and people asked why the asshole (me) stood there and took a photo rather than saving the child (though at this point I think a Darwin award would have been in order, both for myself and the parent), I’ll show you what happened next:

YAY! Someone came to save the baby!

He just wasn’t strong enough to lift it.

(And for those of you who are curious, we did mention this unsafe practice to the mother, who gave us a dirty look and then ignored us. No one, and I mean NO ONE, wants to be told anything that insinuates that they are a bad parent. Ever. Try it sometime. I can guarantee you the response.)

help stop the thieves

May 26th, 2009

Will you people help me stop copyright infringment and inform the failblog people that my photo was stolen by Miss Claire M and someone had better credit me? I was going to say this is as bad as the Cheezburger photo thievery, until I realized it’s the same site.

How nice of someone to leave their nasal swab for their slimy snotty virus-ridden nose in the sample area at Sephora. I couldn’t think of a better place to leave that than next to the lip gloss samples.

I am a total jerk

May 13th, 2009

But sometimes when I see dog poop on the sidewalk, I stand there and wait for people to step in it. I think this is because of the incident in 4th grade when I stepped in dog poop while walking home from school and all of the kids made fun of me until I ran into my house in shame, at which point my mom yelled at me for tracking dog poop on the floor. I have not forgotten.

Back in May, I witnessed this ridiculous demonstration at UCLA.

Choosing a college campus for this sort of thing is a pretty bad idea if you ask me. Regardless of how people vote, college students in general tend to be a pretty tolerant bunch.

Yeah, his shirt says “TRUST JESUS.” Apparently your trust in Jesus doesn’t save you from homophobia, discrimination, or hate. But he’ll help you out with national security.

Then the kid with the book got into everyone’s faces and he had names for everyone. I think I was like “fornicator” and someone else was “sinner” and someone else was “hip-hop hootchie mama” or something. I wish I’d written them down, I thought I’d remember to post this but it slipped my mind. Sorry.

We saw these same signs at the Prop 8 march on Saturday. I think TRUST JESUS was there again, but this time his sign said “GOD DOES NOT LOVE YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE, SINNERS.” Well that’s nice, isn’t it? I love religious fanatics.

talk about impatient

September 12th, 2008

no really, you're blocking the lane

I mean, it takes 2 seconds to pull your car all the way into the spot, so why not do that? Why would it seem okay to just pull in halfway, put it in park, and turn off the car.

not even close

At first I thought this person maybe ran into the store really quick, so they were in a complete rush. But one of these photos was taken when I arrived at the store, and one was taken as I was leaving about 30 minutes later. Nice.

Yes, I have found all of these things in the apartments of guys I’ve dated over the years. Usually on the first or second date, though there were a few that I found months into the relationship, which was even more disturbing.

Your herpes medication in the medicine cabinet (okay, maybe I’m glad I found that in time)

A box of tampons under your sink (and you live alone and have no sisters)

The photo of you and your ex-girlfriend on the fridge with the “well, we’re still friends” explanation following shortly thereafter

A women’s gold necklace and ring on the nightstand (“Oh, that belongs to a friend.” Yes, clearly. A lady friend. Who was in your bed. Recently. Do I look stupid?)

Some random black thong which you claim was stuck in your laundry from the laundromat (why not a tube sock? Why a thong?)

Long girl hairs on your bathroom counter/floor and worse, your pillow

Used condoms (tied neatly at the top to save those precious juices inside) shoved under the bed (get a fucking trash can, moron, that was so gross I wanted to throw up)

Old crusty kleenex hardened and wadded up in your bed (seriously, dudes. It’s called a TRASH CAN.)

A fluorescent pink dildo in your medicine cabinet (he said “it was here when I moved in!” Um, either own up to it or throw it out. I have nothing against you being a little kinky, but pretending it’s not yours is weird.)

A framed photo of you, your girlfriend and your dog (I mean, if you’re going to cheat, take that shit down off the wall for a few hours, creep)

A note on your kitchen table that says “Thanks for last night! I had a great time! Love Heather XOXOXO!” (Side note, before I left that person’s place, when he wasn’t looking I picked up a pen and wrote under it “I did too! XOOXXO! Malingering.” I wonder why he didn’t call me again.)

NBA playoffs = douche night

June 30th, 2008

This night was impressively bad. This is why I fear if I stay in Los Angeles, I may be single forever.

First off the 6 foot 3 guy next to us decides that once the game starts, he needs to stand up. In front of us. And block the TV. And then he makes the wise decision to use one of the only available barstools (which he had been sitting on prior to the beginning of the game) for his jacket, even though there were people who arrived over an hour prior to the game who couldn’t get a seat. So he stood there with his equally tall fucktard buddy throughout the whole game. In front of the barstool. Which held his jacket. And no person. His jacket must have been exhausted after a long day at work and needed to lie down. Clearly it needed the bar stool much more than I did. Or the woman standing to the side of the bar on crutches with a torn ACL.

TV blockers

At halftime these two TV-blocking, jacket coddling genii decide they should leave and go to a strip club. They both had wedding rings (which did not stop them from flirting with any girl within a 15 foot radius) and were planning on sneaking off to a strip club, figuring they could just watch the game there. But then they couldn’t remember if the strip club had TVs, so they started to get distressed and in the end, stayed at the bar. Lucky me.

uggs

Then there was the guy we’d been standing next to for two hours prior to the game. He would get up to smoke, and each time we’d watch his seat until he got back. For two hours. He probably got up 4 times. He came back reeking of smoke and shit, which made us think that he may have been smoking his own log of poop. Either way, we were rather nice to him and watched his seat every time he left. Sometime around the 2nd quarter, some random chick comes up to the bar to order a drink. She was not only half his age but also had a boyfriend, yet for some unknown reason the guy gave her his seat for an hour, just to be nice. He said he didn’t want her to have to stand. Um, what about us, the three women who have been watching your bar stool for the last two hours while you go out and smoke your own turds? Did you ever ask if we were tired of standing? Not really. The best part is that he kept waving at the TV, as if Kobe Bryant could see him through the magic screen, recognize him, and then wave back. Brilliant.

thong

Okay, now let me go back to this bitch who pissed me off on the way there. I’m waiting to turn left, but there are people in the crosswalk. Not only are there people in the crosswalk, there is an elderly woman with a walker, inching across the street like a snail. Now of all the people I might run over, I would feel most bad about running over this person, as just the sight of my car could give her a heart attack and sneezing too close to her might break a hip and either could be her demise. So I wait patiently for her to cross the street before I turn. Meanwhile, some crazy bitch in a minivan behind me starts honking at me to turn. Clearly I can’t do this. I will kill the walker-lady. But she keeps honking. So I turn around and ask what the fuck her problem is, and she waves me along, telling me to turn. Meanwhile the old lady is still in my direct path. So this crazy bitch decides she will try to make the turn by going around me and then driving on the wrong side of the street to avoid hitting the woman. Apparently this was what I was supposed to do as well. At the next stop light, she pulled up to me with her window down. I asked her if she made a habit of trying to kill pedestrians or if today was a super special day and she was celebrating somehow. She just grinned at me with her crazed bitch minivan look. The person in the passenger side (presumably her son) rolled up the windows, but she kept staring at me with this insane Starbucks-overdose look. So I took her photo. My mother says people are going to vandalize my car if I do that. But I don’t think these people would waste a moment of their precious lives on little ol’ me.

bitch

Okay, so back to the bar.

Of course then a guy came up to me and started threatening me for taking photos of strangers and said he’d throw me out of the bar. He didn’t work there. How he was going to throw me out (he wouldn’t even be able to literally throw me out as he was scrawny and I could totally take him), I have no clue. Then we realized that this was the possible frotterism freak who was standing in the middle of the bar literally groping women as they walked by. No wonder he was so upset. He thought I’d caught him in a middle of a sex offense and was going to email the photos to his probation officer. I took 3 photos of him for good measure, basically to dare him to throw me out of the bar. He looked like he was going to cry and then walked away. He’s a pervtard.

the fondler

To make this night even better, the Lakers blew an 8 billion point lead to lose the game. Then a whole bunch of drunk fake blonds feigned distress and started hanging all over random bar guys. I hear a dick in the mouth is a good remedy for disappointment. I also noticed that none of these girls were even watching the game until the last 2 minutes of regulation. I would wonder why they come to a very crowded sports bar in the first place if they don’t care about basketball, but then I realized you can’t expect drunk hos to function within reasonable limits so it’s best not to try to apply logic to their actions.

Oh Los Angeles. What am I going to do with you?

I posted them on LAist.

Sunday’s win over the Rockies. Bring out your brooms.

Saturday’s game where I encountered a jerk – the comments here are cracking me up.

the dead helen

April 18th, 2008

I took this for comparison to see if I've improved.

3 rounds
400m run
21 deadlifts 95#
12 dead hang pull-ups

18:55

OMFG I hate dead hang pull-ups. When I was a kid I could do dozens of them. Now I can do about three. After being allowed and encouraged to kip for the past year, these just seem to get harder and harder.

But do you know what I hate even more? That fucktard at the gym who decides to give me unwelcome criticism about my freaking warm-up and then stands there and smirks as if he’s one-upped me or some shit. Um, asshole, I didn’t ASK YOU. I never ask you, and you always try to outdo me. Auuuuuuuuugh. I already stopped going to the advanced level class to try to avoid him, but he won’t go away. And literally every single time I see him, he has to make some derogatory comment about me, or some condescending shit to imply that I’m stupid. It drives me insane. IN-SANE.
