Weekly Annoyances......

It's time for another installment of your favorite blog post, the weekly annoyances. Its been a few weeks since things have annoyed me enough to blog about them so this will be packed full!!!!!


Voicemails


This first one is one I'm sure we are all guilty of doing but it pisses us off when it happens to us and that's the infamous voicemail that simply says "hey, it's me, call me back". Really?? Why don't you leave me a message and the reason you called and I'll decide whether it's worth my time to call you back. When you don't leave a message, my first response is that if it's that important, one of two things will happen. You'll either call back, or you'll leave a message!!! So the next time you call someone and are planning on leaving a message, make sure if you want a call back to let then know why you called, jackass!!!!! So the next time you call someone and just leave the message, "call me back", they might call you back and just leave the message, "Knock that shit off"!!!!!!





Stop texting Stickers


We've all seen these stickers now on the back of cars and although I agree with the message I have an issue with the stickers. Taking the time to read the stickers can also be distracting to some drivers as well, maybe not as much as texting, but distracting nonetheless. The biggest problem I have is that I recently have seen 2 different cars with these stickers on them, while the driver is on the cell phone with children in the car!!!! Hypocritical, don't you think?? Don't claim to be against texting while driving when what you're doing is distracting as well and you have children in your car!!!! So the next time I see that damn sticker on your car and you happen to be talking on the cell phone, I'm going to flash my lights and beep constantly and also tell you to, Knock that shit off!!!!!!!

 
Holidays


With the holidays approaching and the pending snow, it makes me reminisce of my years of working in the grocery/retail business. With the end of Halloween fastly approaching, in the grocery/retail business that only means that all of the Christmas decorations and candy gets put out. Unlike others, this doesn't bother me because I know the business and in the words of a famous philosophizer, "if you ain't first you're last"!! This means that the sooner you get this holiday merchandise out, the better chance you have of selling it before your opposition. Now here is the part that annoys me, the customers. Why is it neccessary to feel like you are the only customer and everything you want should always be there???? You have to understand that the workers at these stores have families they want to spend time with as well just like you, so they don't need all of your attitude driven bullshit!!! All I ask is that this holiday shopping season, take that into consideration and also remember that it is not the worker's intention to sell out of products so don't take it out on them!! So during this holiday season if you see anyone taking their frustration out on the store employees, I'll ask you to join me in pulling them aside and asking them kindly, Knock that shit off!!!! If that doesn't work, do what you have to do!!!!

This is Kyle Montgomery, and this has been my two cents!!!

It's not a lie, if you believe it........

Recently, I had a discussion involving hypothetical situations to gauge how people would respond when faced with life-changing decisions.

For instance, if you knew your brother/sister was cheating and your brother/sister in-law asked if you knew anything, would you throw your sibling under the bus or stay out of it and plead the 5th?? Would your response change if it was a good friend and another friend? In my opinion, it's not my responsibility to give the bad news it's my sibling's. Plus to be honest, it's not any of my business, so there is no reason for me to get involved. Knowing this, would your decision change if it was your brother/sister in-law cheating and you knew about, would you tell your sibling?? Is the morality of it any different just because it's your family by blood or by marriage?? I don't see it as you're lying in either case, I think it's justifiable to not get involved in other people's issues regardless of knowledge or relationships with those people. If my brother/sister in-law came to me, I would say you need to talk to them. After they did this, if they were satisfied with the answer they received, then what else can I do?? Again, it is none of my business nor is it my responsibility to break that news. I'm sure a great deal of people will agree with me when I say, if you cheat, you deserve what's coming to you, but I won't be the one to hurry that process up!!!!

Here is another thought. If your husband or wife came home and said they had just committed a crime, would you turn them in??? Where do the ethics and morals stop and loyalty comes into play?? I'd have a hard time turning a loved one in for anything. If I was not there, it's justifiable to say I don't know anything, right?? There are people out there that would turn their own blood in if they committed a crime and that floors me. I understand ethical thinking and understanding right from wrong, but trust is essential for families to survive. I'm not saying to test that trust by committing a crime, all I'm saying is maybe ask yourself, "will my brother, sister, mom or dad, turn me in or throw me under the bus, or will they plead the 5th"??? Unless I was physically there when something happens, I won't be saying a word!! Who's to say it actually happened?? If we believe everyone when they say they did something, we'd all be running around scared every day!! Also, if you're one of those people that would throw your family under the bus, you're not as trustworthy as you think you are!! Loyalty is a big word in situations like these and where does yours lie??

I'm not encouraging lying or covering up crimes, I'm just simply encouraging trustworthy people. When you say "I'd take a bullet for so and so", if it meant life or death for you,do you really mean it?? Or, "I'd give you the shirt off my back", if it's raining or snowing, would you?? In my opinion, there a handful of people that I would honestly and truthfully do those things for and I'm happy to say that they know who they are. To me, if my bond is strong enough with these people to do those things, it's also strong enough to "plead the 5th" and not throw them under the bus!!

Think about these situations and give me your responses. I'd like to see how many people will be completely honest or will just respond with what they "think" they'd do!!


This is Kyle Montgomery with my two cents and reminding you all of a great quote in history......
