I went off on a fellow customer at my bank today
I must have looked nuts.
I was on my way to the gym. I had on shortz and a silly teeshirt. I stopped in the bank on the way to make a deposit.
As I am standing in line, this woman is discussing the value of her stocks and bonds with one of the bank personnel. She's saying that we need less taxes and less regulation so her stock values will go up. The bank person seemed less than happy to be speaking to her.
I lost it. I interrupted her.
"The reason our entire economy is crap is because we have an idiot president who started an idiot war and put it on the national credit card. We can't have record deficits and a dollar in the toilet and still let you clip your coupons."
The bank guy smiled.
"Yeah, but Congress went along," she said, with that rich person whine.
"Yeah ..... your REPUBLICAN Congress went along."
Game, set, match.
I felt better after that.
Oh, so that's who it was! I was at the bank today...been going there for years. Anyway, you know how you kind of engage in small talk...this particular teller has a small bit of acreage she's fixing up too so we sometimes talk about whatever project we're planning. There was this drooling, green-haired idiot behind me and Jessica (that's the teller's name) kind of whispered under her breath that he was a real whacko, comes in all the time complaining about something. NO ONE wants to be the one to "serve" him. That's probably why she was taking so much time with me even though there was a pretty long line. So I was telling her I couldn't wait for my rebate check because I was going to get more
river rock for my
pond. I'm making a waterfall with plans I found on the Internet. I was saying I might build my new chicken coop on next to it cuz my rooster
Max likes to stand next to the water and crow, but at this point it was just
speculation.
Well, this idiot behind me just came UNGLUED! Jessica smiled at him and asked him to calm down. He started in on something about President Bush, something about my stocks and bonds and some anti-war nonsense. He seemed to misunderstand and somehow thought she was agreeing with him because then he started in on something about the national debt and clipping coupons...it was kind of hard to understand because there was all this spittle coming out of his mouth and it was kind of distracting. What any of this has to do with my putting in a waterfall or where I want to put my new chicken coop I don't know. By this time the whole bank was staring at this jerk and wondering what his problem was. It was really weird.
