candidate. I just can’t wait for the chattering classes to start rabbiting on about all this crap. Again.
Bus Behavior
Posted in Posts, tagged anecdotes, manners, metro, wmata on October 19, 2007 | Comments Off
It’s good to see that others notice good bus behavior too! On my daily route I regularly see people offering change, giving up seats for those more needy, and telling the driver if someone is on the run for the bus. Pleasant conversations with other riders blossom from time to time as well. I used [...]
Sign of the Apocalypse
Posted in Posts, tagged advertising, manners, media, television on July 9, 2007 | Comments Off
Sign of the Apocalypse Terrifying new commercial on the air these days from AT&T Wireless — a bunch of airplane seats. Suddenly a phone rings; a little “WIRELESS” box pops up pointing to that phone. The phenomenon multiplies…soon ringtones are streaming from my television set. “Your world is wireless,” proclaims the tagline. (Sadly, I can’t [...]
Rude people suck

While I’m in FOBM (full-on bitch mode)… What is UP with the K street end of town? Why are all the people over there so frickin’ rude — are they all under investigation now? Would it kill you to say “thanks” when I hold open the door, or conversely, to hold open the door for [...]
