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!
