While waiting to pull up to McDonald's Drive Through Window:
Me: You should ask them for a dog biscuit for Lexi.
Sgt Dad: They have dog biscuits?
Me: Yeah, a lot of businesses around here do that.
Sgt Dad: Do you get them a lot?
Me: No, I don't drive Lexi around that often.
Sgt Dad: I didn't mean for Lexi.
Me: *Extreme dirty look*
Sgt Dad: *huge grin*
Me: *laughing* You're a jerk
And he never did get the dog a biscuit!
Later that day while browsing a yard sale....
Me: *eyeing glassware*
Glassware seller: These right here are nice glasses. They are $1000 glasses from my daughter's wedding. She's on to her next one now and I'm still paying for the first.
Me: Uhhhh. Yes, those are nice glasses. I don't need $1000 glasses. *slowly walking away*
Sgt Dad: Did he say those were $1000 glasses?

Venting
On the way home today I stopped off at the PX to buy replacement iPhone headphones.
(Sgt. Dad borrowed and then lost them. Those of you who have known Sgt. Dad for any length of time are not surprised to hear that, I'm sure.)
So, I looked all around the electronics section and couldn't find them. I then began the hunt for an employee to aid my search. Upon finally finding one (hiding at the end of an aisle and playing with photos he took at work and then loaded on one of those electronic picture frames) I asked for the headphones. He walked me past a display and showed me some compatible headphones. I then reiterated that I wanted Apple iPhone headphones and not another brand. He looked at me as though I were stupid and said, "Well, we don't sell iPhones, so we don't have them." At which point I politely thanked him and informed him I would go somewhere else for the name brand product. What I wanted to say was, " Everybody and their mother has an iPhone, why wouldn't you carry accessories?" and further, " That's like saying we don't sell babies, so we don't carry baby clothes."
Good Grief!
Second vent:
Mr. ECH 557. I did not appreciate your close examination of my rear bumper this afternoon. Your driving is very UN!
UN-safe
UN-necessary
UN-kind and most of all
UN-productive
For all your aggressive driving, illegal lane changes, and tailgating, you didn't get any further ahead. I still ended up right behind you at the traffic light after we both exited the highway. I should have reported you after I saw you make another illegal lane change and just miss hitting another car but I let it go and was happy to be getting out of your way. I hope I never cross your path again!

Ok, I feel better now. Good Night!
