Wasted Youth... Fuck Authority...

The other day I try to inform one of the customers that she should not fill out a ticket the way she was doing... She would put the dollar amount in numbers in the ticket but in the cents area she put 'X's... Now let me make this clear for those who think they are hanging out with Marcus Aurelius 'X' is not a number and if it was that would mean 20 cents... You have no idea how many times someone complains because they wrote a check and they charged their account 44 cents instead of no cents because they put 'X's... The system looks at them and thinks they are '4's. And how wonderful it is to take 20 minutes out of your day just to return '44' cents... So anyway I informed this customer that she should alter the way that she fills out her deposit ticket so there is not a mistake during processing. What does she do... She flat-out refuses to change... She says that she has been filling out her tickets like that for the last 30 years and that she is not going to change... Apparently she did not realize that there have been changes and/or improvements in banking technology since she started... You know like computers... Calculators... The Abacus...

My other instance is this other customer calls and she tells me that she wants to close her account but she was in Florida. Apparently Florida is where old people migrate to die. So I told her that I needed written authorization before I could close her account. All she would have to do is write a letter and I would close the account and then mail her the check. Well she proceeds to tell me that she does not want to write a letter and that she should not have to since she is old... Old people should not have to write letters. I just could not do anything so I put the lady on hold and this lady from the branch picks up... All I hear is: "He can not close the account with out written authorization" "Well I am a senior citizen too." Im telling you, people think they can get away with this crap because they are old... but they seem to always complain about Americas youth... We are doing things that they could never have dreamed of.

There just seems to be a sort of negative look on the young by old people. I remember when I was a kid and my parents bought a camcorder. Well I was using it and them mothers dad (yeah I phrased it like that for a reason) was yelling at me because I was too young to be handling such an expensive piece of equipment... Dude!!! I was the only one who knew how to operate the damn thing... Finally I told him that according to his theory of age/price of equipment ratio he would be the only person in the house to use the $2500.00 computer I had in my room. And since he did not even know to turn the damn thing on he shouldn't even talk about it.

They say that youth is wasted on the young... What ever... They other day my friend and I were going to get some sushi. While we are going to the restaurant we see this old lady trying to park her convertible Toyota Solara. The top was down so its not like she should have had problems parking. But she did. She had two car lengths to park... she could not make in in those conditions. I swear they should have a special license for bad drivers like that. Class S for Suck-Ass. Yeah that's right. I stood there and watched her try to park. Finally when she hit the curb for the third time I was too disgusted. As I walked away I said, loud enough so she would hear, "You know how they say youth is wasted on he young? Well nice cars are wasted on old people!"

Why are old people always complaining about young people and how good we have it... Oh yeah they had it bad... Well let me tell you... I don't care that you had to walk to school barefooted, in the snow, carrying your books, up a hill, both ways... I am so tired of this age discrimination crap... You guys are just angry that we got color TV. Screw you AARP. Well if you people had it so bad then how come everything we enjoy is exploited beyond our control by greedy old people... How come we are not going to get any social security? How come we don't have an ozone layer?
