Guy Love, Cheeseburgers, and Sterilization, Oh My.

by rachaelgking on August 26, 2009 · 102 comments

To the man who clearly had never used a self check out line in a grocery store before and whom I watched attempt to pay for ONE WATERMELON for the Twenty. Freaking. Minutes

I believe with all my heart that you should be sterilized.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To the woman who obviously did not need the wheelchair she was in but threw herself in B’s and my path yesterday and demanded some of our Negro Modelo…

Don’t think that I won’t cut you if you lay a finger on my beer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To my new temp, who told me all about his adoration for wine country, his refusal to live anywhere except 17th and R in Dupont, and his childhood best friend who is the J.D. to his Turk…

They’re gay, and so are you. You can stop talking about your “girlfriend” now. I know a really cute guy I could be setting you up with…

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To the 4+ restaurants in my new neighborhood who are advertising half-priced burger Happy Hours…

Are you trying to kill me? Everyone knows cheese ‘n cow is my kryptonite.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To my shins, who are vehemently protesting my decision to walk 2 miles to and from work, as well as working out on lunch breaks…

Don’t you know we have a lot of cheeseburgers to work off?!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To my dear friend Elizabeth Marie, or as I like to call her, “Shankapotamus”, and whose post today is revoltingly sweet and almost made a little onion water fall out of my eye…

Why didn’t you use my Glamour Shot?

Xoxo,

LiLu

P.S. RIP, Teddy. As a Masshole, I will always think of you fondly.

To LiLu, who never fails to give me a reason to be happy, ridiculous and a little crazy…

You rock my socks off.

I hope they’re argyle.

Don’t fuck with fat wheelchair beer ladies. They have a mean left hook. Trust me on that one.

Doesn’t it suck how much you have to workout to burn the shit you eat?
Watch out the lady could have ran you over with her wheelchair…

I love the picture you look like you are doing the Pee-Wee Herman dance…lol

“LOOK like”? Obviously I am! :-)

4 timoteo August 26, 2009 at 9:25 am

In college I suffered every happy hour on whether or not to buy the half-priced cheeseburger as I walked back to my apartment. I literally stopped in front of the pub, paced around the entrance, and tried to rationalize getting one. I failed more often than not to just walk away.

Me too. But in college, I had my college metabolism…

5 Hannah August 26, 2009 at 9:28 am

I’m torn: do I open a good, funky, free Wi-Fi, cheap coffee, delicious baked goods and bites, live music cafe/coffee house/lounge? Or do I open a place that actually offers happy hour half-price burgers any day of the week? Because Boston proper has neither such place. And it’s starting to piss me off.

That makes it official. DC is now my HOME.

i love the self-checkout line, but it attracts absolute morons. i always think it would be easier to just steal rather than wait in line, but then i realize jail time might balance that out.

I KNOW. It is so tempting, though… no one would notice if I just threw that tiny piece of ginger in the bag…

Ok the self check out at the grocery store is hard. I always wait in the really long line line with like 2 items instead of using self check out. I like my grocery store, I don’t need them seeing me make a fool of myself.

Eh. I look like a fool either way. Might as well check out faster. ;-)

Why do the ones that don’t know how to use the self-scanner ALWAYS have produce? Produce is the advanced level of self-check out. You shouldn’t be allowed to try and ring up a watermelon until you have mastered ringing up a can of fruit salad.

BTW, I am totally considering emailing you my ridiculously gross TMIT because I would never post it on my blog, and it is way too long to put in a comment. I only told my BF and my hubs and they agreed that it is really a gross TMI story. They didn’t want to hear it again. I think it meets TMI standards, but I’m on the fence.

Love your posts Lilu, and whenever I’m done reading and it comes time to comment I can’t figure out where to begin and all I’m left with is ‘That’s so funny!’… :) But yes, that was hilarious and your glamour shot is very cute (Liz choose well!) and I had no idea Ted Kennedy had died…

Hope you’re having a great week!

Aww, you’re the best. And you too!

Stretch those shins! My god, I hear my sister shouting at me from field hockey days in HS! *cringe*

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is in such a state of mourning! The last of Camelot is gone.

If any of your walking is uphill, count it twice!

Oh, the ones I got from field hockey were the WORST. And my whole walk home is uphill… I think I’ll count it three times. Ugh.

I soooo agree with the sterilization of the watermelon wonder. And really, attempting to navigate the streets in an unnecessary wheelchair while under the influence never ends pretty!

She attacked B again last night, but in a sexual manner. I think we’re going to be walking on the other side of the street from now on.

You would think after all of the years that self-checkout has been in place, people would know how to use it. It’s the most aggravating experience waiting for someone who can’t follow simple directions.

Seriously. There are PICTURES on it, for chrissakes. Big, enormous PICTURES.

I loathe the self-checkout. It’s always full of stupid people. haha

I made the mistake of using it again yesterday. I’m officially done.

LOL! You never cease to put a smile on my face and stir a laugh out of me. I love it. I was wondering about you the other day and then I recalled you writing about moving to a different place and so of course I found you once again. So now your back into my reader and I will get my daily smile/laugh once again. Seriously, you fricken crack me up! Thank you!
And I was thinking about how you are the age of my own grown children and what is so amazing about that is that you do remind me of them.They are amazing and crack me up too so there is nothing better then that…lol. I hope your mom knows what a great daughter she raised!

I sent this comment to her, so she definitely will. Thank you so much. I’m really glad you found me again. (Hug)

88 Colby August 26, 2009 at 11:14 pm

I was that speshul person in the self-checkout line at Home Depot yesterday. I kept picking up the shopping bag, to fill up a second with my properly scanned items. It kept thinking I was trying to steal the bag without paying. Leave the bag there! I was a moron.

Okay. I may have done that. But I learned! :-)

I’m with the check out guy on this one, those machines are designed to destroy your soul. I always get caught in the “Wrong item in bag” loop.

Machine – “Unexpected item in bagging area!”
Me – “It’s the one I just scanned”
Machine – “Unexpected item in bagging area!”
Me – “It can’t be that unexpected you scanned it”
Machine – “Unexpected item in bagging area!”
Assistant – “Can I help you?”
Me – “Probably” I’m a bloke I don’t like assistance if I can help it
assistant – “I’ll just reset it for you”
Me – rather begrudgingly “Thanks”
Large crowd of onlookers - “Boo, we were just enjoying the confrontation”
I Scan next item
Machine – “Unexpected item in bagging area!”
Me – “for f**ks sake!!!”
Large crowd that had started to disburse “Hurray, game on”

That’s not your fault. Some of the machine are reallllll dumb. Which is funny, cause they’re machines and all. I suppose they’re at least consistently dumb about the same things?

Have I ever mentioned that you look exactly like this girl I know named Leslie? She’s from the North too (I capitalize it because that’s what we were taught growing up in the South). And her personality is kind of like what I imagine yours is like. Any chance you were separated from a twin at birth? Just asking.

Yes! That hooker got the arm we were sharing. ;-)
