this is a continuation to a previous post, “have a crappy day”. This came to my mind today while visiting my local Starbucks. I receive gift cards there twice a year. It would be 3 times a year, but since I’m a lucky bitch who has a birthday the day after Christmas, I get the gift cards twice a year. Christmas/birthday and mothers day.
So, I go in and always get the “how are you?”
Every single time someone ask me that question, I wonder what would happen if I said something really off the fucking wall.
Something like, “I was fine yesterday, but today I just want fucking coffee” or “I’m great now that I know Ann Coulter’s point of view is the same as a horse’s ass with eyes.” Or some other crazy shit.
But instead, I always say “good” or “great.” BLAH!
Then, they always insist on knowing your FIRST name so they can call back to the barista,
“so and so wants a……”
Here again, I want to say something crazy because when I say “Gia” I know what will come.
“Ah, that’s an unusual name” or “I loved that movie” or “were you named after the model?”
I guess I should see that as a compliment…. but
I get my grande starbucks cup with my name nicely placed above the special order section. But I wonder….
What would the barista write on my cup if the polite, little college girl said, “non fat, triple, grande latte for fuck you!”
So, in light of my wonderful mood here’s a bit from George Carlin, Have a nice day!!!!









I’m sorry you’re having a craptastic day Gia! That video mad me laugh though.
I thought I beat the system on the throwaway greeting when I came up with “I’m doing well thank you how are you”, but everybody is coming back “I doing well” or “I’m doing very well”, so it seems like more of a competition than a meaningless exchange, and it feels like a lot of people want to win more than me.
you gave me lots to think about…thank you. great video.
