I completely understand that Black people come from everywhere but it totally threw me off when a co-worker who sits not too far from me spoke to me in the parking garage and I was like (well in my head to not her) You sure do talk funny!!! What I actually said was YOU HAVE AN ACCENT!!! Where are you from? She is from England and she is very soft spoken. I honestly hadn’t said more than hello to her in almost a year. I guess in contrast to the woman who sits behind her who is SOO LOUD for no good reason most of the time and who talks incessantly and who chimes in to any conversation within her ear shot. So Miss England Lady is just pleasant and posh BUT who can throw a shady look real fast!! I almost howled out loud one day from one of her looks.
I was just talking to someone about how funny I am about my food. I really don’t like when people stand too close, look at it, OR breathe on it. So I am almost sent right over the edge when I go to Panera. The basic set up at Panera is the same; you order, get your number and then go stand by the wall near the food and wait for it. Just recently I went to the one on RT 40. In addition to my food I ordered a mocha something or another that was a cold drink. Well the little boy took forever to make it and that meant my place on the wall was compromised because even though I was ahead of some people I walked up after them waiting on the little boy who as I think about it might have had some challenges, but hey, we all have to work and he got my order right; but he did feel the need to show me his hair which I really didn’t need to see… but look at me digressing LOL Anyway, we were all doing well UP UNTIL the little girl needed to stand right at the counter and ask questions. No ma’am sir!! All your questions needed to be directed to the cashier who is NOT handling my food so please just stand over here near me on this wall. At the Panera in Pikesville during lunch time they usually have an expediter meaning a person who stands there and makes sure the order is correct. This is great there because the little old people like to stand RIGHT THERE and breathe all over everybody’s stuff. I always want to elbow them in the side and be like JUST MOVE!! But I can’t be hurting the geriatrics. So I try to hit that one either early or late but not during the rush.
I’m putting this is in at the request of one of my crazy friends. There is a shuttle that goes around to all 6 buildings because I work on a campus. When we stepped out of building 6 and the shuttle was right there so naturally I said LET’S GET ON! Now mind you we both work in building 5 so it was literally less than a block BUT to my defense it’s up hill and we had food or wait I was the only one with food AND that is what the drivers gets paid to do, shuttle folks! He don’t care if it’s from building 1 to 4 or in my case 6 to 5. My friend who shall remain nameless, cause you know, I try to protect the innocent was SO OUTDONE!! She tried to act real embarrassed LOL but she hopped her happy ass on the shuttle with me!!!
My mom is a total flirt! There was this one time (at band camp) this was many years ago in Downtown Woodlawn. We went to the Chinese restaurant and she missed the step coming out of the restaurant and went tumbling down. This is before the BIG fall (that would be the whole right shoulder replacement) so it was funny! Like DAMN lady how did you get down there? My sister and I and I think my nephew too tried to help her up but then this burly man came up and she shooed us away so that she could be his damsel in distress. She had this big cheesy grin on her face like THANK YOU KIND SIR!!! So fast forward to this past Saturday, she is in the wheelchair at the rehab facility and she is explaining to me that the trees needed to be pruned. I disagreed with her and she didn’t like my answer. So a guy, one of the regular visitor (turns out both his parents are there) came by and she asks him if he thought the trees needed pruning and he said yes and that they are way overdue. He walks away and she gets this look on her face and then she say in just above a whisper come on back here!! I said WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM HIM?!?! And she says is a fake seductive voice I just wanna talk to HIM!!! SO I'm sitting there BOTH of us are laughing cause like do you really think you got some game lady??!? O mean she act like she still got IT and far be it for me to say she don't LOL
I really need to know if this is just me. SO today i decide that even though it is a rainy gloomy and just all around horrible day, that it is a good day for a pedicure. So I go to a place that a girlfriend of mine goes. I go in, pick my color and wait for the little girl to say come on back. We pass a little pod of 6 chairs. I am facing the woman who looks like droopy the dog with her wig on that I'm sure she bought last year and her glasses all the way at the tip of her nose, then there was another woman who I couldn't see getting her feets worked on. We go to the next pod where there was a man working on a woman's feet, a woman working on a man's feet and another random man sitting in one of the chairs. I told the little girl can we go back to the other one with no men?!? Now I think I have said this before but I'll go ahead and say it again... Men absolutely should get pedis, manis, facials and whatever other metrosexual thing they think they need to keep themselves together BUT it does not need to be at the same time as when I need to get those same services. It just throws me all the way off and if I have the choice then no I want to sit with the other women please!
