Random Seven Friday #30

This is the 30th edition of Random Seven Friday. Who’s proud of me???

Hello?

Anyone?

No message. No call.  Let me tell you my Mom is FAMOUS for this.  It makes me crazy!  So…….here is the thing.  Someone will call you.  You can’t pick up.  They DON’T leave a message or text you to call them.  So you….like any normal person….don’t call them back.  Then, a few hours later (or the next day), they call you again and chastise you for not calling them back.  Apparently the mere act of them calling should have alerted you to call them back.  SERIOUSLY.  Happens…..ALL….THE…..TIME.

New word alert!  This weeks new word is “numpty”. It means a stupid or ineffectual person.  I have had loads of opportunities to use this world lately.  It’s also of British origin so I feel very posh when I use it. Epic stuff here.

No talkie while peeing?  News flash.  If we’re a public bathroom together and start a conversation as we walk into the stalls, I will continue said conversation while we are doing our business.  I also use the bathroom during a phone conversation….but with stealth.  All have now been warned.

This is not OK:  Apparently, I need to make another public service announcement about Facetiming someone while you are eating at a restaurant.  Your cell phone is not a dinner companion and you look like a bougie dick.

Don’t poop where you eat:  Everyone has heard that before right?  The old adage that you shouldn’t date someone from your gym, work etc.  When you break up, it is awkward AF.  Now I have learned you should also include friendship in there….especially with service providers.  I tried to be friends with my nail tech once and that ended poorly.  Now, I’ve had to break up with my esthetician.  Things just got weird.  Until I find a new one, Sally Hansen is my new buddy and I’m giving myself Brazilians.  It is NOT fun and there isn’t enough wine in the WORLD to make me do this for long.

Teacher, Teacher: I hate the phrase “This is a teaching moment” I once worked for a woman who used that phrase to feel superior.  I bristle just thinking about it.  Please never use it.  We can’t be friends if you do.

A cool donation:  Siesta Key Oyster Bar…(or SKOB as the locals call it) has peeled all the dollar bills off it’s wall and donated it to the Bahama hurricane relief fund.  Nearly $14,000 was handed over the other day.  I’m proud to say I had a dollar up there.  My sister and her husband commemorated their honeymoon and stapled a buck to the wall as well.  Now, a silly afternoon lunch is helping someone in need.

That’s it!  That’s all.  Until next time!
