Welcome to I don't wanna hear it! Here, I will be informing you of the idiotic things I hear throughout my day. Oh, what fun!
First idiotic thing I heard today happened while I was getting my haircut. While my barber and I were catching up on some gossip, here comes some douche bag who gets into the chair next to us. In between the buzz of the clippers and the snips of the scissors, I can hear him talking about how he's a barista at a coffee shop. I listen a little closer and he's getting real passionate about being a barista - how it calms him down. He says something along the lines of, "You know how painters feel each time they stroke their brush on the canvas and it just soothes them," he obnoxiously rambles, "That's how I feel every time I make a latte and hang out - It's just so cathartic!"
OH, GOD, KILL ME NOW! I was 'bout ready to vomit onto my drape. I swear I almost saw my brain, that's how far back my eyes rolled. Please, Mr. Douche Bag, go back to your recycled aircraft furniture, exposed brick walls, and listen to Mumford and Sons. I don't wanna hear it!

This second idiotic thing I heard actually didn't happen today, but a few days ago. I was at work hanging out with my new coworker and this girl LOVES to talk, but she only has so many things to talk about. She's that person at work that you don't really want to talk to because all they ever have to say is so uninteresting and dragged out, but you have to be cordial and not tell them to shut up 'cause you need to collect that paycheck.
Anyways, a few days ago she ACTUALLY shut up and gave me the opportunity to talk. She asks me about my family background and when my parents met. I tell her I'm Filipino and that I'm second generation American, blah blah blah. Now, my mother has four children and two of them were born in Saudi Arabia, because before coming to America to be a nurse you might have gone to Saudi Arabia. As I was trying to explain this to her, the only words that were able to come out of my mouth were, "My mom needed to move to a different country to take care of her first child, so she - ". That's when this ignorant, IGNORANT, little girl cuts me off and screams, "CAME TO AMERICA TO FIND A WHITE MAN!"
WHEN I TELL YOU I ALMOST LOST MY SHIT.... but that paycheck slapped me straight in the face and said, "J.R., don't you go off on this idiot, that rent due soon!" And some of you may already know how I feel about that whole White-Asian interracial shit (possible future post) and how my inner Kanye might have came out.
I stayed; cool, calm, collected, I kept my inner Kanye in, and went about my business.
I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT!
