How have you made it this far in life?

I am astounded everyday at the kind of people I interact with.
Take yesterday for example...

I go to work, no problems there. Now when I leave work, I have to run to a couple stores to grab some things before I go on vacation.

So...I'm walking down Queen St with Mitch. I've been on hold with the bank for I don't know, 15 minutes maybe? Finally I get through to them. So I'm talking with the guy on the phone and this lady walks up:
Her: EXcuuuse Me!
Me: *points to phone and shakes head*
Keep in mind please that Mitch is beside me, looking at her, available to chat if need be.
Her: NO, EXCUSE ME!
Me: LADY, I'm ON the phone...
She huffed and puffed and walked away.

Now she for sure had nothing to say to me or to ask me for that matter that she couldn't of asked Mitch or the fifty or so other people in the street.

Whatever. I was super irritated but still had lots of stuff to do and less time to do it in.

Now I'm in Best Buy. I'm picking up a laptop for my mom. I've researched everything and all I am asking is the difference between the two computers that I've narrowed it down to.

Motherfuckin' guy just reiterates the same specs that I already told him. Not only that he walks away in the middle of a sale. Who the fuck does that? So now, I'm ready to buy this god damn thing and no one is around. Great. Good customer service there Best Buy..you fuckin' blow. So I talk to Geek Squad, ask how long the install is...blah blah...then I snag another employee and say something to the effect of "Yes, I do need help because the other guy there fucked off in the middle of talking to me...all I want is this computer here with the install. Can you please grab it for me?" So he does and he goes on and on about the Service Plan. Now I used to work at a Best Buy so I know all about it. After teaching him a thing or two I finally get all this shit together. But seriously...it takes 3 best buy employees to give me a computer I've already researched? Suck less dick.

After I get all of that done, Mitchell wants to go check out some stores. I'm waiting in the change room as he is trying things on. Now picture this...I'm sitting next to a mirror. This girl, who's maybe ..22? Walks up and pops a HUGE zit on her face. A.fucking.zit. In public. Really? REALLY? HOW the hell did you make it this far in life? Natural Selection should've kicked in by now because this is ri-god-damn-diculous.

I've had a lot of this random and mind boggling experiences, especially now that I reside in Toronto. I'll keep updating this shit as it happens.
