Cell Phones and the Deli-Not a Good Mix

I work at PathMark Grocery Store in the Deli and i have come across some of the weirdest and craziest people ever since i have worked in the deli. The one thing that pisses me off the most is when people come up to the deli and they are talking on their cell phones, that is something that should not be allowed because people become even more retarded. People at the deli are already ignorant to the workers  but when they are on their cell phones they are even worse they ignore us half the time and when you say miss/sir is there anything else and they totally ignore is really rude. What pisses me off the most happened to me last night at work; it was me and two other guys were waiting on this really long lime and there was three ladies in line talking on their phones. When the one guy said who is next no one answered, he said who is next again and still no one answered and for the third time he said who is next and some lady in the back of the line said I'm next. The two ladies who were talking on their phones got pissed and said she was next and i got to defend the guy by saying that ma'am he said who was next three times and no one answered, she goes on to say that i don't care i was next and now i want to be waited on and get me some cheese. This whole time I'm waiting on somebody, i say mis you are going to have to wait but she said i was next now i need to be waited on and get me some cheese and in the back some lady say you guys need numbers. I say that miss the number machine has been broken for 7 months now, and the lady i was arguing with before said i agree but i was here last week and you guys had numbers but I told the lady that i have been working here almost 2 years and we haven't had numbers in like 7 months so could you calm down, and she says i don't care just get me some cheese. Why do people have to be assholes when they come to the deli, can't you guys just be nice for once, and by the way NO CELL PHONES ALLOWED!!!!!!!

When it comes to snow people are jackasses

I have noticed over the last few weeks that yes we have been getting a lot of snowand people seem to believe that the snow gives them an invitation to act like a bunch of jackasses. I would b driving down a paritially plower road and someone decides o let me double park in the middle of the road block the street so no one can get by and don't move because of the snow. People also feel the need to put their living room furniture outside to save a parking spot in the snow, that is just really stupid like i had spent 20 minutes before trying to find a spot down near my sisters house in university city because all the people use their furniture to save spots and it is annoying as shit and i getting pissed and I;m about to just get out of my car and move the chair, bucket, hamper, small couch etc....I was driving home yesterday after picking my dad up from the frankford terminal and i was trying to make the turn to get into my driveway and some jackass decided to bouble park in the middle of the street that was only plowed to be like one and a half lanes instead of 2 lanes so i tried to squeak by i almost did but my tiers slipped and i almost hit is car. So I'm just stopped there for a bit and this guy comes by and is talking on his cell phone and it is clearly his truck now but he continues to stay there and talk on his phone and ignorring the fact that I am liek 2 inches from his truck so my dad got out of the car to yell at him to move the car, the man eventually moved his truck but the look he gave us was like we were interrupting him. Also, when hit snows people become THE worst pedestrians you will ever see, they never know where to walk, ignorant as shit and decided to walk in the middle of the street and they get pissed when we honk at them to move over. Why do people get the impression that snow equals an invitation to act liek a fucking retard???

My Best Friend

My best friend is someone i have know since i was like 8 or 9 years old, and I'm like 20 years old now so that is a logn time. My best friend's name is Meg and yes my best friend is a girl, i do have some guy friends that I would call best friends but i have not know one single longer than Meg. We met at a swim club that we both I belong to, her parents took control of the snack bar place and that's how she in essence joined the club. I started to notice her more and more and eventually we got to talking and messing around like young kids do and we have been friends ever since that occurred. There is a lot that would describe Meg, but let me say this Meg and I have dated before and we decided that we shouldn't date anymore and that experience has probably made our friendship even stronger. She is 2 years younger than Iam so she is a senior in high school now but that doesn't matter to me because she is the best. Meg has a personality that gets her through everyday life with her head up high, she tells things like thay are and doesn't sugar coat things. I guess what makes keeps telling myself that she is my best friend is that we are so close we talk a lot and trust each other with a lot of stuff and also our families are really close also so that helps a lot. Meg trys to stay happy when she can and she makes me happy every time we hangout our we just see eachother but that doesn't mean we don't argue or fight. We have fought and argue many times before but what makes her special is her extreme ability to forgive and forget, i may have wronged her in the past but my deication to our friendship and her gracious personality i have been able to try to keep up our friendship. One thing i didn't realize was how much she truly meant to me, I found that out when she went away to national guard boot camp in North Carolina . When she was away I had missed her a lot and missed her company(like spending time 2gether, texting, talking or just driving around) before she had left i took those things for granted; but  I don't do that anymore because i would never want to lose her as a friend.

Boy Scouts in Philadelphia?

I am an avid member and leader of the Boy Scouts of America and an Eagle Scout myself and have been involved in scouting since i was in the first grade. Since i have been involved for soo long in scouting a certain topic had really began to get me pissed. Somewhere about two years  ago the city of Philadelphia was trying to change a certain rule in Boy Scouts which had been in place for a long time. That rule was that no gays were allowed and also no openly gay leaders were also allowed, basically a don't ask don't tell type of ordeal. The city wanted to change that rule because they felt it was discrimination, and they city tried to do that by saying they either had to leave their office on race street in center city or move their office to the main office in Valley Forge. That was beginning to piss many people off including myself, because the city is on this whole ordeal about going anti-discriminatory, so  they want to throw a treasured organization's office inorder to supposedly make things better for the organization and for the city. They are 100 percent wrong, for the boy scouts based in Philadelphia to change that there would have to be some kind of massive nationwide council just to consider the change but I know and what the city eventually realized through years of court hears will never happen. I'm glad the city lost this case because they don't deserve to be screwing with something as important as the Boy Scouts, and also the Boy Scouts are a pretty powerful organization so they will never lose a fight like the one they just won.
