Little Friday humor

I have my moments of forgetfulness, but the one I am about to tell you about is taking the cake.

Couple of weeks ago, I went to the Gas station to fill my tank up. I went into the Gas station to pay for it, since it is pay first then pump. I hand the Clerk the money, leave the Building and hop in my car and drive off. Took me till the next light just before the highway to realize that my little gas light is still on and that I did not pump any gas.

So I turn around, pull back into the Gas station, go inside and the Clerk looks at me and starts laughing. ” Wondered how long it would take you to realize you didn’t get any gas”. Pretty embarassing for me, especially when there is a line of guys, looking at me and smirking and probably thinking ” typical woman”.

Anyway I got my Gas, but from that point on, if I go to that Gas station and that particular clerk is working, she throws in this friendly reminder: ” Don’t forget to pump your gas”. Thank you very much!

People watching..

Yes I do it.  And no not in a creepy way. But I tend to do that a lot. Be it in the check out line at the Store, in a crowd, at work , or as a spectator at a sports event.

I watch people and think to myself what that person is thinking off at that particular time. Where he or she lives, what kind of personality they might have or what kind of family life and so on.

Then you also have those  thoughts like, why would they dress like that or why would they wear those ugly shoes with that, what possessed them to get a hair do like that, the kind of questions only a woman would concern herself with. I don’t think guys stand in line wondering about the guy in front them, on what size of toolbelt he has at home. Does he have the one that carries everything including the lunch box or just 3 tools, hammer, screwdriver and pliers? Or if he is a Packers or Cowboys fan? Or that he definately needs some new sneakers.

At work during lunch in the lunch room I watch my co-workers on how they set up their Lunches a certain way, or arrange things to their liking. Are they like this at home too? Do they have a certain routine they follow when they sit down to eat? Why do some talk to themselves when they perform a task?

But with all that people watching I also learn about them. I remember things about my friends their likes and their dislikes without asking, remembering just in the way they react. I learn certain things about my co-workers that I probably would never know if I would not watch them sometimes do certain things.

Now does this apply also to random people you watch in a crowd? Probably not. But it is still fun to just guess. I am just wondering if people out there have done the same to me. Good luck on trying to figure me out, I have not figured myself out yet.

My little rant for today

Okay, I know a lot of people with all the stuff that I am involved in ( Little League, Band Parents, Softball) and there are 2 things that I have noticed over the years that reared its ugly head again yesterday.

The first one is, why do Woman change the way they act towards you when they are in their little cliques as to when they are by themselves? I noticed that so much and it irritates me. I was talking to a coaches wife Friday that was with her friends and she was downright snooty. Then yesterday I saw her again, and I decided after Friday that I would not talk to her and just let things be, and she comes to me and talks to me like we are old friends. I personally can not stand that. When I talk to you, be it by myself or with some friends I do not change my Attitute towards you. I am the same person no matter what, every single time.  There is no change in my personality and I am certainly not going to treat you any different then 3 days ago.

The second most irritating thing to me is, when I talk to a guy and he is married, why do the wifes or girlfriends feel compelled to make it known that he is theirs? I am not there to get your “Man” from you, I am talking to him because maybe I have not seen him for a while and catching up on things as to how the kids are doing, job etc. Just because I am single, does not mean that I am trying to pick up your “Man”. I just shake my head sometimes, when this happens. If you as a wife or girlfriend would know me or get to know me, it would be very apparent to you that I am certainly not like that, that I hate guys that cheat and that I am actually a very nice person who likes to meet the ” better half ” so that when I see you somewhere I can greet you and talk to you. But then I have to remember that I was married once too, and the reason I am not anymore is because he couldn’t keep his pants zipped up. So yes there are Woman/Guys out there with no consious about this and cheat, but do not put me in that Category because I am not wearing a ring.

Well that is my rant, feel free to voice your opinion about this. Maybe I am not getting something. But I sure like this stigma to stop. Not all single females are bad.  Certainly not this one.
