Somebody's Got a Case of the Mondays

Why do people get angrier with age? Today I felt like I was in my 70s. I cursed construction that hasn't even started and to be honest with you, it ruined my whole morning. I saw that they are starting a road widening project on the only main road that runs by my house. Hooray for more lanes, boo for two or more years of construction hell. I am so sick of construction. One would think that if they were doing work on a road...widening it for instance, that they would widen the whole road and not a three mile section. Planning ahead apparently was not in the cards. Ahhhhh!!!! Curse you construction, curse you. Ok, done with that.

How come if you are the one that answers the phone, everything is suddenly your fault? Some jackass has to take everything that is bothering him in his shitty ass life and somehow turn it around and lay it on you. Oh, your kid needs braces, your wife fell off a roof and you're semi quadrapalegic...yep definitely my fault. Should I write the check out to the bank of who gives a shit? These are things that people have actually told me over the phone. What do you say to that...and how can someone be semi-quadrapalegic, wouldn't that just be parapelegic? Am I even spelling it right? What do you respond to that? I'm sorry for you, while dancing around on a ladder showing your perfectly straight teeth to anyone and everyone who looks your way. Why is that person dancing on a ladder? I don't know, but they sure to have nice teeth. Thank you.

I guess my beef is that some people feel it necessary to tell you their life stories in order to get something out of it. First of all, never tell the person who answers the phone, they have absolutely no say in the matter, secondly, you shouldn't be telling complete strangers intimate details of your life and finally, how does one know you're not lying? I'm not going to jump through the phone to inspect your daughter's disfigured teeth. (It would be cool to jump through phones though.) Get to the damn point and let me transfer you to someone who cares.
Jeez, I really do have a case of the Mondays. I hope that this goes away by tomorrow. I sound like a complete asshole. Eh!
