I HATE it when people bust out that trite c**p. You never know what's going on in a stranger's life, so quit the commentary
It is, though. People have a certain base level of happiness we always return to no matter what kind of life changing happy or painful event we go through. So most of our lives, yeah, we'll be just ok.
You mean you do. Plenty of people really aren't like that.

Damn, this reminded me I should drink mine! ;) Well, I perfectly understand the customer, I also hate others giving me advices but come on, man, not so rude, poor cashier is bored to death and just wanted to be friendly!
I really hate these attempts at "conversation" when I'm checking out in the supermarket. I used to be a cashier, so I understand being polite and friendly like "how are you today?" Response: "fine!" - transaction over or, "did you find everything you need?" Yes. Conversation over. but to be asked, "how has your day been so far?" - I mean, really! What if I just found out my mother is dying? Or that my son needs brain surgery? Or that my subordinate is stealing money? Yes, these situations have occurred in my life. And I don't particularly feel like sharing them, or the reasons that they make me feel terrible - with a cashier, thank you!
that's why you lie and say fine and the conversation would then end. They're not asking the question because they actually want the answer so just provide the answer they expect and move on

Good on that customer for snapping back ... stupid cashier, shut up and scan that coconut water!
Cashier: “and I thought you might be a civilized person but I see you’re from america”
That just strikes me as being unnecessarily mean, I’m all for being necessarily mean to bastards who seriously deserve it, but not this, this is like kicking a puppy
Probably the one day the cashier plucks up the courage to show some 'personality', get's shot down, loses confidence, goes back into shell.
Cashier discretely turns around, hocks up a loogie, spits in coconuts water, turns back around and... "Here you go sir, your coconut water. Enjoy your day!"
Trust me, a tall man isn't always cool to go out with.. My sister's ex is 6'4 and he's a bastard
Mature kid? They certainly know how to give a good excuse whether it's true or not!
Dad to wife later that evening : "You know honey, or son is not bisexual, they call that unisex nowadays."
Luna Lovegood type of client! I would've done something like that if my language had such word similarities.
With one hundred degree weather on a daily basis? Yes. I approve of this.
In most cases this is accurate. If you want to fix an exact hour, try with:" See you in 6 minutes". It works for me. ;)
Is it weird that I'm not surprised by this? I used to live in LA though, ut that was 5 years ago.
I can't stand that type of moaning (ice cream in public). It's disgusting and rude.
Haha! I like how she feels the need to specify that it's a chia seed, instead of just saying, "there something caught in my throat."
Man, i suck at parallel parking my car and i have a rear-view camera. I should probably practice or something...
This is just immature and obnoxious. Whether he says it to her or she says it to him, it's dumb. Even as a joke, it's just not funny.
I wish this is something I could get away with saying as a manager! XD
So you're more of "the experience without the commitment" kind of person.
You need to find out what kind of person they are from the start... makes sense to me!
That's just over-confidence. They will find themselves fools in the end.
This s**t will stay with the child forever. Some people just aren't fit to be parents.
And this is the reason why I despise the posers that show up and ruin our beautiful valley for 2 weekends in April. Stay in LA, we don't want you here!!!!!
Why isn't it normal to make your own coffee like we do in the Netherlands?
I never got the thing with tall men sex appeal. Can you really sleep with someone because he's tall? I must be a little too romantic or selective. Even "just for sex", I would need someone that I like a bit, not someone "horrible"....
Thrifting is a very good trend that has now appeared, don't feel ashamed to show a great bargain off!
I thought for a second it said "hates themselves" and I'm still not sure if my original reading was technically wrong.
Dried mango is actually quite yummy... not as healthy as y'all think tho
FOMO means "Fear of Missing Out". I used Urban Dictionary so you didn't have to.
And "do what makes you the most money" is great advice for spending your life bitter and depressed.
Oh how I miss those days. I thought a driver's license was magical. Now it means I have fewer excuses to be late.
I have married friends that did this...they're on kid number two lol
If you ever think about getting a dog versus getting a PURSE, don't get a dog. You're not good enough for a pet.
I'm Canadian, but have family that live in the L.A. area. I don't know what streets I've been on before, but the driving is INSANE. It's like nobody cares what happens to anyone else, they're just playing fast and loose with the rules so they can get to their destination ASAP. It was the least comfortable I had ever been in a vehicle.
"Bourgois" specifically means capitalist... ie upper class! "Petit bourgois" means "middle class", but not exactly, because for some reason "middle class" in America is more often used to refer to working class people who have better jobs than most.
I live in the Coachella Valley. The people who show up for StageCoach are actual good people. The things that show up for "Coachella" (it's CoachellaFest btw, stupid posers) are disgusting cretins.
Well, those three characteristics seem to describe every single big city on the planet.
Load More Replies...I think I want to go to LA and make stupid people cry, really knock the pretentious out of them.
It's been tried. A zillion times. Not. Gonna. Happen.
Load More Replies...I've read it all. I'm astonished. Is this representative for LA? Are people in LA so shallow, pretentious and dumb?
I've lived in LA my entire life and find that while you do have your fair share of shallow, pretentious, and dumb people, there are many kind souls as well. These people mentioned are those extremely rich white people who have recently been moving here.
Load More Replies...They were either all made up, in which case many were quite funny, or they were real, revealing people in LA to be as shallow as p**s on a plate
Nice photo of ‘barista’ Jimmy Carr, British-Irish comedian and host of The Big Fat Quiz of Everything on the BBC.
I once overhear some lady in a coffee shop say to the person she were sitting with: "If you leave me, I will hate f**k your cat."
Then why did you take the time to come here and comment? XD
