This is a rant.
I fully expect to have people crap all over everything I’m about to post.
But I would really appreciate it if not everyone would.
Because I’m over everything that’s happened so far this summer. And we’re only 1/2 way through July.
A Lot has happened. I’m going to list just a little.
people with out of area plates have been going to historical houses—that as far as I know—have not been put up for sale or rent, and ripping off the oval historical markers on the outside of the houses. Then, they’re putting plywood up over all the windows, going inside the houses and gutting them. *The houses I’ve noticed this happening to are houses where the owners don’t live in them full time anymore.*
—update —I drove by a house today without a historical marker, but Same people doing the same thing. Boarded up all the windows. Gutted the house. Left everything outside. Sheetrock, insulation, but took the wiring and the leftover plywood from boarding up the windows. **If you know of someone who owns old property and isn’t living there full time anymore, you should drive by and check on it.
I went out of town for 3 weeks and came back on July 5 to my shed on fire. The new renters in the neighborhood couldn’t be bothered to supervise their juvenile delinquents who were outside in the dark shooting fireworks off in the middle of the street. Now the insurance agent says: We know it’s not your fault, but if you file a claim, your premium will Go Up by at least 50% next year. Just because there would be a claim on file. *Who needs a shed right? Or the stuff that was in it?*
I went to the Starbucks at edgewater mall 1/2 hour before they opened on the morning the pink bear cups were released. It was dark and pouring down rain in the predawn hours. I went because the nice guy who works there told me days before that they had the cups but couldn’t put them out until the official release date. Others were waiting to buy them, too. When the store did open, the employee who unlocked the door said they didn’t get anything. No cups. No truck came at all. We should all check the next day. I went back the next day. Turns out the employee lied. They had the cups the day before. They put them out later that morning—after every employee who wanted one bought theirs. (People wonder how these things end up on eBay. The employees either hold some back or buy them on the release date and say they don’t have any.) *This leaves true collectors like me standing in the rain like chumps*
—In retrospect, this is probably a sign to stop collecting Starbucks stuff, put it all up for sale, and use the money to replace some of the stuff that was in the shed.
took my car to a different car wash that I had never been to before. Went through the wash and noticed how everything was really pounding against my car and how hard the water pressure was. Came out the other side and part of my trim on my car was bent. Bent. Has never happened before. Bought the car brand new. No accidents. No damages. Car wash manager says it’s not their fault. So now I have this bent piece sticking straight up. *From a certain angle—it looks like a flagpole without a flag!?!
driving on the interstate this morning when the redneck in the giant old red and white pickup next to me decided he wanted to change lanes. No turning his head or signaling. Just suddenly moving his giant POS over and almost crashing into me. I honked-and he kept coming-and I had to swerve all the way over onto the side of the road so he didn’t hit me. *Because if he’d hit me, it would’ve been his fault, and MY car insurance would go up. Just because there would be a claim on file* Then, the other redneck in the white truck behind me must not have been paying attention to what was happening, because he slammed on his brakes and swerved to not hit the red and white truck that was now in front of him. And What does this genius do? He lowers his window and starts yelling at me that I can’t drive. (FYI—if I couldn’t drive, they would have been a 3 car collision. But I have good driving skills and fast reflexes.) Why not yell at the guy in the red and white truck who caused the whole thing? Because redneck men from Jackson cty stick together, especially when they’re looking down at women from their oversized trucks. FYI- no guy had better not roll down their window to say Anything to me, good or bad, for the rest of time. I don’t care who you are or where you come from. I’m sick of their sense of entitlement. Face front and go about your business.
*In case either of them reads this—I have a Dashboard cam, and both their plates*
The other thing that I Really want to post would probably put me in danger so I’ll leave it at that
