THE FACT THAT I CAN'T SPELL "SITUATION" PROPERLY!
SOMEBODY DO ME! AND PLEASE BE RELATIVELY ATTRACTIVE! AND NOT MARRIED! AND HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR! AND KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING DOWN THERE!
I DON'T WANT TO BE GETTING SICK AGAIN! I WAS JUST FUCKING SICK LAST MONTH!!
I NEED TO GET LAID. MORE THAN ONCE A WEEK. I MEAN SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE HELL!
WHAT'S A GIRL GOTTA DO I TELL YA...?!
HEY! STOP ALL THE M*%#@! F#@*$! YELLING. I AM TRYING TO EAT MY LUNCH. JP, SINCE YOU ARE RIGHT DOWN THE HALL I CAN DO YOU WHEN I AM DONE WITH MY SANDWICH! OKAY!

Left! Sorry, can't spell when I am angry!
Here here to people who talk too much. Talking is overrated.
The usual - people who say they're going to do something, you put your trust in them, and, of course, they don't do it.
MY FUCKING BOSS WHO IS A TROLL AND HAS SUPER SMALL HANDS AND IS SUPER CONDESCENDING. WHY FUCK DID WE HIRE HIM?!?!?!?!!!!!!
PUSHY MCPUSHERSON ON THE TRAIN THIS MORNING WHO PUSHED ME OUT OF HIS WAY SO HE COULD GET OFF THE TRAIN WHEN ALL I WAS TRYING TO DO WAS STEP OUT THE DOOR TO LET PEOPLE OUT. DON'T FUCKIN' PUSH ME IF I'M TRYING TO BE NICE, ASSHOLE.

GET YOUR FUCKING SUV OFF THE FUCKING ROAD YOU FUCKING SELFISH ASS. YOU AREN'T HAULING ANYTHING, SO HANG UP AND PULL THE FUCKER OVER. AND DON'T HIT ME ON MY BIKE WHILE YOU'RE DOING IT.
FUCK YOU VERY MUCH.
good timing... if you go to a show that you know is sold out and that has 2 bands that attract a lot of high energy punks who like to thrash around a bit during their music intake do not expect to stand in the 3rd row just off center and expect people not to bump into you once in a while making you sucker punch them with an elbow to the ribcage rather than just push them off in the opposite direction and then get you pissed so that arguing insues and your wannabee punk friend decides that spitting at people is the coolest thing to do at a punk show. you bastards suck. go back to suburbia. scream over..

JSR, I have spent thirty hours working on, tweaking, and arguing over a piddly two-fold brochure for a cheap product for you and now we're arguing about adding colors and saving a hundred bucks or so. Roughly $3K has been squandered paying me my $50K salary to do what a sixteen-year-old with servicable Quark expertise could have done. You are a complete nimrod. Stick to selling and stop telling me how to design a brochure. This is not my job anymore. I shouldn't be punished with this shit because I happen to know Quark. I am sick of doing this boring layout crap I've done since 1994 for idiots who think it's rocket science. I need to do my real job and freelance for idiots like you in my spare time.
WORKING MY ASS OFF IN COLLEGE ONLY TO HAVE TO WAIT TWO YEARS (AND COUNTING) TO GET ANYTHING RESEMBLING A DECENT ENTRY-LEVEL JOB!

FERRETS COULD DO MY JOB, IF THEY WERE ANAL-RETENTIVE FERRET FREAKS. OH YEAH, AND MY CAT KEEPS BREAKING THINGS AND I HAVEN'T GOTTEN LAID IN WAY TOO LONG TO COMFORTABLY MENTIONING IN MIXED COMPANY. i want a drink.

SERENITY NOW!
I LOVE FRENCH FRIES! LOVE 'EM!

ALSO, WE'RE NOT PAYING YOU TEMPS TO SIT AND CHAT ON THE PHONE ALL DAY! IF YOU DON'T HAVE WORK TO DO, GO HOME AND STOP SUCKING UP MY COMPANY'S MONEY AND DISTRACTING PEOPLE WITH YOUR INSIPID BANTER!
STOP CALLING ME AND SHUT THE FUCK UUUUUUPP!
EDITING MY CO-WORKER'S PISS POOR WRITING AND HAVING TO DO IT BY WRITING ON POST-IT NOTES AND STICKING THEM TO THE PISS POOR PAGE BECAUSE WE LIKE TO KICK IT OLD SCHOOL AT MY PROGRESSIVE NON-PROFIT SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCY.

THAT VARIOUS ASSHOLES OUT THERE TRAIN DOGS TO FIGHT; POLLUTE THE WATER, AIR AND LAND; AND REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE GLOBAL WARMING!!

IF I HAVE TO WALK ON EGGSHELLS 5 DAYS A WEEK, 8 HOURS A DAY FOR TOO MUCH LONGER I MIGHT LOSE MY SHIT. I HAVE LISTENED TO YOUR COMPLAINTS, SUFFERED THROUGH YOUR MOODSWINGS & WAS SYMPATHETIC WHEN SEVERAL 'EARTH SHATTERING' THINGS HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU. THIS IS WORK. BRINGING IN SMALL OUTSIDE ISSUES IS ONE THING. NEVER SAYING ANYTHING POSITIVE EVER ABOUT ANYONE IS ANOTHER.

/Yes, I am a two-timer. The WORST kind of scum! Go ahead, yell at me. You KNOW you want to!
Amy,
Hahahahaha! You didn't win any money on the Derby, either.
BARBARO!!!
Your boyfriend is a dork, his bed ROCKS and NYC is the TITS!!! It's the TITS, I sez; THE TITS!!!
Dear straight men of Chicago,
Just because I shared my table with you at this busy coffee shop does not mean I want to look at, talk to or fuck you. I'm a dyke. And even if I was straight, I wouldn't give a shit about your stupid band. If another table opens up, move!
Dying alone, and, preferably, young.
To follow up "It Must Be Mating Season's" comment, above:
Dear Straight Men,
Just because I am not interested an immediate make-out, right now! does not mean that I am a "f*cking dyke." It doesn't really mean anything about my sexual preferences, one way or the other. It just means that I am not interested in you. Please, do not take this very apparant disinterest as a ploy on my part to get you to try even harder. I'm not shy; I'm not angry; I'm not frigid. I'm just not interested in you.
It's a tough, tough world, I know. But that's the way it is.
On a related note:
Dear Straight Men,
Please allow me to engage in everyday, commonplace pleasantries such as making eye contact, smiling, holding a door open, etc., without assuming that this is a coded request for you to make sexually aggressive remarks. This causes us to degenerate into the scenario described above, and convinces me that I shouldn't engage in commonplace pleasantries unless I want to be subjected to harassment.
PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, JUST BE COOL! JUST DON'T BE A JACKASS!
Thank you.
Additionally, F NYC. Urbs in horto.
WILL YOU PLEASE STOP SCREAMING, I HAVE A MOTHER OF A HEADACHE!
OR YOU COULD JUST POLITELY SAY THANKS, BUT I"M NOT INTERESTED!! YOU SHOULD TAKE MY ADVANCES AS A COMPLIMENT AND MOVE ON!!!
THAT'S BS, HCG!! YOU SHOULD KEEP IT TO YRSELF & QUIT BOTHERING PEOPLE! YR ADVANCES ARE NOT A 'COMPLIMENT' BUT AN ANNOYANCE! GO COMPLIMENT YR MOTHER!
AND DITTO TO FLOBEAR! THE LAKEFRONT PATH IS MORE THAN JUST A GLORIFIED SIDEWALK--IT IS A BIKE LANE! DON'T JOG RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE! THERE'S NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR YR DOUBLE-WIDE STROLLER! I RUN & BIKE IT, YET I HAVE NO SYMPATHY FOR YOU SO GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY!
HORNY GUY, ET AL! NO ONE IS SAYING THAT HORNY IS BAD. BUT THEY WAY YOU SEEM TO ENGAGE WOMEN JUST MAKES US WANT TO RUN THE OTHER WAY, IF BY SOME CHANCE WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN INTO YOU. YOU HAVE A PRIVLEDGE IN THIS CULTURE AS A MAN, AND YOU FLAUNT IT UNPLEASANTLY WHEN YOU PRESUME WE ARE EAGERLY AWAITING YOUR WONDERFUL ATTENTION. YOU SHOULD KEEP YOUR ADVANCES TO YOURSELF, BECAUSE WE REALLY DON'T NEED A "COMPLIMENT" FROM YOU, AND *YOU* SHOULD MOVE ON!
SHUT UP ABOUT THE "SEXUAL HARASSMENT" BY HORNY, FRIENDLY MEN IN COFFEE SHOPS, YOU HYPER-SENSITIVE, SMUG, PRIVILEDGED AND HOSTILE FEMALES...YOUR TYPE MAKES ME ILL. YOU MAKE IT SO MUCH EASIER FOR SOCIETY TO DOWNPLAY THE AUTHENTIC STRUGGLE THAT SOME OF US ACTUALLY FACE AT HOME AND WORK.
THERE SEEMS TO BE NO FUCKING END TO THE AMOUNT OF REACH-AROUND PEOPLE HERE ON THE WEST COAST REQUIRE. I SWEAR, THE FUCKING SUN MAKES YOU FLAKEY, MENTALLY UNALERT AND A BORING MOTHERFUCKER WHEN IT COMES TO CONVERSATION. STILL, IT'D BE NICE IF YOU ARTLESS AND OPPORTUNISTIC PRICKS WOULD CALL ME WHEN YOLU SAY YOU'RE GONNA. SURE, CALL ME. I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT ACTUALLY HAPPEN. I HOPE I GET TO A POINT SOMEDAY WHEN I GET ASKED TO CALL PEOPLE BACK BECAUSE - HOT DAMN - I AM CALLING YOUR ASS SO HARD AND ALSO PLAYING THE BANJO SO LOUD YOU CAN HARDLY HEAR WHATEVER THE FUCK IT IS I AM SAYING.
I SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!
(AND VIRTUALLY AT FOLKS LIKE SCHAMADA, WTF? AND HORNY GUY WHO ARE PRESUMABLY LEERING PIGS AND(/OR?) MISOGYNISTS; SECOND TO LKs RANT AGAINST RACISM AND THE ALL-TOO-TYPICAL MIDDLE-CLASS (& ARTS SET) WITH THIER UNEXAMINED PRIVILEGE.)
BUT I PREFER TO SCREAM FOR LOVE, JOY AND BLISS!!!

The alterations department at house of Brides on Franklin st. FORGET the fact that you do not have an answering machine or a seamstress who is there only once a week. If you go back on your word and cannot have a dress ready on time, at least recommend someone who can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
