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!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
