OUT with the old, in with the new

It's 50 minutes to midnight and I've been scrolling through Facebook to try and stay awake and I can't help but notice ALL the posts of my friends reflecting on this past year and all the things they've done. The problem is I've seen all those photos throughout the year and it's annoying seeing reposts of all their old posts. Please people, think of something more original because you're boring me. I don't think I will look at my social media for the next few days... #lookingforthegoodintheworld

Why do some people straight up stink?

I'm a hairstylist. I am up close and personal with people on a daily basis. You may think this rant is about the personal hygiene or lack thereof of society as a whole but it is not. And although I have seen more disgusting things than people have seen in their whole life, I am talking about the real stench... TIGHT WAUDS. Maybe I'm just venting from an extremely sucky day at work because I have been stiffed about 4 times. Let me just teach you a little lesson about when and how much to tip. 1. Restaurants are a place to tip. A good rule of thumb is 20% on the total price of the food (Not taxes). 2. Hairstylists who work for someone else. This is where I have a LOT to say. The 20% rule goes out the window. At my salon we charge $15 for a cut. I get 38% of that which is $5.70 before taxes. If you are whiney and take a half hour of my time and stiff me, that means I have little potential to make much above minimum wage. A good tip is $5 on a $15 cut. Thats 30% which is a good rule to follow. If you make a big stink and ask me to cut 1/4 of the top after I just finished cutting then you should tip more. Let me just say that paying a little more is always better than jipping someone. Believe it or not, it will make you feel better and it will definitely make the stylist feel better. I don't think that fast food or Cold Stone employees need tips. See what I just said there? Need. They done need them but it never hurts to give. Someone explained it to me like this: if you are paying for a service or food afterwards it's been performed, then you tip. If you pay and then eat, there is no need to tip since you don't know how the service was. If you don't like the system, too bad. I went to school to do my job and the way I make money is tips. So pay up buttercup. 😘

Deception

Why do these donuts exist? They are always left at the bottom of the box and end up drying out and getting thrown out. I sometimes trick myself into eating one thinking it will be a beautiful marriage between an ooey gooey cinnamon roll and a fluffy donut. And each time I do I'm deceived. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on me. Either be a cinnamon roll or be a donut! But you can't be both.

Her Future Is So Bright!

I used to say "her future is so bright" when I saw girls wearing sunglasses on their heads as fashion accessories in high school. Why is this still a thing? Either put them on your eyes or wear a headband! Sunglasses are not a 2 for 1 fashion accessory. Please just no.

Baby-soft Porn

While scrolling through Facebook today I stumbled upon someone advertising a newborn baby photoshoot. Let me first say that taking pictures of newborns is fine. But nude glamour shots? 🤮 It's weird. Newborn babies have a hard time as it is looking cute but dress them up in a creepy costume and lay them naked on a table and I'm out. Where do you put these pictures anyways? Above the dining room table? Spare there poor child and all of us bystanders and only take cute candid naked bathtub pictures. #stilltryingtolookforthegoodintheworld

What is wrong with you?

Why do people buy cars that look like police cars? What the heck is wrong with them? I hate when I'm driving on my merry way and see what looks like a police car so I slow down only to have a grandma on her cell phone pass me by.  I've wasted all that time slowing down when I could have been speeding. #iveonlyhadoneticketthoughsuckas

Or those freaking hippies that buy a rack for the top of their car for equipment that they never use! It looks like police car lights. Take that thing off your roof and put your snowboard in the back of your VW bus like a normal hippie.
