Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting.

The Penny Pincher 

This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked with my mom's recipe... and she has tried it before and we preferred the kind that she always gets... so as helpful as this advice was... and as someone that appreciates some drugstore makeup over high end... I get it. I love a bargain... but let people pick out their own type of pastas and pasta sauces.

The Bumper Sticker 

So usually whenever I see a bumper sticker- I read it out loud. I read one that said "It's all sh*t's and giggles until somebody giggles and sh*ts." And this was funny and I read it to my parents who thought it was so clever and my mom was so proud of me for coming up with such a clever phrase... and then I told her it was a bumper sticker.

Anyways- a few days ago I went to the mall with my parents and I saw a bumper sticker you don't want to read in front of your parents. I don't really think I want to even post it out on this blog because... it's a little raunchy. It's about riding someone's tail and a suggested thing to do if you're riding someone's tail in another way. It was funny... but I'm glad I paused to read it before I said it out loud.

The Rude Dude 

This isn't really that funny... but anytime I get yelled at as an adult... by an adult... it makes me giggle a little. I was in a busy mall- right by a Starbucks with a lot of tables. There were tons of tables and a lot of people took the extra chairs from the tables so there were empty tables with no chairs. I was going shopping so I didn't mind- but my dad had a drink from starbucks and he was going to watch my shopping bags and edible cookie dough- so I wanted to get a seat for him. And I saw a man sitting alone with a chair. I politely asked him if I could use the chair... he said "it's taken" but it was a loud mall and I thought he said "take it" so I started to pull it. This guy grabbed the chair tightly and said "IT'S TAKEN *#$&@ WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!" Super rude and super angry...

Usually I'm overly apologetic in these situations. I would have walked away embarrassed and said "Oh I'm so sorry." But because of his rude outburst I just walked away and called him a jackass out loud and complained to my dad. His wife or whatever unfortunate woman he was with did eventually come back- but they switched tables after that... He could have just let my dad who was older than this person have the damn chair for a second. Hell he had one bag- if you're young and able bodied- you can get up if you see someone older that needs a chair. I'm sorry- you kind of suck if you don't and I may or may not know someone that's yelled at kids for doing this on subways. Lol.

ANYWAY I'm glad I didn't really apologize to this person... Idk what his problem was- I don't know the guy... I don't know his story... but I can exploit rudeness on the internet a little.

Pitbull 

So one day after grocery shopping- my mom just randomly tells me "You know, I really like Pitbull." I don't remember hearing Pitbull at the grocery store or ever mentioning liking or disliking Pitbull to my mom... but apparently my mom has been a big fan of Pitbull this whole time. A friend of mine went on the Pitbull cruise- and my mom wanted to go too. Lol. Anyway my dad- who pretty much exclusively listens to classic rock downloaded Pitbull's Greatest Hits for my mom for her birthday... and he listened to it without her. "Ohhh so now you like Pitbull too," my mom asked, "No," he replied... and that was just kind of funny. Maybe you need to know my parents for this to be funny... but I think out of the context from these other stories... you can guess!

I think these are my only stories I can think of right now... I hope you guys like this! I'll do more as more things happen.

Bye!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
