Public Toilets- Can't they just be clean?

Matthew, a fan of the site, sent us these pictures he took from a bathroom at his local Safeway. It still amazes me how gross these bathrooms get.

Mr. Weiner Goes To Washington. And Tears It UP!!

Some are saying Rep. Weiner is being rude, but others say more politicians need to get angry about partisan politics killing much-needed bills.

What do you think?

Not rude, just funny...

Today, the video is not about being rude, but just cracked me up. I hope you enjoy it. For those of you that are parents, you might recognize Leslie from Yo Gabba Gabba. Enjoy!

Jailhouse Rock

Lindsay Lohan just can't get a break. Now the girl, Alexis Neiers, that allegedly robbed her house, is talking about Lindsay's jail experience. (Lindsay was put in the next cell) Isn't there some kind of prison code that what happens behind bars, stays behind bars? I'm just saying...

If he didn't hurt anybody, is it rude or just genius?

MOVE IT OR LOSE IT!

To People that walk in parking lots:

Do you think you can hustle a bit? I mean, I don't mind stopping and not hitting you, but seriously, I know you are able to move it along faster. (This message is not for people that actually have a walking problem.)

This is for you, yeah you. You know, the person who is talking to their friend, while walking over to the bank. I saw you today. You saw me. I was the one in the car waiting and waiting for you to prance along. Now if you were in New York, things would have been on my side. We don't put up with that crap. Unfortunately, this is California and pedestrians have the right of way. (I think in New York it is that way to, but it is an unwritten rule that the driver has the right of way. But I digress.)

So please for the love of God, be a little more aware of your surroundings, because the next person won't be as lovely, nice and courteous as me. Have a lovely day.

Dude. Seriously??!

Yes, it is hot and sticky outside, being that it is summer and all. All of us, yes, ALL, of us, suffer from ole "swamp-ass" in one form or t'other, this is a fact. But, dude on the subway, why must ye reach UNDER your shorts' and underwear's waistbands, whilst you are sitting and reading your past-trendy Stieg Larsson "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" book, and obviously untangle your man-junk? Why? Why do I have to witness this, o forty-something yuppy-looking guy? I,too, am uncomfortable and bunched up and all, but I WAIT. To do things like this in private. Not when we are all packed in like sardines, staring at one another's crotch areas. Please keep your balls-fingers far, far away from me, grossman. Blechhhhhhh.

Lindsay Lohan Surrenders, Begins 90-Day Jail Sentence

This was the number one story on the local news stations in Los Angeles this morning. Do you think we have our priorities straight? It is kind of hilarious and scary all at the same time.

Donald Trump Recruiting a Tiger Lady for iCelebrity Apprentice/i

Maybe it is just me, but does anyone think this is wrong? All this time I thought you had to be a movie star or someone on TV, etc., but clearly you just have to sleep with a famous married guy to be a "celebrity." My bad.

Sweaty sweaty grossness, redux.

I know, I know, you think we are nags. I don't give a damn, frankly. Well, okay, I care a little bit. But today, looking at the gross, sweaty-shirted dude who LEANED his entire sweaty back-and-asscrack against the metal pole, meant for unsteady hands to hold, not as an alternate "seat," in a crowded subway car....well it just sets me OFF.

I understand why one leans a dry back against the grip-pole in an uncrowded train. But when one is soaking wet with sweat, and the train is crowded, and commuters are on their tippy-toes trying to reach high up on the now-gross pole to avoid touching the length of your clammy backside, then OPEN YER DANG EYES and be polite. Move away from the pole, grip that thing with your damn hand, and make some damn room. Damnit.

Smoker spurring smoke to people in public at Animal World Safari, Melacca.

It doesn't matter where you are in the world. Blowing smoke into a crowd is rude. Go blow somewhere else!

Things that annoy me....

I, personally, find the following things rude and annoying. You might disagree. So let us know how you feel below or on Facebook.

Things That Annoy Me by MRF:

1. Drivers that do not have a stop sign, but stop anyway. This then makes a traffic build-up and gets me grouchy.

2. People who drive while holding and talking on their cell phone. It happens so much and don't these people know by now that Oprah is watching? ( I know I repeating myself here, but she is all powerful)

3. Body Odor- No explanation necessary.

4. People that talk down to you. Really, do I look that stupid? Okay, don't answer that.

5. People who do not return e-mails. Yes, I am talking to you.

6. People who do not return phone calls. It doesn't have to be right away, but it should be in a 24 hour period (unless the person is on vacation, under a rock and/or has an allergy to phones)

7. People who bump into you and don't apologize. Is it really that difficult to say excuse me?

There are others things that I could discuss, but this is what is on my mind now. What bugs you? Let us know.

From NY Times: "perfectly decent parents can produce toxic children..."

An interesting column the New York Times, written by a psychiatrist, about rude, unkind, or "toxic" children - and the possibility that sometimes parents are not to blame:

If only Airlines would actually have good customer service....

This guy was really smart. (He is a professor, so I hope so!) If airlines would just take care of people then stuff like this wouldn't have to happen.

Parking rudeness

Nancy, a fan of the site sent this into us. You know what they say about guys with giant cars.....

Hey Rude,
Saw this, this afternoon here in suburban Maryland. He's got two parking spaces, parked diagonally, and brought his fully 2 ton truck for ONE roll of toilet paper.
Just sayin'
Thanks, Nancy

Via Gothamist: Racist landlords!!

Gothamist: AG Cuomo's Investigation Busts Racist Landlords

"Bad news if you live on Ocean Parkway: your landlord might be racist. Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has filed lawsuits against owners and managers of properties in Brooklyn and Glenville, Schenectady County, claiming an undercover investigation caught them refusing to rent or show apartments to black applicants. Cuomo said in a statement, "Our investigation found that housing discrimination continues to this day and landlords who continue to ignore the law will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

According to the investigation, landlords at these properties told black applicants there were no apartments available even though they were; that they must fill out an application and make an appointment to see apartments, even though he let white applicants see apartments immediately; and discouraged black applicants from applying. Owners of 1750 Ocean Parkway, Morris and Elsa Bistricer, agreed to pay $40,000 in damages and provide anti-discrimination training to rental agents.

The Post obtained a transcript of conversations between a black undercover investigator and the super, and a white undercover investigator and the super at 1648 Ocean Parkway, both of which took place on the same day. The super told the black investigator there was "no way to say" when a two-bedroom apartment would be opening up in the building, while inviting the white investigator to see the two-bedroom almost immediately.

Landlords at the Glenville apartments also discriminated against families, telling parents they didn't want kids in their buildings and asked some applicants if they planned on having kids. Cuomo told the Post, "Discrimination is alive and well in America today." What's up, Arizona?"

When will people learn that a seat is not for your feet...

Bella, a great fan of the site, has sent us another gem. It is something we have talked about before, but should be repeated.

Hey guys.
I know we have seen this behavior before but I couldn't resist snapping a pic.

FIGHTING WITH TEENAGERS: A COPYRIGHT STORY

"Sharing," "trading," or stealing? When an artist creates something, does he deserve to get paid for it, to make a living from it? Who thinks that because one is able to get it for free on the internet, then it is every man for himself, and the artist be damned? What if it was YOUR creation? Your music? Your film? Your book?

Check out this back-and-forth between a composer and a teenager who thinks it is okay to trade his sheet music without any recompense for the artist:

Americans are NOT stupid - WITH SUBTITLES

Today is a day to celebrate the birth of our country. I know we feel we are so smart, but I think we have some people here that just need to be exiled. The reason is, they say things that are so stupid, it is no wonder the rest of the world hates us.

The Fourth of July is All About Drinking and Handling Explosives

It's Fourth of July weekend! And if you're not working like we are, you should be out drinking Bud, getting a sunburn, and blowing shit up like a true Patriot. Here's some examples of how to properly celebrate America's birthday.

From Buzzfeed:

"Check me out... I'm awesome."

"Dude, I'll bet you a rack of Natty Ice that you won't blow up our kitchen."

"Bro, he's totally sleeping. Let's blow his ass up."

Happy Fourth of July Weekend! Don't Eat 78 Hot Dogs!!

Eating Contests will never, ever stop being the most disgusting thing humans can do in public. Really, why does this exist? Give me ONE good reason. One. Oh, can't think of any? EXACTLY.

People are hungry right here in the good ole U.S. of A. And by hungry, I mean GOING WITHOUT FOOD BECAUSE THEY ARE POOR. These "contests" have people jamming so much crap into their mouths and stomachs that they usually hurl. What a delightful, delicious sight. Happy Fourth of July, hungry people!!
