Rant!Vancouver

Ok, so it’s Sunday. I go out to check out a band I heard might be cool at Richards on Richards. Maybe you’ve heard of them, The Black Angels. Anyways the show was amazing, but afterward I’m in the bathroom rush and the urinals are all full except for one stall. This stall contains one toilet which is filled to the brim with feces and paper. Of course I don’t want to get this mess on my pants so I stand back about 3 feet and pee( still in the stall) into the toilet. When I’m done I turn to find a bouncer telling me I have no respect for the joint. I tell him to have some respect for me and keep a tidy bathroom. He takes this as a cue to lead me from the bar. Once outside I tell him what I think of his judgment and I am grabbed from behind by a shrimpy lil’ guy who demands I show him the toilet in question. Thinking this might solve the problem I go back in with him. He tells me he’s the owner and then tells me he’s gonna ” kick my fuckin’ teeth in!” Of course I don’!
t continue to follow him. This little old school Vegas, Casino wannabe fucker wouldn’t have stood a chance without his army of bouncers. I realize that the bouncers were just doing their job, though the first one was very misguided in his efforts to watch me pee and then accuse me of fouling his fine establishment. But the owner himself really crossed the line, and if he thinks this is how to run a bar and not eventually get himself knocked out, well then he will one day find out he was mistaken. Little people should not threaten people twice their size, because their personal army of bouncers will not always be around. I might add that I do not drink, and was not drunk

(Can you Digg it?)

Please show some courtesy to others while you are boarding the bus. I did not appreciate you shoving me in order to get to the front of the line nor did I enjoy the punch in the face you gave me as you reached for the dividing pole. No, I did not give you the evil eye because I was a bitch. I gave you the evil eye because YOU were a bitch. No hard feelings, okay?

OK, this really bothers me. Why do these ESL students crowd the sidewalks so you can’t pass, fill the air with cigarette smoke so you get cancer and throw garbage on the street so you can get crap all over your shoes! I love this country, but it seems like all the bad stuff from others are coming here. I think these schools should not only teach English, but common courtesy and manners as well. I live and work downtown and five years ago, things were great! Now we are thinking of moving just cuz all this crap we have to deal with. I’m not being racist, I’m a visible minority as well, but I respect others and our community. Kids these days…
