La Dolce Musto: the column

People I Hate...

Posted by Michael Musto at 12:35 PM, February 7, 2008


Note to TV reporters: this is 'Hillbilly Heroin.'

The ones who block an exit by standing there when 200 people are trying to leave.

A cashier who assumes that since you’re on your cell phone, you won’t notice they’re only giving you half your change.

Cab drivers who insist your credit card didn’t work for some obscure technical reason and you’ll have to pay in cash, knowing full well it DID work and they’ll get double payment.

Anyone who compulsively sends you dozens of useless old YouTube videos every day, assuming every single TV appearance of, say, Della Reese will prove endlessly fascinating.

The ones who take five days to answer—or even see—an email you sent, then wonder why they're complete failures.

“Gotcha!” types who e-mail in droves to say stuff like, “You misspelled Hillary.”

People who send MTV an unsolicited proposal, then spend years saying, “I’m in negotiation with MTV for a show.”

Guys who, without having been asked, tell you "I'm sober!" as coke dribbles out of their noses like whitewater rapids.

TV reporters who cover Heath Ledger's death without noting that Oxycontin is known as "hillbilly heroin."

Closeted gay celebrities who tell the press, “I have no sex life. I’m too busy for it!”

And Claymates! Though they've been nice enough to come to my blog in droves and lap up all the insults. Hi, dummos!

People at work that get promotions, and don't know what the heck the job entitles. That, then you have to train for the job you wanted!!

Guys who insist on bringing their faghags to leather bars like The Eagle & Rawhide.

Attention whore French tourists who block your way on the street.

Bosses who won't hire you because you're a gay man and not some sexy woman.

Guys online and the phone line who state "drug & disease-free/"

Also guys who say "no fats or femmes"

Or "Straight-acting"

And companies that don't promote good low-level people to higher jobs because they need them to do the important stuff so the people above them can goof off.

Self important asshats who talk loudly on cell phones in elevators, B&T types who set the alarms on their shitty cars to supersensitive and never respond when the alarms go off all night long, hyper defensive queens who miss the point and overreact to lighthearted blog postings, and Billy Crystal Meth.

I hate people over the age of 30 who refuse to address their drinking, smoking, and food addictions continuing to live as if a fix it pill is just around the corner.

Morons who block subway car doors even when there's plenty of room in the car. Hey you jerkoff blocking everyone's way, the recorded message "Please do not block the door while the train is in the station" is meant for you!
