Welcome to Gaia! ::

copy and pasted from my journal... haha!!
Home Depot has failed me.
So as i assume, you opened this journal with thoughts along the lines of "wtf". I shall explane!!!

So, i was raking leaves in my front yard when my rake broke, so i had to go to Home Depot to buy a new one. I bought two -- just incase. So then i proceded to the check out line where a nice little line had been forming. I had two choices:
1. the "regular check out"
or
2. the "self check out" line
Now, i STRONGLY dislike self check out lines because they harass you to put the STUPID ITEM IN THE DAMN BAGGING AREA!!!!!! and you can't likep put your purse in the baggin area or the stupid maching will bother you. AND THEN! some ugy always ends up getting his dollar jammed in the stupid dollar slot thing like the ones on popmachines, and he keeps on trying to flatten his dollar to let the machine accept it AND THE MACHINE WON'T ACCEPT IT THE STUPID DOLLAR IS RIPPPED IN HALF. and the dumb guy doesn't realize all he has to do is put 4 effing quarters in the dumb thing. ((do you realize how long we run around looking for lost remotes instead of going up and changing the channel manually??!!!))

Anyhoo... instead of waiting for two casheir-run checkouts, i decided to take my chances on the four self-check out lines. So i waited in the self check-out line of hell for three minutes and then it was my turn. I searched for the damn barcode on the rakes WHICH TOOK ME LIKE TWO MINUTES!!!! and then i needed to put my purchase in the bagging area......

Ok, now the bagging area in Home Depot is the size of one in a GROCERY STORE!!! like they have HOW many things bigger than a turkey??!! you would think that they would actually make bagging areas big enough to put half of their store's purchases on. So, i struggled to put my rake in the bagging area.

I went to find the stupid self-checkout moderator who was assisting a costomer with some check related issue. ((get a damn credit card already!!)) So then the little petite mexican moderator came over and tried to FIT THE RAKE IN THE BAGGING AREA!!! So then i FINALLY ASKED HER (after about 30 seconds of amusement seeing her try and magically bend a plastic rake into the bagging area) "don't you have some key you can press up there?" *points to the moderating kindom of hell*

"ah, si, si! smart girl!"

BY GOSH!!! HOW HARD IS THAT??!!!

Beware its a block of ranting...

I HATE TRAINS! - Okies I need a proper rant about today 'cos its been sooo awful! I arrived at the train station today at 8am to find that all the trains were either delayed or cancelled (for 2 hours) so I walked back to my house... It was very windy and I got blown over once, twisted my ankle 4 times and had a bird nearly flown into my face. Right so when I got home I told my mom about it all and that I'd walk to another station to see if it's any better there. (I also rang my college to say I'd be late) So I strolled out the door once more to head to a different station (nearest one is 30 mins away) - my mom couldnt give me a lift cos she got picked up to go to work. I got to the station [NO TRAINS] So I had to walk to the central staion! -In total I did 'bout an hours walking (maybe more) If it wasnt so windy I could've done it in like 45 mins... So I get to the central station and no trains are going to where I wanna go.. Then to top it off the train info things dont work so I dont know when a train is gonna come! But a train came,, it didnt say where it was going so I jumped on.. The ticket guy came and I asked and he said it was going to where I wanted to go! (I was happy but still pissed) By the time I got to college it was 1:30pm (I was late by just over 4 hours.
Right so I spent 2 hours in college and didnt get told off for being late so that wernt so bad! (But unfortunately I had to go home on the train)... I got to the station at 4:00... GUESS WHAT?! The trains were all cancelled and delayed! I waited an hour for the train to come! luckily I got a seat! but before it even got to the first station it stopped half way for 30 mins! Im so thankful I had someone with me to keep me sane! I finally got home at 6pm. I would just like to end this with.. I hate trains big time!
