Asshole Of The Day -- This Gypsy Bus Driver

So the ride in this morning is ripe with assholes but the minute I walked on to the bus it started! I parked my car, grabbed my things and before I knew one of the little busses (not a short bus) was turning he corner on blvd east. He stops and picks up three other guys and me.  I allow them to I first because they have been waiting longer.  Now these bus drivers are usually hit or miss and very competitive with other guys who drive these little buses.  I've seen full blown arguments where two buses blocked the road to get their point across with complete disregard to other drivers; it's crazy.

Anyway,  As I'm walk on to the bus, the guy closes the door as I'm walking in and starts driving. The only problem is my right leg is on the first step and my left leg was still in the air and now stuck in the door!  I can laugh now but I'm not going to lie I definitely panicked and shouted then showed him the problem to which he opened the door and then just kept on like it was nothing.

Listen, I get the fact that because I try my hardest not to ride NJ transit buses like my father always encouraged me to for the mere fact that is anything happened "that's who has insurance, that I have to deal with whatever happens.  I admit most of the times they are funny, especially when you're a spectator at funny events but not when you're the event.  If all else I can chalk it up to the guy in such a rush to get everyone to work on time, but what does it matter to me, I'm already late plus that was my running leg-

Cheers to this asshole!

Asshole(s) of the Day: Ugly-Hearted Lunchers

Today's Asshole(s) of the day wasn't funny at all; These girls are the epitome of assholes.

I went to meet a friend for lunch today in the city with a good friend and after leaving a dodgy place with high ratings, we ended up at Havana Central.  We were sat immediately and ordered our drinks then our  food and shot the shit for awhile.

I want to point out from the get go that I notice everything and hear everything usually within a 10-12 foot radial around me at all times.  It's nothing special, but I think people are too busy or consumed to be cognizant these days.

While they were serving us, they sat these classy ladies next to us.  To get into her seat the Latin girl said, excuse me, and took her seat.  Her friend followed. As they did, my friend was telling me about a girl he had just gone on a date with, the girl in the forefront looked over, which caught my attention from the corner of my eye.  She leaned over to her friend and said, "This guy's talking about a girl he went on a date with."  Her friend replied, "I'm sure there wasn't a second one."  

I heard it and immediately I wanted to say something; even though my friend didn't hear, I was STEWING.  I sat quietly and calmly still talking with my friend but I quickly began to think about how I would let them know they suck.  One for walking into our conversation and then passing judgement.  Then I thought, "better yet I'll ask to take their picture before we go and when they ask why, I'd tell them that I have a blog called Asshole of the Day."   By the time I'm done eating though, I would have been so over it.  So I put my fork down and picked up my camera.  I pointed it in their direction while I was waiting for the camera app to open.  I purposefully did so hoping they would notice.  And then I took a picture with the flash on.

I continued my conversation and was never asked.

Look, I'm all about funny jokes or conversations at the expense of someone you see be it what they are wearing or something they do or say, please we ALL do it.  It could be a chuckle or a flat out laugh but never so flat out mean or rude.  And that's the rule; no one gets hurt.  If anyone hears, you failed.

Asshole of the Day: The "Look at Me!" Asshole

OK,  This isn't my asshole; my friend Tony sent this to me so he gets credit where credit is due.
Alright so look at this asshole, lol.  You seem to see them everywhere you go, usually at sporting or entertainment event:
When did she ever wear this?

The "look at me," asshole.

We'd all like some attention right? But there's a right and wrong way to do it.  This guy, in my opinion did it wrong.  Those shoes could have been a couple of inches shorter maybe, or he could have gone for the smiling "I'm nice and funny approach,"  but he decided to go with, "I'm the best fan, and I'm better than you approach."

When would this ever go right?!?  Especially in front of hundreds of people who are just WAITING for you to fall, cause that's human nature.  Not to mention his friend, who now has to lug him around clutched to her hand with his kung-fu grip.  Like, what if there's a fire?  Or you have to run to the front row?  Not cool.  Anyhow, thank this guy for a nice laugh.

The fun starts at :42
