Oh, and...I would still feel really bad if the person got fired. Life is hard, here. In some kind of fantasy world, I'd just want her to have a pic of me with the caption "don't be rude to this girl, or else we will fire you!"

Besides, one time she was nice. We also have to acknowledge the fact that I shouldn't be eating at Jack in the Box that much anyway...

I did have someone fired once, there was this creepy cleaning guy who would stare and stare and kept walking by my cube over and over. I had to report him.

Imagine the complete and total loss of blood in my body at that moment. I wanted to die. I should've said something smartass, which is typically what I do. Instead, I just shook my head and we went on our way, but talk about an awkward moment for me and my brother. It totally ruined the entire day. I wanted to do nothing else but go home alone and lay in the bed.

Aww, some people are such idiots. It is interesting how he phrased is bashing though, isn't it? Methinks thou dost protest too much.

An 11 year old walking towards me, on the street in Oakland said, "Hey mama, mmmm, your lookin' good!" He looked serious, it freaked me out, and then it cracked me up.

Here are two first date stories involving out-loud statements:

I went on a date with a guy who was really trying to impress me with his BMW bike, and, I don't know, his costly leathers. Anyway, we went to see the movie Ghost, and I was sort of rolling my eyes at the predictable good white man go to heaven/ bad man with an accent go to hell thing. So when a "bad man" died, I was ready for the wraithlike devil dogs to come and get him, and I meant to say "hounds of hell", but I said "Ok, here come the dogs of hell", and the wiener (I mean, date) turned to me and said "Um, I believe the correct term is hounds of hell"
ding. Date Over.

Around the same time I went out with a Swiss guy who was super nice, but super exuberant, and a little arrogant like the "wild and crazy guys" from Saturday Night Live. On the day of our first real date, we were in the school computer lab [insert sound of many people typing] the Swiss guy turned to me and said, grinning, "Let's have sex tonight! Would you like that?" [All typing ceases in computer lab]

Yours rock. And, your Oakland 11 year old experience went nicely with my current Oakland "I wish that bike was my face" experience that prompted me to start this thread.
Swedish guy is the best.

Yeah, Swedish guy is the winner so far. Here's something I just came acrross in this text book I'm working on:

To use a style of software development called POOP (procedural object-oriented programming) instead of OOP, one can define all methods as static and then pass needed information in through parameters.

And your problem is?

Thanks - I meant to point out that your post made me think of the Oakland incident. Also, I think the bike/butt comment was a compliment, albeit an unwelcome one.

That's awesome!
We have been doing some "procedural object-oriented programming" here in my house recently, called "toilet training". My son's got the procedure down, but doesn't quite get orienting the object yet.

the only circumstance i can recall is a crudy one
my bro had not long before broke his neck
we were walking downtown tempe
his walking was impeded with a limp
a bum approached us and rammed my bros
shoulder and said "what are you, drunk?"
every part of my being wanted to kill him

Believe it or not, it's a she. First woman I've ever worked for, and I'm not sure I'd want to work for another one. I was in the middle of my grief, I mean, it wasn't even a year after he died. I was pretty much zombie like during the first year, and I wasn't preforming up to par at work (hard to believe- I know

) Anyhow, we were in a preformance review, and we were talking about how this had affected me ... then she said it. I mean, what do you say back?? I remember telling her that I hope she had supportive people around her if she was ever widowed. That's all I remember. Ya, she's a real troll. She thinks I've got all this damn money, and I think she hates me for it.

Once when I was like 5, I was at the post office with my grandma and this heavy lady came in behind us and I held the door for her and she said what a sweet boy. I looked at my grandma and said "Grandma, she's kinda fat." my grandma said to shut up, and I said "well then she shouldnt eat so much." The poor lady I was talking about wasn't very heppy to say the least...

I guess there is no "appropriate response" to a comment that insensitive and inane. I mean, having a little cushion is a small consolation after losing your husband.

I have found female bosses to be difficult in my experience. I don't know why but they seem to dislike me right off the bat.
