My morning.....

Stopped by the local McD's across from my workplace to get a morning diet coke and one of my occasional treats (Bacon, Egg, and Cheese biscuit)

While waiting for my order, I noticed an LA Times on the order counter and started looking at the headlines. Didn't touch the paper at all.

Older man scurries up and yells "stay the hell away from my paper! stay the hell away from my paper!", grabs the paper off the counter, and scurries off screaming "Get your own damn paper, you hear me? Get your own goddamn paper!". I try to say "Sorry, was only looking at the headlines", but he's continues yelling at me "Get your own damn paper!!" I briefly debate giving him a nickle as a readers fee, but decide against it, since I don't know what the man's problem is.

He goes to sit down, next to the drink station. I get my order, put the tray down at a table, and go to get my diet coke.

He bolts out of his chair and dashes into the mini-mart attached to the McD's, screaming "You stay away from me, you hear me! You stay the hell away from me!". I look at him and quietly say "I am just going to get my drink". He pays no attention as he continues screaming at me from the safety of the mini-mart.

I go sit down, start to eat, and he sits back down at his chair and starts waving and flipping me off from across the restaurant. A couple people near me are commenting on his behaviour. I finally get up, bring my tray to the counter, and politely ask that the rest of my order be packed to go, as I don't trust the man's behaviour anymore. The manager thanks me and packs the order, refilling my diet coke in the process. I leave, the man still flipping me off and screaming "Stay away from me! You better stay the goddamn hell away from me! I'll call the cops if you come near me again!!!".

I find out when I get into the office that she included a 2nd bacon egg and cheese biscuit and a hash brown, along with a $5.00 gift card in the bag.

Wow.

Let's hope things get better.

Dog Breeders Issue Massive Recall Of '07 Pugs (The Onion - yes, I know it's parody)

"Citing centuries of quality- control issues that have resulted in chronic unreliability, cascading system failures, and even total unit shutdown, the American Pug Breeders Association announced a recall Monday of all pugs produced between February 2006 and the present day.

"We apologize wholeheartedly to any and all owners of the 2007 pug," APBA director Betty McAndrews said at a press conference, standing before a table where 10 defective pugs were displayed. "While pug owners are accustomed to dog malfunction, the latest animals are prone to more problems than just the usual joint failures, overheating, seizures, chronic respiratory defects, and inability to breed without assistance. The latest model pug is simply not in any way a viable dog."

According to the APBA's online recall notice, pugs produced in the specified period are at "moderate to high risk" for convulsive respiratory failure, soft palate suppuration, corneal ulcers leading to sudden deliquescence of the eyeballs, catastrophic lung collapse, ingrown ribs, diabetes, patellar luxation, encephalitis, Lou Gehrig's pug's disease, impacted hips, neck dysplasia, tracheal fissures, morbid obesity, cranial arthritis, and leakage of the anal sacs. In addition, due to strong allergic reactions to almost all medications, 97 percent of pugs are untreatable."
