Hi ho! It's been a while since I've posted anything due to work and all, but it is now October and the snowbirds from upper New York, New Jersey, and other New England states are back. I can state many reasons how I know this, but I think I'll keep it brief.
1. At the post office, it is more crowded there than ever. For some reason, even in the evening hours when they've closed, the seas of blue-haired people go there in droves, like it's a family outing or something. And, even when the place is closed, they have arguments about the price of stamps, shipping charges, etc, while talking to......nobody!
2. The public library. I go there much of the time to get books for my kids, yet you always see bedlam there. Much of the time, it's because a new book came out and people actually fight each other to get that last copy. Better yet, the other day when I was there, I had checked out and as I left, this old woman butts ahead of the guy behind me, complaining about how the book she reserved was not in and how dare it not be! Never mind about that. Don't lines and "it's not your turn yet" mean anything?
3. At the local Subway, since I guess they even have senior discounts there. These two women came in behind me, bitching about anything and everything to do with Florida. "It's too hot here" or "The traffic is something else" or "Why is everything so expensive here?" Well, the last two would not occur if these people stayed where they came from, but I digress. In any case, the women ordered foot long sandwiches, but ordered the lady to "scoop out" the bread first. I think this is why things have become expensive. When you scoop out the bread, you can add more goodies to your sandwich, and this drives up the cost of everything we eat!
4. At McDonald's, which I thought was a place too good for these people, this lady was complaining about the $2.99 combo breakfast, because with tax it came to $3.18. "Your menu says $2.99 and nothing about tax!" Yet, this woman drove up in her expensive car and was dressed like she was living at the Breakers Hotel. She even turned to me and said, "You don't think that's fair, do you?" I ignored her being I was not about to get in the middle of that altercation.
More to come, I'm sure.
