Maybe I'm the only one here who finds this disgusting but why do girl (women, ladies females etc) go into the bathroom with an OPEN container of their drink?? I see it all the time, cups of coffee, tea, hot chocolate, open cans of soda...has anyone heard of GERMS??? You know FECAL MATTER?? ugh!
Bad enough if it was a closed bottle, but no, they have the lids off and such, bring them into the stall with them! (EWWWWW!!!!) and then put them on the sink counter as they do their hair (PRIOR to washing their hands after using the toilet!)
it's just NASTY!

Something 'new'
Well this isn't a blog about my commute or the stupidity I see at school everyday, but it IS something I have to vent about...bars!
I went out last week with some friends to a bar. Now I hardly go out to bars anymore, but after what I experienced I understand why I stay away.
The place was PACKED, at least 3-4 people deep to get to the bar. We find a little corner to stand in and have a look around. It was weird, every face you looked at was either 21 or 65, there was no in between..what the hell is THAT about? And carrying a conversation with your friends was near impossible, due to the karaoke going on and the other people trying to talk over the karaoke. I really would like a place where I can sit down, have a few drinks and actually TALK to my friends. (why can't it be like on 'How I Met Your Mother'??)
After a while I ventured forth towards the bar to get a drink. I said my excuse me's and such but it didn't work, I had to lean in and talk into their ears and yet people would still just stand there. I had a few people move that incredible inch to let me through. I mean are you complimenting me by actually thinking I can make it through that tiny crevice of a space you left me or are you just being stupid (I believe it's the latter choice)
When I got back to the 'corner' I tried to have a conversation again, and as I talked with my friend, I was pushed multiple times, pushed? no it is more like SHOVED. I literally bumped into my friend a couple of times after people made their way through. No 'excuse me', not even the light little push, that makes you move aside, no they were plowing through like linebackers (oh my husband would be so proud..I used a football term!)
We moved around the bar to go watch some karaoke. Don't get me wrong I like a little karaoke-ing now and then, I have even gone up a few times myself, but this was ridiculous. I guess watching 20-somethings, way beyond drunk, scream their asses off to terrible songs just isn't my cup of tea.
Maybe I AM just too old for this shit...but what about those old timers I saw??
*** an additional note ***
At school last night, I was forced to use a pay phone (as many of you may know, I have had some cell phone issues, so I don't have one at the moment). Not a big deal.
I go to the hallway and put my 75 cents in to make a call home. Well as I am listening to the phone ring, I am practically knocked over by some girl and her huge bag. I was forced against the wall! (Good thing I was standing to the side of the pay phone or else my teeth would have a new grill on them saying VERIZON) I turned and looked at her and she just stared at me like "What?" Now being in this school an being a minority (white girl from LI) I do not want to start shit with anyone, so I just let it go. But THEN she walks up next to me and gets on the other pay phone and as she's searching for change, she is screaming down the hallway to other people.
At this point, I can no longer hear my mother on the phone, and I tell er that if she can hear me, I'll call her back later because I can't hear her due to the noise.
Now people come on!! Why are there so many rude assholes around??

Oh yeah and another thing
Why the HELL do I ALWAYS get stuck with the person sitting next to me that refuses to get up when we are pulling into the station. Now maybe you have a bad sense of balance or whatever, OK understandable, but you don't even get ready to get up until the train has STOPPED.
For example the girl next to me last night, was reading a script or whatever and she had 3 large bags with her, on her, next to her. The announcement is made that we are pulling into the final station and that you should gather up your belongings etc etc
Well she ignores the announcement and continues to read, OK, no biggie.
We pull into the station, we are slowing to a stop, she starts to put away her papers and such, THEN she whips out the cell phone and starts to text message back and forth. Still sitting there, mostly everyone else has already walked to the end of the train car or are in various stages of getting coats on and grabbing bags. I squeeze myself into my jacket, because I can't stand up and I can't reach out my arms to actually put it on like a human being. I start to stand up (I have to lean on the seat in front of me because I have to duck below the luggage racks overhead)
At this point the train has stopped, the doors have opened, time to get off! She looks up at me and says "oh sorry" and starts fumbling with her bags. She then stands in the aisle (still blocking my exit from the seat) and tells me to go ahead. First of all you haven't moved far enough for me to squeeze by and secondly, you are now blocking a line of passengers that want to get off the train as well I tell her "Let them go by first". She moves into the seat behind me, and lets the other people go by.
I start my move out of the seat and now she COMES BACK and is trying to get all of her shit together. I was mere seconds away from exploding. Needless to say we were the LAST people off the train (with the exception of those who work on the LIRR)
ACK!

A Thursday Kind of Rant
Here's a rant for today....
How can it be that people are so frigging oblivious to their actions, that they don't see what they're doing to other people who have to share the same space with them on the way to work, school, etc on the train?
- why douse yourself in cologne and trigger my migraines? or make the lady in front of me start having a sneezing attack (which is gross in itself, and sets off a chain reaction of grossness). A little spritz or dab is fine, why smell like you fell in the vat at the perfume factory? Do you really think you smell that good? or are you trying to cover up a nasty smell (in that case, I kind of want to thank you, I'd rather keel over from cologne fumes than die of unknown body odors) PLEASE, ease up!
- oh and the lady who clipped her nails throughout the train ride...yeah I heard the 'clip' 'clip' 'clip' and I saw you let the fingernail scraps fall to the floor and on the seat next to you. How disgusting can you be?? Beyond the nastiness, I want to know what the hell; you had to clip for an hour and a half, I mean I THINK you only had ten fingers, but maybe you're special and have a few extras.
- oh yeah, guy in front of me that couldn't get comfortable....I know the train seats aren't the cushiest of seats to be stuck in for the long train trip, but your constant shifting and roughly sitting down etc kept banging your seat against my knees...your uncomfortableness made ME uncomfortable as well....thanks
and now I am at school....in the library computer lab...and I have a few fellow students around me,
- the kid that keeps sniffling....we have like 100 bathroom around here (4 in the library itself) go get a fucking tissue 'sniff' 'sniff' 'sniff' its repulsive to hear your snot get pushed further up your nose.
- the EXTREMELY loud typer, calm down guy, its just a keyboard, and we're in the lab where we can't do work processing, so those IM's can't be THAT dire that you have to slam on the keys...that's why my technology fees keep going up
I think that's it for now............we'll see
