Whatever Happened to Peace, Love, and Understanding?

Today I got lost. I was trying to drive to the Crossgates Mall today to purchase a semi-formal dress to wear to the Senior Class Gala Dinner tomorrow. Instead I ended up on the NY Thruway which was scary. I also learned that tollbooth guys are mean and don't like to give directions to stupid college girls.

Melissa : [pulling up to the tollbooth and handing over ticket] Ummm...I'm afraid I'm horribly lost. Can you tell me how to get to the Crossgates Mall?
Toll Booth Guy: [taking ticket] thirty cents please...
Melissa: oh yeah...here you go. [waits for directions]
Toll Booth Guy: [stares] You can go now [points towards the green light]
Melissa: You're not going to tell me how to get to the mall??
Toll Booth Guy: [shakes his head] Not my job.
Melissa: Oh! Okay...sorry. [meekly rolls up window and drives away]...asshole.

No worries, I made it to the mall anyway. I'm just going to assume that the toll booth guy was having a bad day. Or just hates his job. Or had gas. Or anything but the fact that he must be a horrible human being with no compassion for a lost and frightened girl...asshole.

I did not succeed in finding a dress. Boo. However, I did get a business suit for my interviews (score!). It was on sale! (sweet!) 35% off! (yay!). Don't know what i'm going to do about the dress though. Maybe I'll show up in jeans.
