Here is the continuation of my list.
#3 – Typing “Prolly”: It just makes you look bad. It makes me wonder if you really think that’s a word and the right way to spell “probably”. I’m no spelling genius, but “probably” is such a basic word it scares me to think that there are people out there who really don’t know that “prolly” is not real.
#2 – Crocs: This will probably be the most unpopular opinion of the five. I fucking hate these things. They’re rubber shoes with a closed toe, yet I see people all summer wearing them with no socks. Sweaty toes just sitting there in unventilated rubber. That’s absolutely disgusting.
They don’t look good. They DON’T LOOK GOOD. I also see people wearing them in the winter with their jeans and socks. People wear them to the workplace. Not people who work at a Podiatrist’s office, Sea World or a public pool, but people who work in business offices. I can’t even begin to understand what makes someone who works in a business office wake up and say, “I think it’s a good idea to wear rubber clogs with holes in them to work today. It will help me earn the respect of my peers”. Let me tell you something people. It doesn’t help you earn anyone’s respect to wear Crocs anywhere if you’re over 10 years old.
I was venting about Crocs to a friend one day when she said to me, “Well I like them on little kids and they save lives. A kid was saved because there was an electrical wire that hit a pool and he was standing in the water next to it. He didn’t get electrocuted because he was wearing them and they’re rubber.” Ok, this was a freak accident and the story was most likely promoted by the company who manufactures Crocs. (I’ll get to parents who buy into fear mongering from every little freak accident some other day.) “Crocs save lives”, is a bit much of a statement and was so ridiculous I wanted to set myself on fire when it came out of my dear friend’s mouth.
Crocs do not generally “save lives”. Crocs do not look good with ANY attire. Please let’s move on from this trend.
#1 – Cocaine: For the first 27 years of my life (growing up in Los Angeles), I was relatively indifferent to cocaine. Yes, there was always a run in with it here in my teens and early 20’s as I would encounter others who used it. I realized there were coke addicts and knew some of them but it was sporadic. It wasn’t all over the place. I had lots of wild friends and lots of wild times but for the most part it was booze and pot. When I was 27 I moved to a small-town-ish community in Central NY and quickly realized this has to be the cocaine capitol of the United States.
Let me tell you something. I have a problem in general with people who are all mouth and no ears who aren’t on drugs. These are the people who talk, talk, talk and never listen to a word you say and rarely let you finish sentences. It's incredible irritating. I moved here and began to notice that it seemed to be a trend in this area to be this way. I thought, “Ok, I guess people really are just rude in general on the East Coast”. Then my boyfriend (now husband) clued me in. Everyone’s on cocaine. It’s true. Most of the people he grew up with were still using cocaine on a regular basis in their 30’s and now, in their 40’s, still are. I began talking to nurses and paralegals who filled me in that most of our local doctors and lawyers are habitual cocaine abusers. Then I just began to see proof and know this wasn’t just gossip.
It’s deplorable. It seems like everywhere I look, people who have spouses to care for, houses to pay for and children to raise can’t spend Halloween with their kids or Christmas Eve with their families without using this crap. I told my mom about all this one day and she goes ,“Cocaine? Isn’t that like an 80’s drug?”. Yes mom, it IS an 80’s drug which makes this all the more pathetic. These are people in their 40’s with families and responsibilities who are clearly so unhappy with who they are they are trying to hold on to who they were when they were 17 (why they used cocaine so much when they were 17 is another vicious issue to tackle).
I know a few of them who are so incredibly stupid they don’t understand why we don’t hang out with them. Um, you don’t listen, you try to give you advice I never asked for when you’re no one who should be giving advice to ANYONE, you don’t respect my personal space when you speak to me , you’re completely paranoid and all of this makes you unbearable to be around. Oh, and usually you’re bitching that you don’t have any money.
I hate this shit and honestly think the only way it will die down is when this generation of coke heads lays down and dies.
Until then, stay the hell away from me.
