Texas

I’m not sure what it is about people who think they can say whatever the hell they want and not be held accountable for what foul words that were typed from their keyboards… Like, what compelled this person to post so openly something that anyone with half a brain would take to their manager?

Take, for example, the tale of a now-former waitress at a Texas Roadhouse restaurant in Colorado. Earlier this month, she vented through her since-shuttered Twitter account that “If we had a real life purge I would kill as many Mexicans as I could in one night,” followed by a hashtag expressing her apparent anger over tips.

Followed by:

For her part, the fired server has attempted to express her regret, via a statement posted on Facebook:

“I wrote hurtful, inconsiderate, insensitive and careless words and I understand the amount of people I have offended by that,” she explains. “There are no excuses for what I have done. I sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, apologize to everyone for my momentary lack of judgment. I want you all to know that I do not actually feel this way.”

Or to read between the lines:

“I wrote hurtful, inconsiderate, insensitive and careless words that I thought I would get away with if it weren’t for you meddling twitter followers, and I understand the amount of people I have offended by that,” “There are no excuses for what I have done. I sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, apologize to everyone for my momentary lack of judgment for not anonymously posting on 4chan. I want you all to know that I do not actually feel this way. I’m just saying this so I won’t end up a homeless racist bag of salted dicks.”

I really don’t get the whole rise in this sort of behavior. I see kids talking like this, then I see adults like her and it confirms to me that people never truly grow up mentally. It all comes down to maturity or lack thereof.

Edit: I found another stupid ass story involving people using those special carts at Wal-Mart, thought I’d give it a dishonorable mention rather than make another thread about stupid for such a short subject:

• Sept. 2014: The Michigan shoplifter who managed to get a full two miles away from the store before being caught. Her explanation for taking the scooter? She “didn’t feel like walking.”

• Aug. 2014: The New Mexico man who was sent back to prison after driving a stolen Walmart scooter to his meeting with his probation officer. 

• July 2012: The Louisiana man charged with a DUI for driving a Walmart scooter down a public street with a blood-alcohol level nearly twice the legal limit. Oh yeah, he was also towing a friend seated in a wheelchair.

• Sept. 2011: The woman in upstate New York who “borrowed” a Walmart scooter for her personal use… for 11 days.
