3 funny things

So, en route to work I saw a billboard, seems to be part of a city-wide (and nation wide?) campaign to get people of color to feed their children fruits and vegetables. It has a picture of a little girl with a piece of kiwi or something and the caption is "If you feed me fruits, I'll love you bunches!" or something like that. And, being a person of color myself, and knowing how a lot of people of color who feed their kids like KFC, and tacos and shit, I'm like, seriously? We need a billboard with a picture of some fat kids with chicken in the hands that says: "Get real people, you're digging your kids graves!" Something to get their attention!

Anyway, so then I park my car and get out and walk over to the cross walk. And, being the somewhat of an intelligent life form that I categorize myself as, I push the cross walk button. And then, a guy, who saw me get out of my car a few seconds earlier comes over to the cross walk too, and he pushes the button 6 times! I'm not kidding. He might as well have said to me: you didn't push it right! or you're an idiot and I assume you forgot to push the button!

Not that pushing the button makes the light change quicker anyway. . .

Finally, my boss, sitting right beside me mind you, is reading an article about a HOMELESS guy who found 3,300 dollars on the street. Did I mention that he was HOMELESS? And he turned in the money, apparently because he "didn't earn it, and wanted to do the right thing". And I'm like, Dude, God does you a solid and leaves 3 grand for you to FIND ON THE STREET, and you turn it in? Come on. You're HOMELESS. Go buy yourself a house or a fifth. And then, the kid whose backpack it was gives the guy a reward (cash, undisclosed amount), and takes the rest of the money to buy a car. Because what we really need is another homeless person, and one more smog producing car. And MY BOSS had the nerve to scold ME for being dishonest (because of my REACTION). I mean come on, if I wasn't homeless I'd turn the money in, but if I was sleeping on the street and having cars fume on my bed, yeah, I'd get myself a fucking bed.

Sorry for the capital letters and swear words, that is just how upset I was for being called dishonest. Sheesh.
