A Thank You Just for YOU!!

Rate: 32 Flag

I just want to thank you, Mr. Stud, for picking the Starbucks where I was today to cough up your lung!!!

Really, I totally enjoyed it!

 I know you're a tough guy. You can't be sick. You have to "get back out there" even at the expense of other people!! I get it. You're a stud. 

So, thank you, Mr. Stud, for hacking and spitting and gagging your way into my day, you and your buddy with his stupid-ass skull jacket that needed to be washed and your dumb watch-chains jangling from your pockets. Yes! I wanted to be sick myself! And you knew that, didn't you? So, there you are.

So, thank you.

*******************************************************************

Thank you to the woman who wore the culottes (CULOTTES!!!) with high heeled boots today!! I love that fashion. I mean, all you needed was for the material to be corduroy and it would be 1978 ALL OVER AGAIN!! Where is your silky shirt?!? I didn't see that.

*******************************************************************

Thank you to the person who told me she couldn't see much gray in my hair!!! Without me even asking!!! That's a wonderful quality, to know exactly the thing I'm so longing to hear--that my hair needs a touch-up, but that it's "not that bad." What would I do without you?!? I'd have to look in a mirror and use my eyesight!!! What a travesty! Thank you for sparing me from that moment.

*******************************************************************

Thank you to the dude painting the house who stuck his head in the open window to tell me there wouldn't be much privacy for me this week!!! I love that!!! Especially since you were on a ladder, looking in my upstairs window, while I was changing clothes!!! Yes!!!! I so wanted you to look. I mean, it's Penthouse Forum all over again. Boom-chicka bow bow!!!

Oh. And thanks for wearing those pants that showed the crack of your hairy butt. Really. I couldn't have lived without seeing a stereotype in action this week.

*******************************************************************

Thank you, Congress, for having Insurance Company lobbyists positioned squarely up your ASS!!!! I never really wanted a public option OF COURSE!! I want to be charged even more money and even FINED if I am too poor to have health insurance. I love me a poor tax in the US of A!!!! Great work!!!!

And hey, you guys all enjoy a public option on your health insurance so it shouldn't be too hard to get those insurance guys extracted FROM YOUR ASS!!!! I hope you're okay!!!!

*******************************************************************

Finally, thank you, o cat for vomiting in the floor just right there! I really appreciated how you positioned it so that I would walk on it and so that it would stain the carpet. You know how I love cleaning up those stains!!! And I've already had such a good day. You knew a way to make it better.

Thank you. One and all.

Oh, culottes. Tell me she had a poncho on as well.

Your day has truly been an assault on all your senses.

And yeah, why do cats run to make sure they get it on the carpet???

Here's to Wednesday...
I'd like to join in to thank the woman whose cell phone went off constantly with ear-splitting music and she would just look at it and put it back in her purse. AUGH

And I'd like to thank the man who apparently does not bathe for reasons only known to him for filling up my space with his odor. Peeyeeeww
Sounds like a ranter's holiday. How luxurious.
Yet another reason to be sure your home has a cat chow-colored carpet!

A guy really stuck his head in your window? EWWWWWWWW!!!!
I want to thank Ikea for making a desk with multiple coloured optioins, but only white drawers and not letting me know until I was in aisle 28...and then for being out of the white top when I got back to aisle 26. And I want to thank both of the drivers who stepped on it through the big assed puddle as they passed me struggling to get the wobbly cart to my car. Next time, I'll stop fighting it and let it ram into your car .. d***heads.

Hey O, this really works. Thank you. I didn't even know I needed that. Hope you feel better too.
Thank you, odetteroulette, for NOT including a warning that this rant could cause me to accidentally snort diet coke into my sinuses in an effort to keep it from hitting my screen when I read "Boom-chicka bow bow!!!" Yes, it would have been spewed in the laughter I suppressed . . . but it turns out that the carbonation is doing something interesting to break up the congestion . . . so I can't actually be too upset . . .
Thank you to the Election Clerk today who insisted on physically touching anybody with a question and then reaching over them to ACTUALLY TOUCH THE BUTTONS on the voting thingamajiggy and then got all pouty cause I called him on it. (I'm telling you -- they're EVERY where.)
Sounds like you're having an Elvis Presley kind of day--"Thank you, Thank you very much" with a sneer.
Um....you're welcome.....?
"I couldn't have lived without seeing a stereotype in action this week."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Just this morning, a mom at the school said her husband said she'd lost so much weight, she looked like a plumber in her jeans. Huh? I'm not reading too much into that...poor gal.
Thanks for the giggles!
That hairy-ass-crack guy was just trying to put you at ease, which is why he chose to leer through your window when he did; he knew you'd be relaxed thinking there was nobody watching you. It is the way of my people. Sometimes though, all the goodness and wonder we witness everyday just wells up inside of us and we have to let it out with a heartfelt "thank you mankind, thank you universe, thank you whatever it is that gives cats hairballs and makes them yak it back up when we most need it." ::tears, real tears::
Would it help any if I offered to send you some stain remover? No? Well then I'll just bake a batch of cookies and send them. No? Hmmm- well, how's about a fifth of vodka or tequila or rum or something? Oh yeah. Now we're talkin'...
I totally appreciate your sarcasm.
I also have one of those carpet-ruining cats AND received an unsolicited back-handed compliment about my hair today too!
It just keeps getting better and better...
I'll help the guy doing the painting if that's any help :)
Thanks for helping me realize that my day was no where near as bad as yours was. You've rendered a valuable public service.
You should follow me around in an airport. You'd be giving out hand written"thank you notes" like parking tickets. And I'd hope you would do it. The only reason I'm tongue tied is if I'm not, everyone else will be in trouble. I hear this loud and clear. O'Really Good.
I think it may be time for a drink. It's not too early, is it?
Culottes?? The last time I saw them was when I was in junior high, circa 1977. As for the painter taking a bookaboo look into your window. Girl, swing the dude my way!

A great piece! It made me laugh in an otherwise somewhat dull Tuesday afternoon.
Oh God, I love those people that hack up lungs when you're trying to consume something appetizing. It's also nice to look over and realize that the person sitting next to me in class most likely has the swine...red-rimmed eyes, runny nose, coughs that sound like the barking of a seal. I really really love it. Thank YOU for writing this! Glad to know I'm not the only one thinking these things out there.
I followed Anabellaah.
My Granddaughter is named Annabella.
I know:`
I say that each time I speak via the blogs.
I had that happen to me on the K- Street.
Some lobby gal was hacking with a camel.
I screamed:`
"Take that camel tail out from Ya mouth!
You're turning blue as a full bright moon!
You need me to give you a Heimlich burp!
That maneuver will help cough ups coffee!"

She yelled at me with creamy froth blue lips.

"You ugly hick from boondocks ain't licking.
I heard about you licking DC lawyer woman.
Ya sure enough ain't gonna lick my quarters.
Ya takes cares of the countryside's posterity."

thanks, okay.
my pleasure.
O conk thunk.
Add in the nose blowers at the next table and I think you have them all. Hope tommorrow is better!
laughing, odette!

i was just thinking that i wanted to get one of those 70's velour v-neck shirts for myself. for real!

and NOW i know to get some culottes to go with!
If the painter wouldn't have said anything, that would have been better? And you should report him to the National Association of well-dressed painters.They could take his painters license for that!!
You are all completely lovely people. I will try to form coherent sentences for you all.

Cat--Oh my lord, she did not have on a poncho. Or braids. I might have excused it if she'd matched in that way. No, she was carrying a briefcase. And wore a kicky scarf.

mypsyche--ew. I LOVE it when people don't bathe!!! So refreshing!

Stacey--It had its moments. Long mean moments. But you know, moments.

blue--YES. As I put on my pants. AS I PUT ON MY PANTS.

JK--It does help a bit, doesn't it?

Owl--hee hee So glad to help!

skeltnwmn--Don't you love it when your officials pout? It's so attractive and professional. I know it doesn't make me want to slap them. At all!

Walter--heh Elvis has left the building!

Deb--hee hee

outside myself--Thanks! It was ridiculous that I saw his butt crack. I mean, no. Just no.

nanatehay--Now, you and your butt are totally fine by me. ;)

UK--Pass the fifth.

spotted mind---Don't you love those backhanded compliments?

Harry's ghost--If only it had been you!!

OES--Always glad to help out. Always. Really.

O'Really--I bit my tongue so much today I think I shortened it. I would totally love to hand out little sarcastic thank you notes to people that bothered me.

GG--It's never too early, right?

Luis--My darling, you would not want him. Trust me. If only. Now, if he had looked like Wentworth Miller, well ... I would have put my pants on more slowly and perhaps with some background music. snerk. (As if. Wentworth would never be so uncouth, I'm sure.)

Anna--Isn't it great how some people feel it's okay to give you their illness? I love that. And why is it always in eating establishments? Who goes out to lunch when he or she is sick?

Art--I love you with my whole heart. I think I'll take your comment with me everywhere tomorrow and read it when I get depressed. O conk thunk.

Lunchlady--That didn't happen. And that surprises me. I guess it wasn't that bad a day after all.

jane--hee hee oh my. Velour shirts ... those were the days.

scanner--It would have been okay if he'd said something oh say BEFORE he climbed the ladder and looked in my window. ha!
We need a movement to reform congress. We need some sociopolitical laxative. Rated and Zumapick.
It was fun just to sit back and go on your rant ride. Thank you.
Thanks to everyone that says to me: "You look great! Have you lost weight?" when my weight is the same and I didn't think that I was that fat earlier. A great big "Thank you/Fuck you " to them.

GREAT post.
Zuma--We do indeed!

Stim--You're welcome. :)

Ginny-Oh my! I hate that, too!! grrr.

Kaly--NO THANK YOU for suggesting Tallloving.com. It sounds EXACTLY like the thing I would do--go meet skanky strangers and ask them for dates!!! Yes!!! Finally!!! A spam I can get behind ...
I am sure they would all tell you, without irony, "You're welcome."
Lea--Sadly, you are right. I had a feeling if I glared to long at the coughing dude, he would come over and lick my face. He seemed PLEASED he was out and about while sick. Jerk.

The painter ... well ... he was just having some fun. Butthole. heh.
this is why I won't buy a gun - not until someone gives me permission to use it at my discretion

"you! out of the gene pool!"

@Ginny: "You look great! Have you lost weight?" when my weight is the same and I didn't think that I was that fat earlier."

yes, this. Or, "you look nice today," said with total surprise - so yesterday I looked like crap?
