tid bits

i like to pay in exact change. i dont know why. but i get self gratification when i can present the cashier the exact dollar bills and cents for a purchase. like a small child. just learning how to add money. or making their first purchase without parents. if i can not present the exact amount. i sometimes do the math in my head. to where i think it would be the simplest way for them to give me change. they then look at me like i am rainman. or just insane. i dont have cash majority of the time. so it doesnt happen often.

my weekend was kind of blown by a rude note. i take things personal. probably too personal in this case. but a neighbor threatened to call the police because of a dog barking. it wasnt late at night. and doesnt happen often. so i feel that a threat like this was a little harsh. i had a letter to give back. but then after mother told me not to get into a pissing match. i thought about it more. the threatening note was not signed. so i didnt want to aim my rage and guilt trip toward the wrong person. now i am just extra loud when walking around. coming and going. just in case it was the people below me.

the note started the weekend. i ended it by bumping into a mini van at the atm on sunday afternoon. i was watching this odd behavior of a man and his daughter. they were standing outside the car. she seemed sick and upset. they were in a line with the mini van (the one i hit) but then it left and they stayed there. after realizing the other line was open. i went to reverse. and bump. there was the mini van. now behind me. the woman driver came at me with total attitude. slamming her car door. rolling her head. first off her outfit was very inappropriate. hooker boots. leggings. with a shirt that did not cover her assets. well probably what she considers her assets. she didnt really speak to me. just a lot of huffing. and puffing. mind you the tween daughter was roaming the parking lot solo. the dad/man came to evaluate the bumpers of our cars. no damage done. i apologized and said looks like no harm was done and went back to my car. she announced to another car behind her that the other atm was out of order. they then gave me the stare down. walked around the front of the car again. to make sure their boston red sox license plate wasnt bent. oh please. i chuckled a little when the sox's lost last night. probably made her mad again.
