Oh, I’m pissed.

I woke up thinking it was a good day but it turned into a very annoying, very bad day.  The main trigger for the bad mood was dealings with Citibank.

My bank account vanished.  That’s to say I logged into my account and there was no account there.  Weird, no?  As a result, I head over to a Citibank branch and speak to a teller and here is the breakdown.

There was a fear that there was fraudulent activity on my account so Citibank froze my account and removed all public access to the account. They didn’t call me, they didn’t attempt to contact me in any way, they just shut the account down.  I could not gain access via the web or via my debit card at a cash machine. 

Turns out there was no fraudulent activity (yay!) so they re-activated my account.  Problem being my FUNDS were not released.  My account was unfrozen but the money was not available.  The branch attempted to have the funds released but was unsuccessful in their attempt.  The theory was that it would take one business day to release the money back into my account and the funds should be available tomorrow.

Since it’s not yet tomorrow and I don’t have my time machine available at this very moment, I don’t know if this is actually the case.  Will my money be available, will I not?  Will I have to continue on with this headache well into next week and, as a result, will I be late in paying some bill because Citibank won’t allow me access to my money?

The teller I was dealing with was very helpful but I still want my money, damn it.

Second…

I go in for a haircut and as for an half-inch off and to leave the back longer as I tend to have a bit of a cowlick.  Wouldn’t you know it, the damn stylist goes and takes off more than I want AND cuts the crown uber short.

Immediately I say “you’re cutting too short” but she continues.  Granted, I was committed to the cut the second she took off more than I wanted.  Really, what could I do at that point.

After voicing my displeasure a few times her behavior didn’t change. I was stuck.  What really gets me is the question she asks at the end: “How do you like it?”

I don’t, you dumb ass.  I can feel the hair sticking up on the crown of my head and it’s about two inches shorter than I asked for.

For the first time in my life I didn’t tip.

Damn it, I just pissed today.

Here is another gem from the Chicago Cubs’ anti-hero, Milton Bradley:

Bradley, known for emotional outbursts throughout his career, said what he’s gone through is not new and is not surprising.

“It’s nothing that just started when Milton Bradley came here,” he said.

So does he regret signing with the Cubs, who are his seventh major league team?

“I don’t regret anything,” he said. “I regret that there are idiots in the world, that’s what I regret.”

I’d start off by saying that people who speak about themselves in the third person qualify as idiots.  That said, Bradley does not seem to understand that saying something along the lines of “I regret that there are idiots in the world” while having a discussion about how fans treat his is akin to Chicago Cub supporters idiots.

Classy move, Milton.

I suspect he will not be on the roster in 2010 even if it means the team needs to eat his entire salary.

The dog once known for the “Yo Quiero” ads is now a goner.   Yea, I don’t care.  However, as I was reading this story about the dog I realized that I was reading an obituary written as if the dog was a person.

The “mostly-retired” canine also appeared in the film “Legally Blonde 2,” starring as Bruiser’s mom. In addition, she appeared in a commercial for the ‘90s edition of Trivial Pursuit.

When she wasn’t starring in films and commercials, Gidget enjoyed taking hikes, sunning her fur and sleeping for 23 hours, her trainer Sue Chipperton told People.

Come on, people!  She enjoyed “taking hikes”? Hikes? You have no clue if this thing liked “taking hikes” or licking her ass.  This was a dog.

Some people take things was too seriously.

I find the humor in the whole situation to be very… hell, the best comedy writers couldn’t have come up with a story like this:

A TAIWAN carpenter bought a porn DVD only to find secretly taped motel footage of his wife having sex with his friend, whom the husband later stabbed. The husband, identified only by his surname Lee, discovered the illicit sex on the DVD in 2002.

I will safely assume the husband didn’t know that his wife was involved in some “extra” activity.

Let’s go on…

Lee, who lives in Taoyuan County near Taipei, divorced his wife after viewing the DVD. His friend, a butcher, fled their village.

In August 2008, Lee spotted the butcher in Chungli City, returned with a knife and stabbed his former friend in the thigh.

So he get’s a divorce from his wife (good for him) and the other gentleman decides to skip town. (good idea on his part) When Mr. Lee happens to run into the friend who decided to have fun with Mr. Lee’s wife, Mr. Lee attacks him.

Poor choice on Lee’s part…

The butcher sued Lee for causing bodily harm. Lee sought but was unable to countersue the butcher for adultery, because of a five-year statute of limitations.

Prosecutors urged the men to settle the case out of court, but they refused.

With the failure to resolve the case, Lee was indicted on Tuesday on a charge of causing bodily harm to another person, the Liberty Times reported.

Really, can it get any better?

• Man finds out wife is cheating with best friend
• Man divorces wife
• Man physically confronts the individual who was involved with the affair
• Man who was cheated on ends up being sued

I guess Mr. Lee with think twice before attacking someone next time.

Who thought it would be a good idea for the Air Force to have a 747 and two F-16s buzz New York city?  Now, I can say to myself that I am a bit of an emotional cripple.  I understand that I don’t always look at things from an emotional standpoint – usually more so when I’m tired – but this decision was pure dumbass in motion.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Wednesday a photo-op featuring the presidential jet flying over the Manhattan skyline was as “stupid a thing to do as one could dream up.”

Here, here!  For once I agree with something that has come out of this man’s mouth.

White House Military Office Director Louis Caldera accepted responsibility and apologized late Monday for permitting the exercise that infuriated New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who had not been alerted to the flyover.

Apologized?

He Apologized!?!

You apologize when you are rude to someone in the office, you apologize when you break something that isn’t yours, you apologize for neglecting a duty.  When you scare the ever living sh*t out of an entire city, one that is already emotionally scarred due events that closely resembled this right before planes flew into your city, you don’t apologize.  You resign.

Again, YOU RESIGN.

This is, in my view, akin to a CEO missing quarterly numbers by a billion dollars or a Director of Race relations making racist comments.  They’ve shown gross neglect in their duty and end up on street with the public “saying don’t dent my door as it hits your ass on the way out.”

Hell, a Fox News Reporter was fired recently for reviewing a pirated copy of a new movie… and he does not even come close to the level of responsibility MOD Louis Caldera does.  I don’t believe Caldera’s actions were intended to be harmful, I think it was just poor decision making. Yes that gets you fired, too.

The level of stupidity, or the lack of common sense, in this world is shocking to me.

Now, this is my type of place. Not because of the “nurses” but because this guy is pushing the limit and isn’t afraid to offend. If you even *think* these women are nurses you have other problems you should address.

What I really find enjoyable about this is that I know 3 nurses – professional nurses – that have “naughty nurse” outfits they’ve used with the husbands.

Seriously, people… come on now.

I took a look at this over lunch yesterday, some real “winner” on this list…

Take a look (via thesmokinggun.com)

They were ok, up until I found this one…. and make sure you read the back story on it!

Oh, and another thing… is this picture real?

If so, Tyson porked out BIG TIME.

Got this one in email and I don’t even know where to begin…seriously.

I just got this one in email…  Take a look at this picture and tell me what could go wrong.

From nwsource….

Dave Anthony toasts his achievement after driving his truck on top of a Kent house he was demolishing. Anthony said “it was a hell of a way to kick off the Memorial Day weekend.”

You would think that this would be seen in the South, but no.  (sorry, couldn’t resist) You’ll love the picture.

Clicky, clicky.
