Loathsomeness personified
I'll be the first to admit that some of the posts on this blog are pretty thin. After all, I have two jobs and a social life that occasionally goes flat for a few days. But there are some post ideas that are so lame and so half-formed that I delete them before they ever reach any of the Internets. Going Out Guru Janet, a loathsome lady whom DCeiver disliked before I ever bothered to notice her maximum suckitude, would have been better off tossing this post:
"Maybe it's just me, but I have spent the last two weekends in search of shoes and have found the selection and quality sorely lacking. I covered a lot of territory, including DSW, Nine West, Kenneth Cole, Coach, Cole Haan, Hecht's and Nordstrom. (The last stop was particularly disappointing because the Seattle-based chain started out in the shoe biz and normally gets kudos for its huge selection of styles and prices.) I also find it practically impossible to find narrow shoes, and when I ask salespeople about it, they look at me as if I'm from Mars. Anybody else having a hard time?"
That's the whole thing. Janet can't find shoes she likes in her size and instead of doing a little research, like, you know, a Washington Post employee is paid to do, she issues a bleg to all narrow-footed women anywhere. Now, I'm not above asking for advice (although I do so sparingly and only as a last resort), but I'll stop as soon as I get a regular check.
So Janet, next time you think about posting, ask yourself this question: "Would I put up with giant animated ads for Vonage to read this?"

The funny thing is, that post received a lot more comments (serious comments) than any of their other yawn-inducing posts....

Janet sucks. Could she be more worthless?!!
Washington, D.C.: I've been looking into treating myself to a facial and massage for graduation.....Any suggestions...I heard nusta spa on 20th is good..Anyone been there?
Janet: I have no real experience with Nusta, but I have heard that the interior design there is really fab. Worth a trip for sure. Let us know how you fare.
