Rant- The All Town Garage Sale...

I had planned on waiting a little bit to do a rant. You know, let the idea that I had revamped my blog set in with people. But, after venturing out, surgical hole and all, into the depths of destruction today to see if I could visit a few (and I do mean a VERY FEW) garage sales to come up with some cheap finds... It was all too clear to me that the 'All Town Garage Sale' deserves to be it's own rant topic. Now don't get me wrong. I enjoy the All Town Garage Sales as much as anyone. Who else wouldn't like cheap goods at seemingly low prices? All on one weekday and weekend? Located in ONE TOWN!? Shit. Sign me up. But holy hell guys. Not only do they attract us- the fairly normal people- but unfortunately they attract the moronic too. In which case, I have to point out again, what we ALL are thinking...and what some are too afraid to say. So- Here you have it: 1.) In general, I would caution you against parking your vehicle on a highway. Commonly, highways are NO PARKING ZONES. Especially, if they are a MAIN FREAKING HIGHWAY- Like Route 24 is.... And... Especially on a day like today... Parking your vehicle on an extremely BUSY highway would probably be an, I don't know, BAD idea. Think I'm joking? Ohhhh no my friend. I saw this little gem TWO TIMES today. 2.) Blocking someone's driveway when there isn't a garage sale going on is an annoyance. Wait. Let me restart. Blocking someone's driveway, who isn't even HAVING the damn garage sale, is fucking rude. I went to mom's house to drop something off. Came out and there was a geezer getting out of her car. Snail's pace. Parked at the end of our driveway. It was like playing 'Mario Cart' getting out. I almost HOPED to clip her fucking car. I would have loved to be outside of my own body and see how THAT CONVERSATION would have gone *side grin* 3.) Putting a garage sale together is hard work. I've done it. It blows, I won't lie. However- don't freaking list your garage sale in the Women's Club Map and then NOT HAVE ONE. I think I searched out at least 3...drove down the street... Nope. No sale. What the fuck? Don't go to the trouble of listing it if you're not sure you're having it. You wasted the Women's Club's time in listing it in the map...And my damn time in coming to find your non-existent ass. Arg. 4.) Also concerning the map and listings- Don't put shit on there like 'all clothes 25 cents' and then list everything for $4 or $5. Garage sale items over $2 are stupid. Or 'Children's clothes Newborn to 5T' and then I get there...and you have like, ONE pair of pants with fucking holes in the knees in 3T. Classy. Liars don't win people. And I don't appreciate it...Plus. Throw out the shitty clothes. No one wants them. 5.) Don't stare people down when they come to your sale. I felt like I had to wait until the person was busy and then make a swift exit out the back. 6.) Before I went home, I ran into...a pharmacy. It was busy as hell. As usual. And I just want to say. I won't feel bad if I back up into someone swinging around that fucking drive-in. A.) Slow the fuck down. B.) If you can use your God Damn legs- WALK INTO THE BUILDING AND GET YOUR MEDICATION. C.) The only people who need to be using a drive-up for these specific items are old people who can't walk and people who don't want to drag their kids inside. I hope you feel lazy if you use it. I really do. And I am thinking bad thoughts about you too. I'm sure there's WAY more things that ran through my mind. But I was so fired up that all I wanted to do was get home. As fast as I could. Before I was accused of vehicular manslaughter-like thoughts.
