I went to Home Depot today and bought 35-80 pound bags of concrete. The problem with that was that I was only supposed to take 10 bags at a time in my Granpappy's truck. So I had to go to the desk and tell them that so they could mark it down (so they didn't think I was stealing on my return trips, duh).
So I walk up to the desk and the fat, older gentlemen behind the counter says, "What can I do for you?"
"Well," I reply "I need to have you mark off-"
*enter another fat, older man*
"Hank! How are the fish biting up there at the lake?"
"Oh, they're alright. The men say that they're biting in the morning and evening alright, but not during the day..."
blahblahblahblahblah.
Seriously. He offered to help then made me wait AT LEAST 5 minutes while he talked to some other dude about fishing. I'm a pretty patient guy, and if it had been something important, NO BIG DEAL. But SERIOUSLY?!? FISHING?!?
I'm sorry mister fat guy that is pathetic enough to be working a job that pays no more than 9 bucks an hour so you can afford that gym pass that you don't use because you're too busy watching fishing on tv because you can't afford a boat and reel yourself because you work a crappy job. Next time, I'll try not to interrupt your social time when I'm in a hurry and have to haul over 2,000 pounds of concrete. I would hate to be a bad customer.

Speechless.
I log onto Facebook, just like any other day. Like any other day, I check to see if I have any new notifications (I don't), and then check birthdays. Then I check the news feed. Like any other day, there are a few conversations going on to the affect of "OmG! u CrZy BoI!" and "zomg! I no, rite!?!!?"
However, today one particular post catches my eye. *ahem* "I just want to roll you up into a little ball and shove you in my vagina."
Let us dissect this sentence.
"I just want"
This is fairly simple- a hyperbolic statement that lets us know that the following statement is going to be true only to an extent.
"to roll you into a little ball"
This tells us that she's being silly, cause we all know it's impossible to roll someone into a little ball.
"and shove you in my vagina."
......excuse me. I'm feeling the sudden need to regurgitate the mac 'n cheese and vitamin water I had earlier.
So this has a few possibilities. Perhaps she wants the other person quite literally IN her vagina. Sexually, that is. Or perhaps she hates the person and wants to stick them in her vagina because no person in their right mind would enjoy/want/be able to live in her vagina. But what it PROBABLY means is that she was feeling absolutely unoriginal and uncreative and she thought that the crudest, most off the wall thing to say would be funny. Perhaps the hyperbolic statement applied to this and tells us that it's not the ONLY thing she wants. Let your mind wander on that one- I'll wait right here and try to turn my brain off.........................
Does anybody else find it ridiculous that our society is based so much around sexuality and crude humor that people think it's actually acceptable to say things like this to each other on a website that they KNOW other people look at and have access to? I mean, it's bad enough for someone to say these kinds of things in a private email, but on a website that they KNOW broadcasts everything they say to all their friends? Give me a freaking break.
Is it really that much to ask for people to start thinking about things before they say them? I think not.
