Argh.
That guy needs some antaceds and a swift kick in the shins because his mayerners are about as bad as John Mayer's himself and his repore is as scavary and unculled for as Robert's recent uttanences...
My nailbeds are huge.
Next time, just squint and say, "Me no speak The English."
Or to really throw him: "Je ne parle pas anglais."
I'm gassy...
You should of put the moves on that guy..you know...the foot stomp and groin punch maneuver..drops em to their knees...then you could yell at him..."And that's how I do nails, sucka!"
Fancy want a pedicure now.
so you got to have dinner out - I'm jealous....not sure I even know how to spell restarnt anymore....
Ugh that the busboy was so rude...
you should have taken the plates back away from him, then pretend to slide them over to him, and then pull them away, just over and over.
Why is it broken???
Hahaha! I bet you left a really big tip after that.
Hey, Wendi. So, I hear you're Chinese and you do nails. Fascinating. While you get your nail kit could you go ahead and give my your social too?
I've had the Mexican version of that conversation...
Jerk: Do you clean houses?
Me: Hell no.
Jerk: Are you sure?
Me: Hell yes.
Jerk: That's odd. You look like you might be from south of the border.
Me: I'm a mutt, thank you very much.
Hahaha! Wow.. run another stereotype over me, dude!
Stopping by from SITS!
I don't think he'll be moving up from busboy anytime soon!
A few years ago, a friend of mine remarried and moved to Florida. Her daughter was in HS at the time and ended up moving back here to live with her Grandmother because she was tired of the comments she got all the time. They are Filipino and she said not only was she getting similar comments all the time, but that most people she encountered (I'm assuming other HS students) didn't even know what her nationality was. As she was raised in Daly City, which is right outside San Francisco and is considered to have the largest Filipino community in the country, this was a huge culture shock for her. Incidentally, my friend and her husband just moved back here a couple of months ago.
Anyway, ignorance is definitely not bliss!
People seem to comment less on Sundays...why?
Don't worry, I am commenting on the Sunday Snippets
Some resvarch should be done on this...I'll ask hosh to gary on it and run some numbvars and tell us why...
BTW all the cool B***** quotes are gone, and I don't want to start swearing or threatening to kill people...what now?
Since he understands (see it?) Social Networking better than we do, we're old and archaic man, he's on the cutting edge.
