Randomness

randomtuesday

What is the point of dressing up like a Hooker only to work in a coffee shop? I walked up to a curbside coffee shop in another town, to find the barista wearing the required uniform which covered less than your typical 2-piece swim suit. Across the shop, a vehicle pulled up into the drive-through, oogling the young lady as she made my drinks. Seriously? I mean, she's got to be making little over minimum wage, if that. If your going to be walking around in an outfit which leaves little to the imagination, why not just work as a stripper. At least the tips would be good!


To the man throwing the 'Twinkle-Twinkle-Little-Star' hand motions towards me while yelling, "Blink! Blink! Blink!":
Get a life! Everyone makes mistakes, clearly you did when choosing that haircut. Some men can pull off that long-hair look. You can't. You look like someone I would expect to see on the Crime Dog Watch List. Besides, it's not like you couldn't CLEARLY see where I was going. I was in a TURN LANE for crying out loud! I had no other option but to turn. So, in the future, please don't take the shame of your pathetic life out on me.


We spent the weekend at the beach; camping, swimming, hiking, and just spending time with friends. The plan was to leave Friday morning. While packing up the vehicle, the baby fell on a toy and cut open his finger. We couldn't get the bleeding to stop and finally took him in to see the doctor. We were two hours late getting on the road, but we're finally on our way! About 30 minutes from our destination, a loud pounding sounded underneath the vehicle. Afraid we had blown a tire, we pulled over and I got out to check it out. Nothing was flat, so I assumed we were okay. After stopping at the next city, to pick up last minute supplies, we find that we are leaking antifreeze all over the parking lot. Taking a closer look at the tires, we see that the thread has completely ripped off the front passenger tire. We are LUCKY we were able to drive on it. We spent another couple of hours in the city before deciding to take our chances, because noone there was able to (or had the parts) to fix the vehicle. Before heading on to our campsite, we stopped at a gas station where my total came to $6.66. The guy in line behind me said, "Wow. That is not a good number. If that was me up there, I would be saying, 'Man! That's what's wrong with today!'" If he only knew....


We did make it, though, and had an excellent time! Good food, good friends, and simply a break from day-to-day life!

  2. Glad to hear you made is safely! I alwasy fear something like that going wrong while I'm driving on the highway. Probably not a good thing to wonder when/if I'm going to have a blowout or something like that...

    Wow, yes. If you're going to dress like a hooker, at least be one. The money is awesome! Clients suck, but at least you don't have to hear about it when you make the coffee wrong. :)

  3. Good lord! What a terrible way to start your day! Glad you all made it safely to your destination. And glad baby is okay too.

    I can't stand skimpy uniforms where people eat/drink. It just grosses me out.

  4. Um...the stripper look seems to be so popular these days I want to carry a robe around with me to cover some of the trampy kids... *sigh*

  5. EWWW! That would totally gross me out to have my coffee served by someone wearing little more than a bikini. I think I threw up a little in my mouth!

    Thanks for visiting my blog the other day!
