Love the joke about the hot flash! Keep in mind they're not hot flashes they're power surges!
As for Wal-Mart my CRS (can't remember s***) Syndrome is so bad I have to park in aisle 8! Aisle 8 and only aisle 8! Spent a 1/2 wandering around looking for my car. Absolutely panicked as I believed it was stolen. Well half an hour later
I found it in aisle 8 of the parking lot.
So for now on anytime I go to Wal-Mart I ONLY park in aisle 8. I don't care if aisle 4, 6 or 11 have front space parking. I ONLY park in aisle 8 even if it means parking almost to the street. At least I know where my car is and I'll only have to wander around 20 minutes looking for it.
If I am forced to park in some other aisle due to aisle 8 being filled up I keep a black sharpie in the car. Yes...I write on the back of my hand with the Sharpie what aisle I parked in!
I've adopted the aisle 8 policy no matter where I go: grocery store, mall, movies, etc.
Hey...inconvenience and a walk but it beats walking around with a shopping cart like a homeless person and swearing, or talking out loud like a schizophrenic.
As for wardrobe selection well...I still can't bring myself to wear slippers or jammies out in public but let's just say I don't look like I'm strutting the catwalk when I roam around the place.
I got this peeve about flip-flops too.
O.K. when I was growing up and even now flip-flops were reserved for pedicures, the beach, the swimming pool, the public showers at the gym, back yard sitting on the patio and maybe the occasional quick shuffle to the mailbox.
They were never 'fashion' footwear or daily shoes to be worn out in public. Now understand, I consider a sandal anything that has a 'strap' or band around the ankle that adheres the sandal to the foot so it doesn't literally flip-flop.
Can anyone please...please...please explain something to me. I see this so much it befuddles me. People in long sleeves, coats, long pants AND flip flops. Then they are shivering and saying they're cold.
My other favorite is why do people feel the compulsion to wear wool/fleece line Ugh boots that come up to their mid shins when it is 110+ and wear them with the shortest shorts that are hugging their but cheeks literally and tank tops and then they complain they're sweating.
Seriously...if anyone does these things can you PUH-LEASE explain to me the logic behind these fashion statements and dress codes? I'm genuinely confused and need some kind of explanation in regards to this so called 'logic'.
Oh my other peeve is why is it the fatter someone is the tighter it has to be and the less of it is worn-----by deliberate choice. What's with this?
I mean we all come in different shapes and sizes and there is always something to flatter everybody and every body and nobody should be 'ashamed' of their body but seriously...does nobody own a full length mirror anymore? If they do own one when they look in it do they not think, "Uh...this is a Glamor Don't! "
What's with this stuff in public?
