New Rule 1: Stop giving me that pop-up ad for classmates.com ! There's a reason you don't talk to people for 25 years. Because you don't particularly like them! Besides, I already know what the captain of the football team is doing these days: mowing my lawn. > New Rule 2: Don't eat anything that's served to you out a window unless you're a seagull. People are acting all shocked that a human finger was found in a bowl of Wendy's chili. Hey, it cost lessthan a dollar. What did you expect it to contain? Trout? > New Rule 3: Stop saying that teenage boys who have sex with their hot , blonde teachers are permanently damaged. I have a better description for these kids: lucky bastards.> New Rule 4: If you need to shave and you still collect baseball cards , you're a dope. If you're a kid, the cards are keepsakes of your idols. If you're a grown man, they're pictures of men. > New Rule 5: Ladies, leave your eyebrows alone. Here's how much men care about your eyebrows: do you have two of them? Okay, we're done.> New Rule 6: There's no such thing as flavored water. There's a whole aisle of this crap at the supermarket... water, but without that watery taste. Sorry, but flavored water is called a soft drink. You want flavored water? Pour some scotch over ice and let it melt. That should be your flavored water. > New Rule 7: Stop messing with old people. Target is introducing a redesigned pill bottle that's square, with a bigger label. And the top is now the bottom. And by the time grandpa figures out howto open it, his ass will be in the morgue. Congratulations, Target, you just solved the Social Security crisis. > New Rule 8: The more complicated the Starbucks order, the bigger the asshole. If you walk into a Starbucks and order a "decaf grande half-soy, half-low fat, iced vanilla, double-shot, gingerbread cappuccino, extra dry, light ice, with one Sweet-n'-Low and one NutraSweet," ooh, you're a huge asshole. > New Rule 9: I'm not the cashier! By the time I look up from sliding my card, entering my PIN number, pressing "Enter," verifying the amount, deciding, "No, I don't want cash back", and pressing "Enter" again, the kid who is supposed to be ringing me up is standing there eating my Almond Joy. > New Rule 10: Just because your tattoo has Chinese characters in it doesn't make you spiritual. It's right above the crack of your ass. And it translates to "beef with broccoli." The last time you did anything spiritual, you were praying to God you weren't pregnant. You're not spiritual. You're just high. > New Rule 11: Competitive eating isn't a sport. It's one of the seven deadly sins. ESPN recently televised the US Open of Competitive Eating, because watching those athletes at the poker table was just too damned exciting. What's next, competitive farting? Oh wait. They're already doing that. It's called "The Howard Stern Show."> > New Rule 12: I don't need a bigger mega M&M. If I'm extra hungry for M &Ms, I'll go nuts and eat two.> New Rule 13: If you're going to insist on making movies based on crappy , old television shows, then you have to give everyone in the Cineplex a remote so we can see what's playing on the other screens. Let's remember the reason something was a television show in the first place is that the idea wasn't good enough to be a movie. > New Rule 14: No more gift registries. You know, it used to be just for weddings. Now it's for babies and new homes and graduations from rehab. Picking out the stuff you want and having other people buy it for you isn't gift giving, it's the white people version of looting. > New Rule 15: and this one is long overdue: No more bathroom> attendants. After I zip up, some guy is offering me a towel and a mint, as if I just had sex with George Michael. I can't even tell if he's supposed to be there, or just some freak with a fetish. I don't want to be on your webcam, dude. I just want to wash my hands. > New Rule 16: When I ask how old your toddler is, I don't need to know in months. "27 Months?" "He's two," will do just fine. He's not a cheese . And I didn't really care in the first place. I was attempting to be nice. >

Cosign on that one.
And could people get off the fucking chipotle in everything?
I believe it's George Carlin

Keep it moving. And have your money/creditcard ready for crissakes.
PS The list is dope
Having worked in grocery stores for a long time I can't stand this. I will tell people in front of me to start packing. It one thing if there is a bagger, but when there are a crap load of people in line and you stand there scratching your ass while the checker rings you up and bags the order, you are a dick.
I heard this is common practice in Europe. Mo fuckas are just goofy. I understand if your elderly or handicapped, but some regular cat waiting for the cashier to do it is wack.
I pack my shit while she's makes my change/verify my card.

Yeah, that has always bugged me. Like, the checkout dude is just that--the checkout dude. He's not your Shopping Smithers. Bag your damn groceries, you useless blob.
It was super easy when I lived within walking distance of the grocery store. I could just walk up there with one of those canvas bags, fill it up with whatever I needed, unload it at the checkstand, then put everything right back in the bag. Quick, easy, outta there.
In what world do people make chili with trout? Of all the things to include in a chili, trout has to be right at the bottom of the list.
Sounds like you need a shopping smithers.
My grocery store lets people--usually either kids or semi-homeless people--pack bags for tips.
Reynaldo would be like, "Here's your gratuity, my good man"

Word up. Those guys are the worst. They get the
I've probably encountered two or three bathroom attendants in my whole life. I wish there was more but instead of giving towels just keep the fucking place clean.
My question? What is so hard about washing your hands without splashing water all over the bathroom counters. I swear some places I go to have a fucking lake's worth of water on the counter.
This sounds like a regional thing. In the Bay Area, unless you shop at some discount grocery store like Foodmax you otherwise never bag your own stuff. Checkout counters are even designed so bags can't be reached by customers.
While regrettable, I'm not sure if this is immoral.
Hey, Rock, you know who's got some nice tattoos? Stephon Marbury!
