Overthrow the bourgeoisie!

The liquor store was interesting Sunday afternoon. I had a delivery that day to a wealthy couple that thought that a party that they were hosting was on the 19th, but was actually for this Sunday. How do you forget something like that? I can understand it if they forgot the date to a party that they were attending. But hosting??? So they called in a panic around 3 to get them 9 whites 3 reds and 2 six-packs of Sam for their party starting at 5. They asked it to be chilled. So, we pulled together their order, chilled the whites, and got it to their condo in 45 minutes. Instead of being grateful and thanking us for getting the order to them in such short notice, they asked if we had chilled the wine. Now, I support capitalism. If you worked hard and you're rich, by all means, take the fruits of your work. But you should treat deserving people around you with courtesy, respect, and decency. Oh, and I got a measly $3 tip for a $145 order. That kind of crap gave me a sudden urge to overthrow the bourgeoisie before I collected myself. I'm thinking we should institute a gradient mandatory surcharge on all deliveries, though. A $3 tip is just ridiculous. Either that, or I've been tipping my food delivery guys an exorbitant amount.

Oh, and I almost ran over this woman on the way back from that delivery. I was driving in the right hand lane to make a right turn, when I saw a woman get out of her car. I gave her some berth so she could get out comfortably. Amazingly, instead of just getting out of her car and moving to the sidewalk, she then stepped out even more into the lane, apparently to look down the street! I had to swerve out of the way to avoid hitting her. Some people are just so oblivious.
