“Don't you hate it when you're in a hurry and you run to the Express Lane in the store because there are only one or two people there, then one or both of them hold up the line because they need a price check or want to put something back? Then, the cashier has to call the manager for a void.

“Ladies, have y’all ever dated a brotha who always wants to come over to your place to eat your food, ride your sofa and bed, and he never offers to bring you anything (not even a six pack of soda or a loaf of bread), and he never wants to take you out anywhere?”

“Judging by what I see going on in the world today with the American family, I know there must be many people who observe the behavior and lifestyle of some, if not all of the members of their immediate family and think, "How did I get stuck in such a fu*ked up family?" I wonder how many people hate going to their family reunions because they know, with the exception of a few people, it's gonna be the same ole tired, loud, soulful people there every year, and how many just take a good look at everybody at the reunion and think, "This can't be everybody, where are the decent, normal relatives?”

“True-Blue Friends: These are the friends who stick by you when you need them, no matter how many times y’all fall out. Even if y’all had just had an argument and called each other bitch, whore, bastard, fat, ugly or whatever.

“Don't get me wrong, I don't mind giving but don't you hate it when you can't go to the store or stop at a red light without somebody begging, especially when you go to that store regularly or take the same route to and from work and the same people approach you. Don't it make you want to say, "Look gotdamnit, don't be asking me for money every time I bring my ass through here!" or make you wanna put on a T-shirt when you go to the store that says, "I AIN"T GOT SHIT SO DON'T ASK ME FOR SHIT?”

“I earn just enough money to cover my bills and maybe eat out once or twice a week, should I go shopping for expensive clothes and shoes and just pay a little money on my bills instead of paying them in full?

I know some of us don't have a problem telling our spouse, lover, close friends and relatives, but when it comes to coworkers, strangers and new acquaintances, most of us will not say anything. It's like we're more embarrassed to tell them than we think they would be to hear it.”
