Minor rants from your past, redux

To Beth:

I only want to see you once more in my life, and that is as you lie screaming in agony in the middle of the road after having been hit by a truck. Thank you so incredibly much for waiting three months before hopping in the sack with a guy I thought was my best friend; at least you didn’t do it on our wedding night. You nearly bankrupted me and caused me so much emotional grief that I did not dare to open myself up to another for many years. And then when I did…

To Sandy:

I only want to see you once more in my life, and that is as you lie screaming in agony next to Beth because both of you got hit by the truck. I dared to open up to you. You knew about Beth and what she had done. What did you do? You started shacking up with somebody else. At least it wasn’t a friend of mine. On top of that, you were a goddam druggie that pissed away most of our money on pot and pills.

I really wish that there were a hell. You both deserve to be char-broiled on a daily basis.

Those I talk to elsewhere online will recognize this (and wonder why I’m still not over it)…

What cities will forever be known for one specific thing/event?” Simple enough, no? Chernobyl. Littleton, CO. Waco, TX. Tunguska, Siberia. Roswell, NM.

Not four posts into the thread, some yutz says Boston and Philadelphia. WTF? Post #6- New York City. Later in the thread- San Diego, Chicago, Houston, Miami, Tokyo, and yes, San Francisco. What the hell was so hard about that OP? Di dI accidentally type “Name some cities you’ve heard of”?!

I’m always reminded of this when I see someone reply to an OP while clearly having no idea what’s going on.

Hee. That’s a pretty funny thread. My favorite entries are where people mention a famous city like Chicago and then mention two famous things that are associated with the city, as if this makes them doubly qualified for being known for one specific thing :).

Best. Transition. EVAR.

I know! I mean, I understand if you misinterpret an OP, okay. But with answers like these, I gotta wonder what the hell it was being interpreted as. Do people think I meant to ask, “Please name a city that, at some point, has had something happen in it.” :smack:

Ooh! Ooh! Rome!

To my fellow waitress at Perkins: When I ask you to please not kick me, the correct response is “Oh, sorry.” It is not “Why?” You were 5’10" and I’m 5’1", and the pass window was clearly built for waitresses who are also basketball players. So I had to have my feet somewhat wide apart if I was going to reach up. And, I did not say I don’t want anyone to touch me ever; I said I didn’t appreciate being kicked. And saying that did not make me stupid. So I’m sorry my leg was in your way, but a simple “You’re in my way” or even “Move” would have been more appropriate than a kick. Kindergartners kick.
