You were distracted!
I was at the Portland Zoo a couple weeks ago with the family, around noon, and there was absolutely no parking anywhere.
Millennial: "Can I borrow your pen?"
Teflon: "Here."
Millennial: "Awesome!!!"
Teflon [Ordered meal 15 minutes ago]: "Food looks great! Can we get some silverware and napkins please?"
Teflon [Finished meal 15 minutes ago]: "Can we get the bill please?"
Teflon [5 minutes later]: "Thank you."
Server: "No problem."
Teflon: "Wow, It's finally cooling off."
Anyone: "I know, right?"
Teflon: "I've been putting off some yard work for two weeks."
Anyone: "I know, right?"
Teflon: "Not that I'm super anxious to dig a sprinkler line..."
Anyone: "I know, right?"
Mike Did you know all zoos are petting zoos? You just have to more careful in some zoos. .You have my sympathies. We tried that a couple years ago, in March. It was drizzling. Same situation. Screw their zoo.
"My bad."You forgot the ever maddening "Sweet." An example; Hey, you just stepped in dog poop, "Sweet"
I'm used to it at Cabelas. It's like being asked 'paper or plastic'. I agree with most of their charities, and it keeps debased silver out of my pocket.CLT - Thanks!
A new PP: Being begged when I'm at the purchase point at various stores.
It happens at Cabelas.
In the city there are two types of drivers, Jerks and Idiots.
The ONLY way to avoid being swamped by the idiots.....is to drive like a jerk.
My heart sings a joyous song every time the scenery changes from buildings to trees.
Another pet peeve that might offend some here, though I really don't mean to: the prevalence of profanity.
It's a cultural thing, our society is changing. It seems there's little room for civility and propriety any more. I don't have sensitive ears or any particular problem with profanity in general, but in times past it was different. It wasn't everywhere, in your face at all times.
I can't walk through the grocery store without hearing teenage girls talking like sailors. I'll see articles online with profanity. I was dropping my kids off at church a couple years ago for a kids program, and stood behind a young guy who was dropping kids off too. His T-shirt had a four letter word the size of his chest covering it. Really?! In church, at a kid's program?! I don't know whether he was clueless, or being deliberately offensive.
I do have a relevant question. It seems there are plenty of people now for whom profanity is not profane, but rather everyday language. Curse words aren't even slightly harsh or offensive. There's no shock factor at all because they use them in literally every sentence. My question is, how do these people cuss? What do they say when they stub their toe or hit their finger with a hammer? When the coarse words have lost their edge, what do you say when you need to express some coarseness?
