Pet Peeve of the Week!

The phrase "just sayin'" drives me nuts.  It's a poor man's "no offense, but;" a passive aggressive "just kidding."  People think it's an automatic freebie to be rude to whoever they want with no consequences.  It's one of my newest pet peeves, and ranks right up there with people who send me text messages that read, simply, "K."

Examples of instances where "just sayin'" is not cool:

-"Those pants make your ass look weird.  Just sayin'."
-"I heard that the guy you like might be gay.  Just sayin'."
-"You're being a real bitch right now.  Just sayin'."
-"I mean, I wouldn't sleep with him on the first date.  Just sayin'."
-"You're going to which bar?  I heard that place if full of old dudes.  I mean, I'm just sayin'."

It's just another one of those things that people do that annoy me.  I mean, I have a pretty long list, so I suppose this could just be chalked up to my own heinous bitchery.  My list includes things such as: People who drag their feet when they walk, people who chew with their mouths open, girls who put a question mark at the end of every sentence, and people who dye their dog's hair pink.  Just sayin'.

Celebrity sightings of the week:  4


1. Kat Dennings : But she comes in a lot, so it's no biggie.  (Said like a true jaded asshole.)

2. Zac Efron : Real talk: I was walking outside with my friend, both to say goodbye to her and turn on these little lights we have on the umbrellas at work.  As I stepped out the door, there were 3 guys walking towards us.  I looked up and made eye contact with Zac.  I stopped talking mid sentence.  I'm pretty sure I began to emit small animal noises.  He walked on by.  I sort of collapsed on a patio table.  That was it.

3. Thomas Calabro (aka Michael Mancici from Melrose Place - the original, not the Ashlee Simpson piece of shit) : He was very polite and hasn't aged a day; but he was with some sort of Trophy Girlfriend who was wearing a polo shirt and tennis skirt, and they were both wearing visors.  So the coolness factor dropped a trillion degrees.

4. Kevin McHale (aka Artie from Glee) : I was actually on my break when he came in.  Again, it was a bit startling to see him walking, as disgusting as that sounds.  He looked good, came in with a friend, and actually stayed for a bit.  But I walked to the store while he was there and didn't insist on waiting on him, like I do with every other pseudo celeb that comes in, so that should tell you how exciting the whole thing was.  Jaaaa-ded.

               This is what I think of when I see Kevin McHale.  :(
