Today's Rant

So lets get to it..

Item #1- So how entitled have we oversensitive parents let our children become? Hell, we teach them they don't even need to follow the rules! In Indiana a kid was tossed from the basketball team for not abiding by the haircut policy outlined in the rules code..His overindulgent parents are suing for discrimination! Unbelievable!!! Whether you agree with the rule or not is immaterial, they knew the rule when they registered the child, and he was warned multiple times. Hey intellectually impaired parents, stop teaching your spoiled offspring that the rules don't apply to them. What do you think, when they get in the real world that employers are going to put up with that crap? Start putting the effort in to being a parent, not a buddy. They'll get it when the get older.

Item #2- Tomatoes. Yes tomatoes. I don't know about you, but I eat lunch out constantly when I am working. I have select deli's and restaurants that I frequent, and I expect a acceptable level of food quality. So what cave dwelling society or culture do you come from that you don't know what a RIPE TOMATO looks like? Hint: If it's yellow it's not ripe! At least not in my world. Three times this week I have received sandwiches on which the tomatoes have crunched like apples. It makes me wonder what other quality issues are being ignored. Can you say salmonella? This ranks up there with needing to know a second language when you go to 7-11 for a cup of coffee.

Item #3 My favorite. How incompetent do your supervisors think you are when, as a bus driver they don't think you can handle a coating of snow. Not accumulation, a coating. Schools around Baltimore were delayed for 2 hours on Friday the 7th for no good reason. For those that say it's a safety issue, are your huggies wet?  Stop complaing and making excuses, it's a training issue. Teach your drivers how to drive responsibly with a coating of snow. A coating is no reason to close schools! How much money do you think working parents lose in those couple of hours? Here's a thought, if you are going to close the schools come to the house and pick the kids up!
