are you F'IN KIDDING ME (stupid people) running thread

This is more sarcasm, but after several wine tastings I laughed my ass off. I went with three of my friends on a wine tour yesterday and we stopped a very nice eatery at one of the vineyards. This is how the exchange went between on of my friends -- who is comedy gold in any situation.

Young Hostess: Sir how many in your group?

Friend: 78

Young Hostess: (blushing and giggling) Just four then?

Friend: Yes. Do you serve wine here?

 

Sorry, but this one kinda bugged me. There could have been more people coming and she was just doing her job, but hey, why not give her shit for no reason?

 

She laughed. And then she told us that people seriously asked her if they served wine.

 

Buh... buh... buh ... they make a hamburger a beautiful thing...

 

Every time I am buying groceries and the checkout person has to prompt the person in front of me about the proper way to use their card.

Enter the pin...

You need to sign...

Come on. You only use this fucking card about 100 times a year.

They are also the same people who take outtheir cards or money AFTER the teller has told them what they owe.

Come on. Did you think this shit was free?

 

Good for her. Sounds like she has the right attitude. Still don't think she deserved the sarcasm.

 

Same thing except substitute card with 'old lady with checkbook' and you've nailed it. That kills me more than anything. I've even been behind one who asked the cashier who to make it out to. "You're in the dang grocery story. Their logo is only plastered on over square inch of the building you just spent an hour in"

 

Get over yourself.

 

Am I supposed to feel sorry for this woman?

Her car -- that she parked in a handicapped spot, because of her husband's handicap -- is moved one block for security reasons.

And instead of walking around the block to find it, she's mad that the D.C. Police didn't find it fast enough.

This has happened to me twice, once in Manhattan when Clinton was President & had dinner at a restaurant near where I was parked, and once in Chicago because of a film shoot (having nothing to do with the President, just the same kind of thing).

In each instance, there was a moment of panic when I thought my car was gone, but both times the cops told me to look round for it, because it probably hadn't been towed far.

Each time, I found it within a block or so. It took a few minutes & I was on my way.

I can't imagine just sitting around for a day while expecting the police to find the car for me.

I could see a local paper doing a story on something like this if it had happened in a small town during a campaign trip, but I don't understand the Washington Post writing it up. This kind of thing must happen all of the time in D.C.

 

My wife sets the emergecy brake almost everytime she gets out of the car.

Mind you we have an automatic, and you have to create a y=mx+z graph the size of a scoreboard to illustrate the slope of the ground in Virginia.

Drives me nuts.
