Elevator etiquette...
One quick blog about a huge pet peeve of mine that has been happening quitea bit!! People in elevators! I will admit that I am one of those peoplethat get on the elevator and push the close button as quickly as I can.Even if I see someone coming (or running) to the elevator to catch the sameone that I am on. I will totally slam the doors in their face! I cannotstand when someone boards the lift on a floor and goes up or down only onefloor! WTF? USE THE FUCKING STAIRS! If you are going to go one floor it would be almost as quick, if not faster, to haul your fat ass down thestairs as you probably could use the exercise anyway! I, myself, have a twofloor rule. If I am going up or down two floors then I take the stairs.Easy enough. Also, another issue that just really chaps my hide is when Iam trying to get off the elevator and either one or more people try and geton before I get out! AHHHHHHHHH! WTF? It isn't like the lift is going toleave in the 2.2 seconds it take me to get out. WAIT until people leavebefore you get on. Total common courtesy. And one last thing....turn offthat STUPID bluetooth headset and hang up the damn phone. Everyone knows there is no one on the other line so stop pretending like you are someonespecial-cause ya ain't! Now do you see why I desperately try to close thedoors....my own piece of mind.

Bitch, I am Gonna Take Care of You...
I was thinking back to my last DART incident and I cannot believe that I haven't blogged about it...
About Christmas time I was headed to work. The express bus was very full and it was very cold outside. Being Christmas time people had all their coats, scarves and what seems to be all other worldly possesions on board with them. I get on the bus in front of the Kirby Building. I am not supposed to because the bus is actually a premium express that costs more to ride. When the bus gets to the west end then it turns to the local express. But since I am a DART platinum member then they overlook that fact. Anyway, back to the story. This woman boards the bus right before getting on the Tollway. She apparently spots a woman sitting up front she has an issue with. At this point we are on the Tollway and the woman continues to get louder in her remarks. It seems that this crazy woman was owed money from an Avon order. She continues to state "you owe me 32 dollars...you betta give me my 32 dollars." This goes on and on for several miles. The further we go the louder she got. The woman on the receiving end was heard saying "I will get you your money just please calm down." I was sitting three rows back and on the other side so I was able to see what was going on. Right before we exited Harvest Hill, the pissed off lady stood up and screamed "give me my money." the other lady said to please sit down. At which point the crazy one yelled "Bitch, I'm gonna take care of you." Now, as she was reaching into her large purse, as she was saying this phrase, I was thinking that if she pulls out a gun then I am done with DART. I will be taking the day off and purchasing a new car. People around them started screaming and everyone got down...except me cause I like to know what is going on-which really isn't that smart. But anyway, instead of a gun she pulls out a mason jar of bleach, removes the cap and throws it into this woman's face. Two people were sent to the hospital, the crazy lady went to jail and I was late for work. I kept thinking, what if she had pulled a gun? Thankfully she didn't and the other two individuals are ok. People need to leave their hate and grudges and person business at home. Deal with it on your own time, not on the time of 40 other people.
