Dood.
So I'm standing in line at the post office this morning. The line was pretty long and there was one person ahead of me before the counter.
This larger black lady cuts the entire line because I guess she was given some forms to fill out and was told she could come back to the counter when finished.
So we're all waiting and the postal worker tells the lady that her p.o. box is going to cost like 35 dollars and then 2 dollars for the keys. Bringing her total to 37 dollars.
The lady says that she was told it was only 19 dollars.
The postal worker asks where she heard that.
The lady says oh well I have a p.o. box in sacramento and it's only 19 dollars a month there.
The postal worker politely informs her that since sacramento is a different district their boxes cost a different amount.
So then the lady starts talking about how that's because Sacramento is a prodominately white city so therefore everything else is cheaper. Taxes, gas, housing, etc. And that since Hercules is closer to Richmond, Oakland and Etc. All the " Black " neighborhoods and cities that everything is more expensive. ETc.etc. This continues for like 5 - 7 minutes while the postal worker finishes the lady's paperwork without a word about the race-related rant this lady is going off on to a philipino customer standing next to her.
I really REALLLLLLY wanted to just yell SHUT THE FUCK UP! EVERYONE KNOWS HERCULES IS ABOUT AS FUCKING WHITE AS THEY COME! GET OFF YOUR DAMN SOAPBOX AND MOVE ALONG SO THE REST OF US CAN GET DONE WHAT WE NEED TO DO! NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT RACE! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!
Ug.
People just annoy me.
