Why?

Why do trashy people LOVE to brag about ordinary achievements for sympathy or money? What makes something that you and I do everyday so special?

Like when some “Tacoma voiced” man with no volume control loudly exclaims to a friend “Man, I was like outside and it started to rain, and I didn’t have a hat, so I was like all wet” nobody responds, so he continues even louder “I could have gotten sick!” some unknown voice agrees, thus allowing him the opportunity to ramble on and on about all the “what if’s” that could have happened in his life as a result of a little rain. My gosh I had no idea that he could have so may different kinds of fate! Maybe if I give him that quarter…..

Another example is when a husky voiced woman is in line in front of you and refuses to move because she is making sure the cashier knows that she had to “go to court“, or “borrow her dad’s car to get her boyfriend to work” or pay her “pre-paid cell phone bill” What about this shows greatness. I should donate to her cause…….

It is a true gem when somebody asks to use my cell phone. I make sure to keep my bill current so you can call your drug dealer and hook-up. I very much want him to have my number too, I love the “Call backs” that I will get from your reputable friends.

I guess my favorite is the “You Owe Me” defense. “Can I have a dollar” Mr. Nation responds “Sorry” so the guy yells “I need to get a cell phone like you have” “I just want coffee, like the one you have” the best “I’m having a bad day, help me” Really? You are having a bad day? Is some ugly, smelly, disease ridden freak yell at you on every street corner making sure to insult you if you don’t pay them? The choice is pay or be bothered.

I fell like this was formally a walk-by occurrence, but lately I find myself sitting alone in public spaces and being approached. I think the bad economy has had a burden the trashy-folk and now they need to strategize and make a new plan of attack……


I am ready to be harassed for my not-so-hard earned money, insulted for having a phone and have most of my senses offended. BRING IT ON, Go ahead, I am READY!
