I stopped by the 7-11 during lunch and got some Gatorade. Back at the office, I discovered that the girl at the register had put a straw in the plastic bag. Not just a straw–a straw individually wrapped in sealed plastic.
When was the last time you saw someone drinking Gatorade with a straw? When have you ever seen someone drinking Gatorade with a straw?
She wants you. It’ll be a conversation starter the next time you go back.
Clearly a phallic symbol. I’d say she wants to have safe sex with you.
Well, I can see that the possibility of simple error on the part of the girl has been carefully examined and ruled a statistical impossibility by the local gurus, using the most exhaustive investigative measures available.
You should definitely take bold and unretractable action based on the unambiguous signal you have been sent.
Quizot and 7-11 maiden sittin in a tree …
The straw isn’t the phallic symbol. The Gatorade is.
Having just gotten back from a few weeks in Japan my response is “So?”
I got quite used to the clerks at the 7-11 across from the hotel (and the various AM-PMs and Family Marts that we went to) automatically putting straws and utensils in our bags whenever we purchased food or drink.
I got myself a mother-in-law, sipping Gatorade through a straw.
My first thought when I saw this title was “I gave her my heart and…”
Please tell me I’m not alone.
Anyhow, I wouldn’t seek out a straw for my gatorade, but if a straw was provided with my gatorade, I would happily use it. I like straws. I always feel like a slob when drinking out of wide-mouth bottles, and cold hurts my teeth. I think it’s only about 40% silly.
But! If you save the straw in your office, you’ll be incredibly thankful someday when you really need a straw!
aw, I think that was nice of her!
And if I drank gatorade, I’d drink it with a straw. When I was in the hospital and they gave me super-syrup calorie drinks I’d always beg for ice and a straw to make them easier to drink and less overwhelmingly disgusting. And when I’m sick, I usually find it easier to drink stuff with a straw for some reason. Lots of people drink gatorade when they’re sick and need electrolytes. And, after seeing Bre’r Lappin mention the wide-mouthed bottles- I’d definitely prefer a straw. Plus, does gatorade stain your teeth? like would you end up with blue teeth? drinking from a straw tends to minimize tooth dye exposure. It makes sense.
Also, when I was working as a waitress in a carry-out restaurant, if someone was nice to me or I just liked them for some reason, I’d give them extra crap they probably didn’t need… like extra sauce or an extra fork or hot pepper. Usually extra cookies, too, but sometimes the cookies just didn’t seem like enough. Even if they didn’t notice, it was my little way of saying, “thanks for being nice to me” without, like, writing them a note or something.
I say she thinks you look youthful and boyish, Guizot!
I went through the Wendy’s drive-thru today.
I ordered a burger and fries. Would I like a drink with that? No, thank you.
In the bag were a burger, fries, and…a straw. I have no idea what I was supposed to suck through it.
Maybe she thought you had a goat…
Just routine, they get used to any beverage gets a straw. I used to get amazed when at a bar I would order a double of CC. And they would put a swizzle stick in it. What the heck was I gonna stir? it is all the same thing, nothing to be mixed. I asked the bar keep one time and he told me just habit, a swizzle stick goes into everything other than a shot. The flipside of the coin is my brother, who likes the occasional beer, but must drink it through a straw because if he lets the beer touch his lips he gets some wierd cold sore thing going. An allergy I am told. Asking for a straw for a beer is downright embarassing. He learned to ask for some salt to put in his beer, and then a straw to stir it in, of course he never put the salt into his beer, it was a way to get the straw. I tried to get him to change to Canadian whiskey, but the man is not open to suggestion. You don’t need a straw, deposit it the nearest trash can. Where is the big deal?
