I'd estimate 99% of the scooter people don't need them and most people that could actually use one walk with some other form of assistance that requires actual physical activity. It's no secret that I hate those people and yeah I said hate. They have no purpose in the world.

Yeah, they can easily get in the way when I am out and about. Especially at HEB when I am trying to get down aisles and they are blocking the way. They tend to be older folks and are unaware of their surroundings. I mean didn't they have to walk to get to the scooter to begin with??? When I used to work at a grocery store we kept those things in the back hidden. Only brought them out if someone requested them. Grrrr........

They should make people ask for them and they should have a reason and fat and lazy aren't valid reasons. The majority I see are young extremely overweight people that actually need the movement to at least burn a couple calories. I was way overweight before, but would never even think of going that route. It's just pure laziness and an epidemic around here.

Grrrr, this place just has to pi$$ me off to the end. When you get a haircut and the person says "I do not want it any shorter in the back at all", what does that mean? Apparently it means cut a couple inches off the back and then say you just cut a tiny bit off even though the evidence is right there on me. Unbelievable that these people have even managed to live this long with their extreme incompetence. And there are so many liars and they're stupid liars, which are the worst kind. Why try to lie when the evidence is right in front of you? So now all the hair I've been growing for months is gone, just in time for me to see relatives I haven't seen in over 25 freaking years. I absolutely hate these people.

ya know...I realize that it's summer and there are plenty of people vacationing up this way....however, there is something seriously wrong with the direction this country is going when I am literally the only English speaking person in a major (and quite busy) grocery store in what I thought was still one of the 50 U.S. states. I'm exhausted. The decibel level of that store was beyond anything I had every experienced. The screaming, ill-mannered children was nothing I had every seen before. Add the screaming adults and it was really more than I could handle.

Where was this? My HUGE mistake was being lazy and going to wally world. I needed to go there to look for a netbook bag for this new netbook I bought since no other stores carry a bag for a 11.6" netbook and I figured I would kill two birds with one stone and get a simple trim. Made it very clear that I just wanted the crazy hairs trimmed down and nothing shortened. I repeated several times to leave the length the way it was, but she maybe was too distracted by her partner and their discussion. I really should've gone off on her when I felt what she did, but I had to leave because I honestly wanted to hurt her. I was also tempted to go back and complain to a manager, but again I really want to hurt her and that desire is even stronger the more I look at my hair in the mirror. These people here are just amazingly incompetent and it's across the board. Not one race, sex, religion, heritage etc.. just extreme incompetence almost everywhere. This vacation can't come soon enough...

Maybe their "vacationing up this way" has more to do with this country being a better place to vacation than their country? Seems like a good thing to me.

Let's be careful with this topic, since it sits on the shelf right next to the verboten "illegal immigration" topic that is off topic for local forums.
