Part II of my restaurant employee, pet peeve, bitch fest!!! I don't know about you, but I'm excited. It feels great getting this off my chest. At this point, this is just gonna have to be a running list. Just when I think I've seen it all, another asshole gets sat at my table/sits at my bar. Besides, I just like complaining in general. No one likes a complainer in person. I feel less bad complaining on my blog because it's my blog and I can say whatever I want! Let the bitching commence and for the love of God, stop doing that!!

11.) This may come as a surprise to some of you but, "to go" containers mean you can take it home. My biggest restaurant pet peeve of all time is when people ask to get their food wrapped up and then I come back to the table to find the people gone, but the styrofoam box still sitting at the table. Styrofoam is bad for the Earth. The shit doesn't ever decompose. Ever. It will be here after you die. So the less we use of it, the better. At least if we have to have it, really use it! Geez, Louise.

12.) "Hi, my name is Haley. I'll be your server tonight. How are you doi.."

"Ya, um can I get a bud light draft?" Manners, Asswipe. Let me finish my sentence. Now I'm not telling you the specials, so put that in your pipe and smoke it!

13.) Do you reeeaallllyyy need something each and every single time I pass the table? Can't just ask for it all at once, maybe think it through a little more? I'm pretty sure Princess Diana wasn't that high maintenance.

14.) I will take an actual cash tip over a verbal tip any day. Call me crazy. Don't tell me how great I am and how wonderful everything is and then leave me $10 on a $100 tab. Your words are nice and all but I can't take them to the bank.

15.) Please do not start off a sentence with, "I don't mean to take this out on you but..." and then continue to take it out on me with a couple swears in there at that. The nerve! I'm sorry you have had a few bad experiences here in the past but they certainly have not been with me because I've never seen you before in my life so if you could stop being a miserable bitch to me, that'd be great. I'd be willing to bet no one speaks to you like the way you just spoke to me at your job. Please know that it has taken every ounce of energy to restrain myself from flipping the fuck out on you right back. You should commend me. And hey, how about you stop coming here if you hate it so much? Just a thought.

16.) My favorite is when I am carrying three heavy, hot plates all at once and I attempt to put them down on the table and no one moves their shit out of the way. Then there are the seven awkward seconds when I'm just standing there, burning the skin off my arm until finally, a retard gets a whiff of burning flesh and realizes that they actually have to make room for me since my hands are full. I can just drop it on your lap instead. That looks like a good spot to me.

17.) On a Friday or Saturday night when it's packed, EXCUSE ME!=MOVE! I've actually just started kicking people's legs.

18.) The whole fighting over the bill thing is cute and all but don't do it in front of me and throw a bunch of credit cards at me. "No, take my credit card!" "No, take mine!" I don't know which fuckin' credit card to take! You're making this weird.

19.) This one is more bartending related but I gotta say it. I just listened to you for two plus hours talk about your life. More specifically, your fucking glory days on the Brockton High School Football Team. And I acted like I gave a shit! Leave me a good tip! Christ!

20.) Nah, you still can't have my number.

Oh my Blog, Blog, Oh my Blog. I sort of forgot I created this little pastime for myself, hence the no posts. Actually, that is a lie. I didn't forget. I keep thinking, I should blog but them I'm all...meh. I've just been majorly uninspired with music that's been in my ears the past couple of months, with a few exceptions of course (stay tuned). What gives, Bands? It's not like I haven't been trying either. Actually, that is a lie as well. Laziness and I have been getting a little too comfortable with each other. Finding new, good music is a process. Do you know how much shit I have to listen to to find one good song? A lot. A whole freakin' lot. In the end though, it's worth it for that amazing three to four minutes of a song that you know you'll suck the life out of 'cause you'll listen to it so much. Or am I the only one that does that? I'm not sure where I'm going with all this I'm just bored and my cat is sick of hearing me talk to him. Oh yeah, uninspired ...

Even bands I have loved are letting me down. Kings of Leon. Exhibit A. I've been into this band since 2004ish, before Caleb even knew he was hott and before anyone knew that their sex was on fire. Their new single is just really not gettin' it up for me. What is this "Radioactive" bullcrap? Haven't heard it yet? If you have three minutes and thirty seconds to waste, here you go: Predictable. I'm fairly certain that KOL strictly follows this formula when writing songs now: upbeat guitar riff + Caleb belting out chorus = KISS 108 FM. It's just so typical of them nowadays. I'm sad about it because I truly had high hopes for them. I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, good for them, they're successful and shit and I guess that's what most bands strive for but don't forget about the real rock songs! There's just no throw down in their songs anymore. I feel as though they are robotic in their writing process now. There are no more Trani's, Slow Night, So Long's, or Knocked Up's on their most recent release and I'm predicting that will be the case with their upcoming album, Come Around Sundown. I hope I'm wrong. Come back to me, Kings of Leon. Come back.

This has been such a debbie downer post. (waaaah waaaaahhh)

How's about some good, hard to come by songs? Ok! The following have been my only rays of sunshine from my speakers:

Deerhunter - "Helicopter"

Sufjan Stevens - "Heirloom"

Warpaint - "Undertow"

See, Kings of Leon? See what those people did there with their songs? Remember how you used to do that?

Slata.
