people suck. especially when they are losers.

today after the gym i went to clement street to hit up an asian market. i wanted to make some asian-y chicken soup tonight and needed me some lemon grass and galang-galang-galanga. here's what i bought for a mere TEN DOLLARS.

2 jalpenos
broccoli
lemon grass
galanga
celery
carrots
rice noodles
coconut cookies
bok choy
onion
dark soy sauce
chili sauce

TEN DOLLARS people.

anyways, after the market i walked over to a little coffee shop that was cute and cramped and had some yummy sandwiches on display (mozzarella, egg and tomato! interesting!). in front of me was this pretty non-descript guy, but on futher observation i would say that, in high-school, he was probably an insecure white hat (jock) and needed *stuff* to seem important or tuff (i judge people on a regular basis). so he is ordering (coffee, 2 cookies) and he pulls out this wad of bills wrapped with a rubberband. i don't really notice until he starts, like, opening and closing the wad a lot and when i actually LOOK at it, i see that its a stack of about 30-40 one hundred dollar bills. i mean, front to back man, possibly even more than that. the counter person rings him up ($3.30) and the guy literally takes the rubber band off his wad of cash, and starts COUNTING hundreds!?!? he then hands the counter person a one hundred dollar bill. i mean, dude, he got like NINETY-SEVEN DOLLARS in change. at this point, the guy in line nehind me kinda snort/chuckles and i turn to look at him and thought, huh...did he see the wad o'hundreds too? is he similarly NOT impressed with this loser? i turn back to the counter and place my order and while i do this and wait for my coffee the money guy is still standing there shuffling through his wad o' cash and seperating out the change he got and man what-the-fuck-ever!

as i turn to leave the line, the guy behind me says, "jeeze he could tackle half the national debt with that!" HAHAHA! love that guy. his comment made me grab his elbow and squeeze it. hahaha.

i guess what really got me about this guy is that you just know this is all the money he has. because you know what? people who HAVE that money on a regular basis DON'T carry 40k on them to the coffee shop. you know he was just acting big. showing off.

i said to my friend, karen, that i really wanted to say to him, "are you sure you should be flaunting your cash like that?" but then something akin to manners come over me and i don't.

what an ass.
