The heatwave hit the mid 90's in southern california and along with the rise of the temperature, so did the ire of the people I live with.
More annoyed than mad
In line for ramen, I get to the front and ask the too old to be a teen, too grumpypuss to have a significant other waitress if the tonkatsu broth contains msg. She looks at me and says "I don't know". So we're standing there for a few seconds staring at each other in an asian standoff until I finally say, "could you ask someone" since the cooks are like 5 feet away. She sighs and turns around to ask. And they all tell her no. I just wanted to say, "now was that so hard to do?" but opt not to since I didn't get my food yet.
Pretty Mad
So I'm pulling out of the parking lot when the driver of the car ahead of me is in animated discussion with the clerk working the pay booth. She owes something and she won't lift the gate bar until she pays or at least have a validation. The driver huffs and decides to go in the mall to buy something...without moving her vehicle off the side. So now there is this train of cars behind me and myself stuck until she comes back out. Fortunately, I'm not in a rush.
Really mad
Its one in the morning and I taking a leisurely drive home on surface streets since the freeway is under construction. I'm at a stop light when a car pulls up to the right of me and the 30 something hispanic male says something through the window. I'm thinking he needs direction so I roll down my windown. He says in an agitated voice..."blah blah puto!". I know what that means but I say, "sorry I don't understand" and he says "it means fuck you!". Not wanting to escalate the situation I play dumb and just say "uhhh, ok". He replies a little more upset "don't act dumb with me, I know what you're doing". All I can say is "errr, Im going home". He replies, "Than I'm a follow you home and kick your ass...(which of course is better than I'm a shoot you)...or you want settle it right now?! Pull over and lets settle it!" What? I don't even know this guy. The light turns green and i drive off but he's actually following me! I decide to heads toward the police station in the next city but after driving, he sticks his hand out the window and waves while driving off. I have no idea what the hell just happened.
If this is the worse thats going to happen, it doesn't seem that bad. Conversely, on a good note, I got some bacon in my refrigerator.

re: the summer of heat and anger
guten tag, herr doktor poon;YOU GOT BACON? IN YOUR FRIDGE? I'M A KILL YOU!!! ...sorry, sorry, the nitrites get me all upset and shit....
i can never see you as ever being angry, for very long, anyway. to me, you are william of poon, the patron saint of collecting action figures and sexing out with the pretty LAAADEEEEZZZ. and to all who do not know this, the tired waitress, the crazyangry vato, the rude lineblocker (that one gave me a special moment of vicarious rage...), well they are just losing out and are not WORTHY of your superior ways.
stay cool, sir,
sr d
in conclusion, "give me my fitty dollahs."
