That reminds me of this book I read once. But that was about alien pets, so, you know, completely different.

Beat me to it.

Because I don't want you guys to miss out on any of my humiliating adventures:

"So, I guess someone is seeing my apartment tonight."
"oh, sure. That can happen."
"no, I mean, I have to clean it."
"I don't care about that! Give me a break!"
"no. No. Not you. Someone is coming to look at my apartment, with my landlord. To rent it. I probably can't make our date."
"oh."

Long chain of complainers on my neighborhood forum talking about fireworks.

Quote
Unfortunate that on a day where people all over our city are feeling joy and pride, so many in our neighborhood are grumpy about a little noise. Wasn't this country founded by lawbreakers, runaways, and scalawags? Hopefully one day everyone in Shaw will be wise enough to stay in and complain on the internet instead of having fun with their neighbors. ah well. I just got home from work, time to go out and enjoy the holiday.

I couldn't help myself. Probably going to get told off by a bunch of grumpy old assholes. Sure, fireworks are unsafe and noisy. In the city with the highest crime rate in the US, I'm happy to see people of all shapes, sizes, colors, whatever having fun and watching pretty lights in the sky. Everywhere I looked on my drive home I saw families, couples, singles, everyone out watching the fireworks. Driving home took forever because there were cars parked on every bridge blocking a lane of traffic. I got to stop long enough in traffic to look out and see the fireworks exploding behind the arch. Beautiful.

confirmed that I did it right, because everyone is yelling at me and cussing and calling me an asshole. Feels like victory.

I wish I had been a little less snotty, or something, but man these people are freaking out about these fireworks, and saying how the people shooting them off are bad neighbors, inconsiderate, selgiraffe, bad parents putting their kids in danger, etc.

I'm sure comparing fireworks to jaywalking or going through a stop sign on your bike would not help the situation.

I bet they complain about the noise and music and high-fat treats when the ice cream truck comes around too.

Nothing like going to a free, public fireworks display to remind you that our forefathers fought and died to protect our inalienable right to behave like a jerk.

they are still talking about it, 24 hours later. Normally this much discussion only happens when someone suggests you don't have to call the cops every time you see a black guy outside.

I asked a black guy if he needed directions last week and he went full on militant on my ass. He rolled down all the windows to show his wife and kids in the car and then got out and asked 'why the fck' I was asking that question. He said he saw a sign a for an open house (at 8pm) and wanted to check it out. I explained he was going the wrong way down a one way road and that he could turn around in my driveway. Asking him to turn around and go away didn't go over so I just said "Ok man, I have to get back to what I was doing. Good luck with the house!" This seriously rattled me for a few reasons and the girl got mad that I let it get to me - that some guy was out there cursing me as a racist because I offered directions.

You should ask the "Is this racist" guy if you were being racist.

you were not being racist, obviously, but I think a lot of black people have had a lot of bad experiences with people trying to let them know they are not wanted in a certain area. Unfortunately you got yelled at by a guy who judged wrong. At work I always wondered why black customers were so suspicious of me until I realized that many of my coworkers are quazi-openly rude and unhelpful to black customers.

People sometimes suck.

This "friend" I really don't like, but can't escape because my friends are all apologists for her, is slowly insinuating herself into cultural power structures in this city. She sucks, refuses to listen to anyone else's ideas, doesn't care about anyone but herself and her friends, and is a relentless self-promoter. UGH.

She keeps talking recently about how we need better "publicity," and saying that a lot of our problems are problems of perception-- "I live in St Louis and I have never been mugged and I have a good job, why can't the media tell more representative stories?" Because her story is more "representative" of St Louis than statistics???

This week there have been TWO humiliating stories in the NYT about St Louis, one about school transfers and racism and one that touches on My Alma Mater Not Caring about Poor Students. Maybe our publicity person could somehow fix the perception that these problems exist?

Jesus. I have disliked this lady for so many years, but I feel like if I make that better known I will become The Bad Guy.

I also got in a pretty intense argument at work with a customer who wanted to talk to me about the recent fast food walkouts. Week of confrontation.
