It'll be cold and drizzly outside and we'll be out somewhere... so we run to the car and THEN she starts digging for her keys, like all women do. After fumbling with the keys trying to find the right one for probably 3 minutes, she just COMPLETELY out of nowhere tosses the keys at me. Usually I'm standing there just looking around and get smacked right upside the head with a 20 lb keychain!!! Of course, I unlock the door then push the unlock button before I even sit down so she can get inside, becuase I'm a nice guy like that.

Pretty much every time we go somewhere she'll unlock her door then get in and start the car, look for her chapstick, dig through cds, whatever. Oh yeah, I'm still standing on the other side of the door waiting for her to push the unlock button.

All very funny and dead-on. I feel the same as Slacker. I was recently in line at Arclight theatre in LA, which offers reserved seating (the worst idea to come to movies, or to movie lines.) Two women are in front of me, lingering over the seating chart with self-amused indecision -- totally oblivious of the line behind them. I remind them that they are picking seats, not taking out a mortgage. Furious glances, of course. How dare I!

Hey Guys,
First time I have ever seen this happen: I was pulling into a gas station yesterday and here comes this Brutus charging out of the in driveway...........with the effing hose attached to his truck!!!!!!!
They must be a breakaway design now because there was no leakage at the pump. What a dumb@#$! At least he hung up from his cell call.

p.s I drive whenever my wife and I go somewhere. It's easier than hearing me complain about her driving. She is actually a very safe driver but she refuses to even go 5 over. AARRRGGHH!

True story.

The other day, I went to the grocery store. It was raining lightly and the parking lot was full. I was cruising slowly down an aisle with another car (a BMW) trailing behind me also looking for a spot. In front of me, a woman with one small bag in her hand approached her car and started to fumble for her keys. Without hesitation, I passed her and looked for a spot in the far end of the lot. I did not want to wait for her inevitable get in the car, fix your makeup, make a cell-phone call, start the car routine. The BMW driver waited for the womans spot.

In the store I was in the checkout line and the BMW driver approached me. He had just entered the store. He asked me how I knew that woman was going to take all day to get out of her parking spot. I just smiled. I never wait for a woman to get out of a parking spot. Life is too short.

I was pulling up to the ATM machine on the way to the office this morning and basically got cut off by a woman driving a pickup truck and talking on the cellphone. So, I figure this would be a good chance to catch up on some reading - like maybe finishing off the last half of War & Peace. But, she pulls up, she's got her card out the window before even coming to a stop, inserts that card, boom-boom-boom, out comes the receipt and she's gone!!!! She must have been a lesbian.

That's excellent, Curt. Hopefully, she will pass that along to her "friends".

nice snowstorm, today, eh?

Yeah, I'm getting a little sick of this snow. Just got back from Utah Sat night. Thought I left all the snow there (325+ inches in the mountains!). Apparently, it followed me home .....

Oh Haha · 02-22-2005, 04:42 AM

Yeah, thanks Curt.
Roads were a bit slick this am, too.
I am now ready for spring. The 911 is patiently waiting for the next nice day. Of course, so are the gutters and the tree limbs, etc.

Guys,

Com'on quit moaning about having to deal with this braille stuff, you only have to experience as part of life...I have to deal with it professionally.

I kid you not....I have sat down with local Authority guys about DDA (equivalent to ADA)....I'm doing an Underground car park and in all seriousness the guy insisted on a braille keypad at the entrance gate, high viz contrasting markings for delineation of bays...and largeprint numbers and finished it off with 'its essential to help visually impaired drivers.'

I have now designed an Underground car park that complies with the demands of visually impaired drivers, naturally my Client is delighted at having to spend additional monies to 'assist these drivers' who one so naturally assume are behind the wheel.

What tickles me more is that in the same conversation the same Officer was bemoaning the additional work this DDA compliance was imposing on him......oh the joys of civil servants..
