Demo-crazy
So, I've decided one of my new year's resolutions is to blog more. I'm not sure why exactly, but probably because it's easy. So I have this co-worker, you know, at work that sits right behind me. This co-worker is an ok guy, seems nice enough, but happens to be a democrat. Well, I've noticed a disturbing trend lately that whenever I buy a bag of Fritos at the gas station ( I like both the chili cheese and the honey bbq twists, not important to the story, so you could have skipped reading this part as per the common use of parenthesis) this guy takes it upon himself to put his 65 year old hand in the bag and grab some.... without asking or even thanking me for the fritos. I don't know where he gets his self-entitlement to my bag of fritos, maybe it's a generational thing, maybe he has an unsatiable need for corn and fake chili seasoning, but my guess is it's because he's a democrat, I mean, isn't that the democrat way? have someone else earn something and then take whatever you want? Let's face it, I do have more fritos than he does, and don't we ALL deserve fritos and have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of empty carbs? It has become kind of a game I play now (I refer to "now" to imply that this has been going on for a while and is not an isolated event, again, not information you needed to understand the story) so today I bought some and didn't open the bag, just left them sitting on my desk. Finally I couldn't take it any more so I opened them like 5 minutes before lunch and sure enough... there was his old gross hand!! Grabbing my fritos!! I don't know what the deal is, and a confrontational me would say something, but let's face it I don't need ALL of the fritos and I would share a lot more than he takes if he'd ask. Just irks me. Anyways, there's my blog for the day. Expect a bunch more. Oh, I'd also like to start writing more poetry so if anybody wants to suggest any ideas, they would be appreciated.

I used to have a boss that would do that, except with my mug of pop. It was absolutely disgusting. But he did it to everyone's mug in the shop. He would never go out and buy his own, just walk around the shop drinking everyone elses. So I started leaving my mug on my light table over the weekend half full of Dr. Pepper. By Monday it was pretty dang nasty. I think he tried to drink it a few times. After that, he stopped drinking out of my mug. =]
I don't even know what to say to that. I guess I don't associate with Democrats because nobody ever tries to take my fritos. Weird. Creepy. Who would do that?
Ok, so it is strange that I know who you are talking about. I would try to get those habanero Cheetos. Don't eat them, just leave them there for a while with the label face down.
If you eat them, (and you will because republicans are not wasteful with their own money) have some milk close by.(that was my mistake).
Even a democrat can get burned twice.
This problem could be solved by just offering him a bowl full of fritos. You should purchase the fritos and pour an equal amount into two dishes. Why not? Just beat him to the punch. Beat him at his own game. I think it's nice when people feel comfortable enough with you to share your stuff without asking.
Okay, I'm just being a nerd.
