Shut Up, Long Island
Long Island’s citizens are getting restless without power — because it’s been like, WHAT, 48 whole hours. Who says Americans are spoiled? Well, everyone. But one lady on Long Island has had enough of her neighbors:
My favorite was the lady who asked “Who is going to reimburse me for the $500 worth of food I bought right before the storm that is rotting in my fridge?”
Ok, who is going to be the first for calling you a moron for buying $500 worth of perishable food right before a hurricane? ME! Let me call you a moron. MORON! You go out and buy food that won’t last without electricity and then you want someone to reimburse you for it? I’m sorry, but LIPA didn’t conjure up hurricane Irene with its apparent magical powers and they are certainly not to be held responsible for your stupidity.
Then there’s the lady on Facebook bitching that “I was driving to the store yesterday and I saw some LIPA workers sitting by their truck EATING LUNCH! THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FIXING OUR POWER NOT EATING ON COMPANY TIME!”
So these guys who are mostly working around the clock to get your power back to you were EATING? HOLY CRAP THEY TOOK TIME OUT FROM CUTTING UP TREES AND CLIMBING POLES AND REPAIRING WIRES AND RESTORING POWER TO EAT? OH MY GOD, FIRE THEM ALL.
Could be worse, whiners. You could be in Vermont.
