5. When I was eight months pregnant |
|
my wedding ring didn't fit anymore. I was 23, but looked about 16. An elderly lady came up to me in the grocery store lecturing me about how she CERTAINLY hopes I'm going to give up my baby for adoption, because a child deserves a mother AND a father.
I said "My baby has a father!"
She said, "Well, it deserves to grow up with one around. And YOU should finish school."
I looked at her and said "Just how old do you think I am? I'm a HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER. I'm 23 and a college graduate. I'm married."
She was so damn embarrassed. She sort of slinked away.

65. Some people seriously have a lot of balls. Once when I was feeding my |
|
daughter (a bottle of formula), some elderly lady came up to me and said "you know, you really ought to try to breastfeed, it's better than formula". I looked at her and said nothing. I was so upset and near tears by then (I had failed in the breastfeeding department and it was something I was extremely sensitive to). People shouldn't ASSume because it makes them look like jackasses.
Balls, big brass ones I tell you.

you weren't feeding her expressed breastmilk?
For that matter, you could have had an illness incompatible with breastfeeding. You could have had breast cancer. You could have been taking a medicine that precluded breastfeeding.
Maybe the baby was adopted. Maybe the baby was on a prescription formula due to medical issues.
People like that DO NOT do anything positive as far as breastfeeding advocacy. All they do is turn people off.

24. I can't believe how many times I read this one |
|
In various discussion groups and blogs. Either claiming they didn't contribute after 9/11 or more often, the Florida Hurricanes. It's like asking what Tiny Tim made for Christmas dinner.
No disrespect for folks in Florida who had to endure hardship, but for the most part, comparing a guy who had to wait a few months for the insurance check for roof repairs to the massive losses in Asia is just really sick.
FWIW - I don't have a link or the numbers, but after large natural disasters in the USA, I have read that the foreign embassies of 3rd world countries (even countries like Bangladesh) DO make humanitarian contributions. The amounts are not large, but more than most individuals would make. People never take into consideration that there are always far more urgent humanitarian crisis at home for these countries.

... what the hell are they supposed to contribute? Are they supposed to provide their building expertise and build shanties out of the rubble for the victims families? The majority of the country lives on less than $2 a day.

8. Another time I went to a fast food place to get stuff for lunch |
|
for most of my office. I was reading off the orders from a piece of paper. It was like 9 combo meals.
The guy said "Will that be for here or to go?"
Pause. "Um, I'll eat all that HERE."
He pressed the here button and I said "I was kidding! I ordered about 9 meals! I'm by myself, I can't eat all that! It's to go."

71. That reminds me of a radio story. Well, sort of radio story. |
|
During my radio career, I was at a nightclub one evening with a couple of friends, having a few drinks and enjoying myself. At one point, while on my way to the restroom, I found myself being followed by a gaggle of girls who recognized me. I heard them talking behind me as I entered the bathroom. ("Is that Cathy ----- ?" "Yes, I think that's her!")
I locked myself in a stall. No sooner had I done so when someone banged on the door. "Are you Cathy ----- from ---- radio station? Say something RADIO!"
I said, "You're listening to ---- radio, Stevens Point/Wausau. I'm Cathy ----, AND I'M TRYING TO GO PEE HERE!"

Edited on Tue Jan-18-05 07:24 PM by Bouncy Ball
Please don't throw things at me, but in my lovely school district you could take World History OR World Geography. I chose World History (and loved it).
But....I....never really looked at maps too closely.
So as a SOPHOMORE in college, and an English major, I raised my hand in class one day and asked the professor why all these British authors always refer to "the continent."
He said, "Well, continental Europe."
I must have still looked confused, because he said "Since Europe is separate."
Another student said "You know, because England is an island."
I ACTUALLY LAUGHED and said "Yeah, RIGHT! England isn't an ISLAND!!!"
Dear me. The professor didn't even think I was serious at first.
I don't think I looked up for the rest of that class and I sat in the back from then on. I know now. It's separate.
(It also explained the whole English Channel thing. I went back to my apartment and started looking at maps more closely.)

20. From my younger bar hopping days... |
|
I had a friend with the exact same first name as me and we would go out together. One night at a bar a guy came over to talk to us, buy us a drink, and asked our names. When we told him our names, he said "Are you twins?"
My answer was much nicer but I was thinking: Yes you idiot, we are twins that look absolutely nothing alike, with really unimaginative parents that could only think of one name.

with their taxes (it's what I do) and I told them to go to page twelve (the pages are numbered).

"No I don't see it, this one says thirteen."
"Ma'am, the pages are consecutively numbered for your convenience."
"Oh here it is. It was on the *back* of eleven."
This is not a particularly rare type of conversation for me, either.

|
"Are you going to go on welfare?" (Yes. I'm going to quit my well-paying job with benefits at a good company so that I can go on welfare. ???)
Also during that pregnancy, upon meeting a former co-worker at church:
She, seeing my 8-month pregnant belly: I didn't know you had gotten married.
Me: I didn't.
She, sneering: Oh. Well, since you're having a bastard, I'm afraid I can't offer you congratulations.
And the doozy question during that pregnancy, froma neighbor of my mother's:
She: Do you know who the father is? (Gee, lady, I suspect it's the fellow with whom I've been living for two years.)

38. When I lived in Japan |
|
friends back here in the USA asked some of the strangest things. Most of the time, I didn't mind, as they stemmed from a natural curiosity to know about the Far East, and because they knew I wouldn't laugh at them (to their faces, anyway).
By far, the funniest things came from two different college chums. The first asked how close I was to Singapore. The second asked if I walked the Great Wall for fun. The thing is, each of these people thought that Singapore AND the Great Wall were in Japan.
I. just. didn't. know. what. to. say.
Again, it's better you ask than continue to be ignorant.

66. "which one is the state...." |
|
"....Philadelphia or Pennsylvania?"
I'm not kidding. An adult said this. I was on a date with it, too. Kind of a turn off...

72. "I SWEAR Ben Franklin was a president!" |
|
One of the my classmate in our requires social studies class last year. He was looking at a poster of all the past presidents and asked me where Benjamin Franklin was. I preceded to tell him that Ben Franklin was never a president. It took him a while to believe this. He SWORE to me that he KNEW he was.:wow:
Might I add that he was also one of the biggest B*sh supporters in school this year. But that's to be expected!!!;-)

73. "...and that's why my uterus is around my knees now!" |
|
Okay, so I was working on a show last spring. I'm carrying a big wooden box outside to spraypaint black. The director was not only insane, but morbidly obese.
I'm 5'1" and about 100lbs. She was my height, but well, much larger than me. The box I was carrying was really big & heavy, but I'm a "glorified stockboy" at my non-theatre job so I lift more than half my weight regularly. It's all good. She sees me doing this and she goes, "You better be careful. I was just like you at your age. Running up & down ladders, carrying equipment, etc and that's why my uterus is around my knees now!" I had a major "what the fuck?!?!" moment that was shared with the other coworkers outside with me.
She later tried to explain that women were delicate and that because she didn't realize her delicate nature in her younger years, she was now obese. Nearly a year later, I'm still confused.

76. Quite a few goodies here |
|
1) At Applebee's, my friend and I were the first patrons there after opening. Not another customer was even on the same block.
Hostess: Would you like smoking, non-smoking, or first available? Friend: What's the wait for first available?
2) After ordering only 4 milk shakes at the McDonalds drive-thru, the McAutoPilot asked us if we needed any ketchup or salt with our order
3) On a late season rafting trip, two 15 year old girls were the hit of the trip.
Q: Does the river run in a circle? Guide: Yes. We place pumps every mile to keep the water moving
Q: Why is the water so low? Guide: It was much higher last week, but people were getting hurt so our insurance company asked us to drain some of the water out to make it safer.
Q: Did you tell the owner there were too many rocks in the river? Me: Yes, and he agreed. He said the guys who delivered the rocks last week left too many, so they are coming out Tuesday to pick up the extras.

78. "How much protein is in the cheesesticks?" |
|
From a freeper type co-worker. She asked this after I informed her that the cheesesticks had 30 grams of fat.
So, that explains the vote for Bush, after all he has done wrong.
