Fireworks PLUS Bad @$$ Kids EQUALS

TROUBLE!!

There's only one thing I hate more than bad ass kids & that's bad ass kids with fireworks!  They get on my last nerve with this mess. 

Tell me why this lil silly ass boychild was running down the street, chasing another lil silly ass boychild with a lit and firing Roman Candle?!?!?!?!  This lil bastard obviously had no idea of the damage he could cause!

I'm trying to figure out how they get fireworks that last for days, but mama can't pay her utility bills, phone is probably disconnected & we (the hardworking taxpayers) have to buy her damn groceries via the almighty foodstamp.  *smdh*  Come next week, her ass will be over at Catholic Charities because of the gas & electric bill pink slips.

She can't pay the Lawnmower Man to cut what is supposed to be grass in that fucked up yard of hers, but Jr. is about to blow the whole damn neighborhood up!

I know we shouldn't wish ill on any one, but I have to be honest & say that for a fleeting moment I wished that damn candle would've exploded in his lil dumb ass hand.

Oh, did I mention, the City of St. Louis outlawed the use of fireworks a few years back after a few very costly & unfortunate accidents?  Yeah.....

I need a drink......

SEARS SUCKS!

Lawd today.......

To give you a lil background, my 6 year old refrigerator died on Monday. I called Sears and of course the next available appointment was for Wednesday. I accepted...what else could do?!

I cleaned the fridge salvaged what I could and went about business as usual. The service man comes & right away he knew what the problem was....Kenmore manufacture defect. I don't speak repair but it goes something like, "The coil wasn't insulated, yada yada and exposure caused a whole, yada yada and all the freon has leaked out, yada yada.

Ok....the serviceman has to fucking order the parts I need (is there no Kenmore store in town?) and UPS will deliver. He tells me I should have the parts by Friday (did I say my shit conked out on Monday? Ok I did!) and he'd see me Saturday morning between 8-12. OK

The parts came yesterday, or so I thought. I called to tell them I had to parts and a tech pronto would be appreciated. Apparently I was missing a box - the compressor. Again I wait.....

Did I mention in an effort to salvage my groceries I started cooking up stuff only realize my damn oven had died as well?! Ok..... (That was not a Sears deal and has been repaired.)

I haven't worked a full day this week due to this mayhem. I come home early to meet the range repair guy & UPS shows up with my missing box.

I call Sears AGAIN to tell them I have all the pieces and I need service ASAP. They tell me I'm on the schedule for Tuesday! Back the hell up! Dude told me he's see me Saturday. Where is this Tuesday shit coming from?!?! They tell me he scheduled me for Tuesday. HELL TO THE NO!!! 7 days without a refrigerator IS UNACCEPTABLE!! They proceed to tell me the service guys don't even work on Saturday so they're unsure why he even said that. Whatthefuckever! If I accept that, why not Monday?! The chic tells me it's a 2 man 2.5 hour job and apparently the techs aren't working on Monday?! WTF?! Monday ain't no fucking holiday! I {tried to} politely tell this chic I needed a serviceman at my home by 12:00 pm on Monday or else. She said she'd try. Hmph!

I'm in the processing of writing a scathing letter to a whole lotta folks over at Sears because this is ridamndiculous!

I swear I miss apartment living! My grandparents had the same applicances all my damn life and didn't have this much damn trouble. The manufacturers, retailers and repair people are in CAHOOTS!

It's damn near 90 degrees and I have no fridge. I'm really frustrated right now & this might not make sense, so I come back for edits later.

BARTENDER!!!

Top Ten Thurs. - Chaps My @$$

Normally, I try not to sweat the small stuff, but there are some things that just chap my ass, like:

  1. Muthafuckas who thump lit cigarettes/butts from moving vehicles.  Damn!  The least you could do is put that shit out in your car before thumping it out.  Hell, you smoked it in your car didn't you?
  2. Dumb asses who call your phone with that "Did somebody call here?" bullshit.  Negro/bitch please. Ain't nobody looking for your raggedy ass.  If I wanted you, I would've left a message.
  3. Folks who walk in my cubicle & eyeball my monitors (I have 2).  Get outta my damn business!
  4. Muthafuckas who forward stupid ass/chain text messages.  Stop it already!  Some of us have to pay for that bullshit.   Matter of fact, if you are not a Verizon customer keep all that to a minimum with me.
  5. Busted ass weaves - if you must weave it, weave it right.
  6. 4 year olds in Pampers!  Come on now, if he/she can form complete sentences it's time (unless, of course the child has special needs).
  7. Menstrual Cramps - After 25 years this shit still makes me sick.  I think there needs to be an expiration date.....way before age 50....may 30-35. 
  8. Folks who dog out other folks for any number of things & turn around & do the exact same.
  9. Pants that shrink in the wash.  I bought tall & I expect them to stay that way.  Is that too much for long-legged sista to ask?!
  10. DirecTv going out when it rains!  That's when I wanna be inside chilling with the remote.

Whew!  Thanks for listening y'all and as always feel free to comment & share.
