Ramblings: August 2007 Archives
This morning as I got off the train and was walking up to my car, I noticed that the front door was unlocked. "OH man, here we go", was the thought that went through my mind. I was thinking that perhaps the lock was busted, the window might be broken and that everything else in the car was trashed. But no, the lock was not busted (slimjim job), the window was not broken and the seats were not trashed. Yes, the stereo was gone, but Mr. Professional Thief did not hack the wiring harness. I have to admit that yes I am bummed out, but I am happy that it was not the trash the car while I rip you off scenario.
With that, I must give a big thanks to Mr. Professional Thief.
I'm off to eBay to buy a used Honda stereo for $15 plus shipping.
Again another interesting conversation between my wife and I. You must think that I'm weird, but in fact, I'm a doode and want to stay like that.
I make no claim that I know everything when it comes to etiquette, but there are a few things that I am quite certain of. For example, when you go to a movie with another doode and there are plenty of seats around, when you go to sit down, you leave a seat between the two of you. I don't know what it is, but I do believe that it ingrained into the male mind since birth. My wife thinks us guys are silly as the female species doesn't behave this way. They are more than happy to sit next to each other, okay fine by me, but I want my one seat distance.
Another prime example. When you walk into the bathroom at work and a co-worker is at the urinal, do you walk up and take the one right next to him? No. The unsaid rule is that you leave one urinal between the two of you. Ideal conditions would be that there are a total of 3 urinals on the wall. If there are only two, go find one of the stalls.
While I'm on the mind set of the urinal, I want to take this time to remind my fellow man. When I'm at the urinal relieving myself, please don't strike up a conversation. I am in no position to respond, I have priorities to take care of. I'm not trying to be rude, I'll be more than happy to converse once you wash your hands.
