My Opinion Is Not Humble

Honestly, the expression "in my humble opinion"  is a load of crap.  First of all, it's condescending.  A) I know it's you opinion. B) When you premise a comment with that, you are basically saying "I know better than you, but want to manipulate the sitch to seem like I am not saying it outright".  No one has said it to me lately.  It just peeves me.  Though, I do laugh on the inside when people get condescending.  I get it dude - you are not so smart that I do not get it.

Actually, it entertains me a snare.  I have to be honest.

I have been on an entitlement rampage the last few days.  Not me being entitled...people are working my nerves.

My recent travel back to Chicago was a hot mess.  I take a shuttle from my boyfriend's to the airport.  Sometimes they pick up more peeps.  This trip was one of them.  This trip I was hoping that they would not get lost.  For some reason, they got totally lost last time.  I think they had the wrong address.  It was stressful though.

I digress.

So we pick up a lady in a scooter. First, we pull up front to a courtyard type building and a young man runs up from the very back apartment and asks for the van to be pulled up through the alley.  Fair enough.  The driver had called 5 minuted prior to pick up.  We should go back there and load up and go, right?  Wrong.

They had like 8 suitcases still in the house that the driver had to go in and get.  The two kids with the woman each brought out one or two bags.  Seriously, the process took at least 15 minutes.  I was fuming.

If you know you are about to picked up...for the airport...with other people also needing to get to the airport...wouldn't the thing to do be...I don't know...BE READY?  Why were not the bags out on the yard.  The secured, gated yard?  When you know that they are coming in minutes?  Annoyed.

This coming from the girl that is late to everything.  Whatever.  Not when it comes to someone else having to get to the airport.

The kicker.  She is also going to Chicago, but her flight is 2 hours after mine.  She wanted to be ready since she is so slow.  Thanks for respecting my time, sister.

I actually have a few more instances of interesting random stupid people crap from the journey, but my brain hurts right now.  I will have to continue tomorrow.

I hope you are all glorious and free.  I have not written in a long time and it's kinda bullshit.  I call shenanigans on me right now.

Smooches!

This just made me smile hard.  Check out this sweet ride.  Is that Abe Vigoda?!
