What've you heard recently that you wish you hadn't?

A friend of mine told me that his 70 year old mother was caught giving a BJ in the parking lot of a bar.

I heard that global warming has killed the majority of sea lions in Alaska, by shifting pankton and thus the herring farther south.

Wow. Not to mention, yikes. Thank you for the link, Gr8Kat.

My MIL telling me and hubby that she needed to get Viagra for the new husband (aged 85).

Eeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!

Poor thing! And with the darkness sets in at um, about 4pm around here you gotta promise yourself a nice toy as a reward. (I do have an image of you doing the flight attendant oxygen mask test and showing the emercency exit lights with the 2 fingers. It’s just like that, right? :wink: )

Countless perky-news-anchor repetitions of the phrase “cut from her mother’s womb”.

Heh. When I was your age, it was guys saying “I’m gay.”


One of our guests last night has chronic medical problems. Really, I am sympathetic, but I don’t need to hear the details.


Mr. Rilch: “I lost the file. Can you type this [165 page script that’s very heavy on description] for me again?”

I heard a story from the local news about a woman who left her Yorkie puppy outside for just a second while she ran inside to get something…only to come back to find him being taken by a hawk.

:frowning:

(Yeah, stories of cute little animals being tortured and dying get me every time. How pathetic is that?)

Whe I was in Alaska they called taking out a small dog for a walk on a leash: “trolling for eagles”.

I have none as bad those I’ve read, but I didn’t want to hear yesterday:“we are pulling you to telemetry”. and also hours later my relief called and said, “I am going to be late.”

Maybe TMI: I work ICU/stepdown (I’m a nurse). Pulling is where I don’t work in my unit, and tele is pure hell(for me).

Hafta go in again today…wonder where I’ll be pulled to now. ugh.
