Ladies and Gents, I'm going straight down the tubes today and it's not even 9 am!

I drove my big, gas guzzling SUV to work today. I made a phone call without a handsfree device, and I put on lipstick and lipliner at the 2nd and thirds lights. Oh, and I was late to work because I was chatting it up with the Starbucks boy whose Mrs. Robinson I'd like to be- all the while holding up the drive through line.


EEEEEK!!!

edit: and see how screwed up I am today. I posted this in the wrong stinking thread!

This made me laugh. I hope your lipstick stays on all morning.
I am a little worried about you using your cell while driving........did you get any lipstick on it? UUhhh, I would go back to Starbucks at lunchtime if the morning doesn't get any better for you. Is there anyone out there who doesn't know who Mrs. Robinson is?

In fact Gini, it is now 10:57 and my lipstick is still hanging in there - it's MAC- the best.
The cell phone managed to stay free of the lipstick. I made the call before applying. However, I confess that my handsfree headset does have lipstick residue on the mouthpiece from previous applications!

And the Starbucks boy is very cute for a youngun but he's painfully slow and possibly not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

For all those who don't know, Mrs Robinson is the older woman in The Graduate who has an affair with a younger man.

Now that stupid song will be in my head all day!!

Oh, great. Mine too, now. And I hate that song.

Well...... at least it's a happy song

How about people who call themselves "animal lovers" yet are really mean to other people?! HELLLLOOOOO - people are animals too!

People who grill you with a million questions after everything you say. For example I say "I work tomorrow". "Oh yeah - what time? What time are you leaving? Which car are you taking? Then what's Allie going to drive? Are you going to sleep here or in Iron River? What unit are you working in? Who else is working? Are you going to take that assignment at Dickinson? Why are you still at Iron County? When do you start school?"

The proper response to "I work tomorrow" would be "Oh - me too" or "Oh - I'm off tomorrow" and maybe one question. Interrigation isn't warranted!

Women/girls (usually teenagers but sometimes even older women) who talk in a fake voice! What's the point?

Fake smiles.

Fake laughs.

Pretending to care about things that you don't care about.

Can you tell I'm mad at someone?

I can! But the question is.............at WHO?!?

[Kfamr]

How can you talk in a "fake" voice?

I'm an animal lover, but I hate *most* people...

[2kitties]

Good question Kfamr. Maybe sort of like Madonna, now that she has the british accent- you know she's from Detroit!

[Kfamr]

So if I talked like a New Yorker, you'd consider me having a "Fake voice" Since i'm from Florida....

I never knew there was such thing as a "fake" voice lmao ;x

[2kitties]

I guess so. I'm Southern but I live in Wisconsin. If I all of a sudden stopped using my southern accent and purposefully rounded my o's and used Wisconsin slang- maybe that would be fake. I suppose it would.

But, I think what she was really talking about was someone who, for instance, sounds sappy sweet when they're really being bitchy.

I have no idea. We'll have to wait and hear from her. I was basically just making a joke with the Madonna thing. My jokes never go over well- I am the worlds worst joke teller!!!

Tough crowd.

[stacwase]

Oh - this relative of mine. She's driving me nuts. She'll be talking along in her regular voice then a waitress will come along to take her order or whatever and she'll put on this stupid childlike high voice and fake smile and act all shy. She's the least shy person I've ever met.

And ever since I've known her she's HATED dogs but now, suddenly, she's pretending like she's interested in them because it's the "in" thing in her little crowd. They're cute little accessories, you know.

And she HATES kids! She has never shown any interest in them. But she has this sister-in-law who she's trying to show up. So she picks up her sister-in-law's kids and brings them over here and talks bad about her mothering skills etc. etc. All the while she's ignoring the kids and I'm taking care of them. In fact - she drops them off with me! And I can't ignore the sweet little guys - but she doesn't even tell me she's coming! She just shows up kids in hand like she's doing me a huge favor!

Ugh.

I think, perhaps, I may be PMSing.

[Kfamr]

Hehehehe...

Whenever I come back from Tennesee, I end up sounding "country" -- I can't help it thought because once you're aorund people who talk like that, it rubs off on you.

[Kfamr]

I suppose that's who you're mad at then?

I talk differently around people I know as opposed to someone I don't know. When i'm around people I know, I talk normal.

When i'm around people I don't know -- I normally talk higher, clearer, and more intelligent as to when around people I do know, I talk relaxed and laid back I guess.

[lovemyshiba]

How about fake people??
grrrrrrr......

I thought of another when I went for my coffee this morning----

YELLOW CARS

They bother me. If it's a sports car, fine. But don't buy your family sedan in a bright yellow--it's just not right. I saw one Mazda 6 in bright yellow, and a Saturn in bright yellow--why does someone want anyone noticing their Saturn (sorry if anyone has one)??
Corvette--fine. BMW or Benz convertible--fine. Honda s2000--fine.

But not your family truckster, come one people
