Crazy Conversation of the Day

Chameleon Enthusiast
With the success of "Light Hearted Pet Peeves", I'd like to introduce a new segment called "Crazy Conversation of the Day". I'll get us started. This happened this morning.

Hubby: It's so cool having a little dinosaur as a pet!
Me: Ferdinand isn't a dinosaur. He's a reptile. Because dinosaurs were likely exothermic, modern scientists generally categorize them separately from reptiles. Technically, my finches closer to dinosaurs than chameleons.
Hubby: Why do you always ruin everything fun?
(Awkward silence)
Hubby: It's so cool having a little dinosaur as a pet!
Me: Yes, it's really cool. Dinosaurs are awesome.

I think I speak for all men. We are ALL clueless and destined to repeat our mistakes. I believe there is even a movie about it called 'What Women Want', along with the other similar 1,000 comedies. If not careful, we too will be as extinct as the dinosaurs.
 
This is a good example of Carl Jung's anima/animus thing.
It's not healthy for men to be in denial of their feminin side, even though scociety forces them to (not so much no-a-dayz) :) with sexist stereotyping and such :)
It's the macho, testosterone pumped male ego that starts wars :eek:
 
Yesterday's Example:

(Me at an empty Starbucks)

Me: Can I get a grande latte?
Girl: What name can I put on that?
Me: (look around at empty store) I'm the only person in line.
Girl: The name is for your drink so you know it's yours.
Me: Sure... But I'm the only person in line...and you're the only person behind the counter...

So I get my latte literally 30 seconds later and she wrote "No Name" on the side. Sheesh.
 
Today's Example:

(I call a coworker that is supposed to meet me at the worksite)

Me: Joe, is Colby with you?
Joe: Oh okay.
Me: Is COLBY with you?
Joe: Is Colby with you?
Me: No, is he with YOU?
Joe: Let me check.
Me: So, he's not with you then?
Joe: I don't know.
Me: Did he ride in your car this morning?
Joe: Colby?
Me: Yes, did Colby ride with you?
Joe: No.
Me: Okay, then he's not with you.
Joe: Oh okay thanks for checking.

I don't know what heck that was all about. I thought it was a straight forward question.

I guess your boss doesn't drug test? That or someone was still asleep or drunk from last night. He isn't building anything important is he?
 
Hahaha, no, he's an architect. They don't do anything important ;). That's just Joe. If you knew him, it would make total sense.

Sounds like Joe smoked a pipeful before leaving!? :rolleyes:
But seriously, I have conversations like this nearly every day.
 
Today:

(At the rental car place in Houston. I reserved a subcompact car and was given a Ford Edge SUV as a complimentary upgrade.)

Me: I can't drive an SUV in Houston traffic. Can I exchange for a smaller vehicle?
Lady: We can give you a Jeep.
Me: That's not smaller. Do you have any sedans or smaller hatchbacks?
Lady: Sorry, all we have is a Nissan Versa.

Basic spatial relations, people. I ask for a smaller car, am offered a larger one, and finally have to settle for a compact. Sheesh.
 
Today:

(Getting a manicure)
Lady: You want sparkle?
Me: No thanks.
Lady: I give you sparkle!
Me: Oh, um, okay...
Lady: And then I wax eyebrows!
Me: okaaaay...

So now I have sparkly nail polish and really nice eyebrows. She was nice but pushy :)

At least yours is available. Every time I go to drop my mom off at her nail place, the guy is in jail. It could have been worse also. She might have brazillianed your back! :eek:
 
CCOTD (Monday)

(Opening scene, pharmacy, me buying several gallon jugs of cough syrup, I'm standing in line and start coughing really hard, so I open one and take some. Then I get to the front.)

Cahier: Oh, this one's open.
Me: Yes, that was me coughing. I needed some cough syrup.
Cashier: It was open?
Me: What?
Cashier: It was open?
Me: No, no, I opened it just now.
Cashier: You opened it?
Me: Yes, I did. Just now.
Cashier: Oh okay.

I thought at first she was trying to verify that the safety seal hasn't been compromised, but she seemed genuinely confused that I had opened it while in line. Then after I left, I realized I forgot to pay for a bottle of water I had picked up. Score.

Excuse me mam, are you Robo trippin' ? :D Kids wouldn't go to sleep? :rolleyes: Gallons, what the hell lady? :eek: You may need help :D (This has to be a misprint like the nurse who said she gave her cham oxycontin instead of oxytocin. :) I still have great visuals over that one!) Keep 'em comin'. I can't stop laughin' for days after these things.
 
If I may chime in here with one - I'm a Front Desk Agent at a major hotel here in Naples. We're known for having very well-to-do guests due to our pricetags and reputation.

Me: "And will there be any other names joining you in the reservation, ma'am?"
70 - year old lady: "Not unless you know of a 70 year old with teeth and no tattoos:
Me: "Do they have to be his own teeth?"
Her: "Hmm. Well, I have a partial, so I guess not."
Me (giggling inside my head at this point): "But definitely no tattoos?"
Her: "No visible ones"
Me: "Well one would think that after a certain amount of time they would become more visible"
Her: "I'm too old for that"

Just a typical day at work! :D
 
this is one I had last night with my husband as we were sitting on the porch looking at our rose bushes

him: I am going to cut that rosebush down
me: why ?
him : its infested with aphids
me: yes, I know
him: well, then why don't you want me to cut it down, they will only spread to the other bushes
me: that's what I hope
him: what, why ?
me : FEEDERS HONEY, FEEDERS
he just shook his head, did not seem to share the same joy in aphids as I :cool:
