Just a couple conversations I've had with people:
*When I went to the library to check out Les Mis, I was having some trouble finding it on the shelves so I went up to ask the librarian if they had it:
Me: Hi, I was just wondering if the book Les Miserables is available?
Librarian: What book?
Me: Les Miserables
Librarian: Lay Miss Sob?
Me: ????? LES MISERABLES L-E-S M-I-S-E-R-A-B-L-E-S
Librarian: umm, ok let me just see. (typey type type) Is this the one you're talking about? (shows me her computer screen) I don't know what it is.
Me: (in shock) Yep, that's the one.
Librarian: yeah, we have it. It's on the "Classics" shelf.
Me: alright, thanks
Seriously? You're a LIBRARIAN! The book is housed on the CLASSICS shelf. Wow. Just....wow.
*Our apartment complex is gated so we use a little garage-door-opener-like clicker to open the gate. One day, we drove up and the clicker wouldn't work. After checking to see if the batteries needed to be changed, I called our management company to see if they could fix the problem:
Me: Hi, our clicker to open the gate isn't working.
Receptionist: Well, is it the right one? (said in the snotty voice of a 15-year-old girl)
Me: Well, it's the one they gave us when we moved in a few months ago.
Receptionist: Ok, is it big or little?
Me: Compared to what?
Receptionist: IS IT BIG OR LITTLE? (said very slowly like I was stupid or something)
Me: Well, it's big compared to an ant, but it's little compared to an elephant. What are you looking for here?
Receptionist: We started using new clickers so you probably have the old one. Come in and get the new one. It's $35.
Me: Great. Thanks.
and just for good measure:
*Have you heard a Black Eyed Peas song lately? I'm pretty sure they are incabable of writing a song that isn't about clubbing or "lady lumps," and I'm almost positive that my 1-year-old (who has a three word vocabulary) can make up more creative rhymes than they can. I would tell you to go listen to their newest song, but I wouldn't want to be responsible for letting you kill your brain cells.
