My comment of the day---

Lady at church comes up to me and says "Wow you are way bigger than you were with your last one!"

I honestly didn't know what to say other than "Thanks...but I actually feel smaller."

I blame reality TV. Seriously, I think it started with the Springer/Povich type shows and reality TV happened that it has caused people to not realize that there are supposed to be social filters.

They're so used to voting people off the island in their living rooms (and all of the reasons why they're being voted off the island) that they just feel free to do it everywhere.

Some people just don't think when they open their mouths. This exchange happened to me when I was about 18 and working my way through school at a local paint store.



Painter: "How old are you?"

Me: "Uh, 18...why?"

Painter: "Really? You're 18. And you're not married yet?"

Me (laughing 'cuz I thought the old fart was either joking or flirting...either way, ew.): "Uh, no."

Painter: "Well, why not? What's wrong with you? Both of my daughters were married by the time they were 17." (Yes, to their first cousins, I found out later.)

Me (appalled because I just realized he was serious): "Nothing is 'wrong', I'm just not ready yet." (trying to be nice and not scream "HILLYBILLY!" at him.)

Painter: "You sure 'bout that?"

Me (so incredibly done with this conversation): "How come you're fat?"

Painter (all sorts of offended): "Well, that's kind of a personal question, don't ya think?"

Me ( ): "Yes, it is. So is what you've been asking me."



It took him a while get that one...jerk. Just reason #6,534,857,345,345 why I hated working in retail.
