- Why does the grocery store by my house have three cheese sections? There is the typical American/Cheddar/Swiss/Dreaded Pre-Shredded Cheese section on one side. In the produce department there is an artisanal cheese case (read: the good stuff) and then, in the middle of the store is a chill chest with cheeses from Mexico, pimento cheese & fresh mozzarella. What the….?
- Tim Tebow is doing a commercial? During the Superbowl? And isn’t about football or academics in Florida? What, pray tell, does he have enough experience in other than these things that he thinks his opinion matters? Or should be used to try and influence the American public? Let me just say this: celebrity endorsements beyond consumer products make me ill. Stay out of politics please. This means you too Brad Pitt. (Side Note: 1987 called and it would like its facial hair back.)
- The lady who came up to me in the office parking lot yesterday and accused me of being at the office too early: What? Come again? Do it again and I’ll mace you, you crazy bat. (Side note: buy some mace.)
- American Idol: does anyone still watch it? Did anyone ever watch it? I just don’t get it.
- Rhett Butler: are you really a picky eater or are you conning your new family something fierce? Rhett Butler likes to take his rejected treats and pile them in front of the refrigerator. An offering, if you will, to the Appliance Gods to please produce some more boiled chicken!
- To the real estate agent who is selling some units in our building that thinks I didn’t hear what she called me under her breath yesterday: I’m sorry I wasn’t nice and used clipped tones towards you in front of a potential buyer. I’m sorry that your assigned parking spot as a contract worker for the building is inconvenient, but if you park your high-end SUV in my spot that I pay for, one more time, I’m going to have you towed. And if I come and find you and then tell you you are parked in my spot ONE MORE TIME and you have the gall to ask me if I need you to move I’m going to complain to the State about your unprofessional conduct. Repeatedly parking in my spot in a private garage and then telling me it is because my spot is more “convenient” than yours makes you a real class act. And by class act I mean an unemployed narcissist.

Thank you. The last paragraph made my day.

love love loved the pile of rejected treats. dogs have the quirkiest behaviors sometimes. if given human food (like, leftovers no one is going to eat), mine will pick out the things she doesn’t like and leave them on the floor. we recently had to start giving her food for senior dogs, and you’re supposed to slowly mix it in with the other dog food and gradually change it over. she decided she liked this new stuff so much better, that she picked out all of the older kind and left it all around her food dish. we were finding pieces of kibble in the dining room for weeks.

Yep. The last issue is one that is close to my own heart, and you handled it more kindly than I would have. The first offense would have garnered a nasty note on the windshield. The second would have seen her towed. She’s lucky you addressed her nicely, more than once. Apparently, she is an idiot if she fails to comprehend that you will not tolerate her taking your paid parking space; one time should have been enough for her to find someone else’s to steal.

Okay…I was starting to wonder if I was the only chick out here that was peeved about the fact that Tim Tebow is going to be doing a commercial during SuperBowl about Abortion! Seriously?!? Just what I’ve always wanted…another man attempting to tell me what to do. Wrong place, wrong time, wrong venue…just plain wrong in my book!
Your Rhett story cracked me up!!
Too cute…
I want to see pictures of the real estate lady’s face when she comes out and her car is towed and your standing there smirking! Loving it!!!

There is nothing worse than coming home after a long/stressful day only to find someone in your spot. Happens to me probably once a week. And our condos have freaking guest spots. That no one ever parks in. I FEEL YOU!
Can you complain to management and try to get her a better spot? Seems like it would be in management’s best interest to not demonstrate for potential buyers how long a walk they have in a garage.

We have a store that also has a chill case of velvetta & sprinkle-type parmesean cheese in the middle of the box/canned food aisles…I don’t get that either. And I think there’s another spot just for cheese whiz.
I watch American Idol. I can’t help it, I’m drawn to it. I love music, that’s the only excuse I really have. Oh, and I love when Simon crushes people’s dreams.

What kind of dog is Rhett Butler? We have yorkie and sometimes he’ll just sit and guard his treats all day. I love dogs and their quirkiness.

Good for you for standing up for the space YOU pay for and SHE does not. Why should Daisy go and talk to management about getting a better parking space for a person who does not live in the building? The real estate agent should take that up for herself instead of passive/aggressively shopping around for tenants too meek to speak up. She should have the worst spot, the people who are paying to live there should have higher priority.

Man oh man that real estate agent would drive me bonkers! You PAY for that spot! I say get her towed next time. That sounds appropriately non-confrontational and I bet it would keep her from trying it again. At least with your spot.
Rhett Butler sounds like he has an adorably complicated personality. What a cutie!
