I often see or hear people saying or doing things that I find intriguing, but it's not quite worth making a thread about. I figure that other people might have the same experiences. Therefore, I hope that this thread can become a clearinghouse for those little observations that might not otherwise make the cut.

My first two would be:

1. I went to the optometrist today to get my eyes checked. In the waiting room, a family came in and sat next to me: a mother, a girl of about 13 or 14, and two young boys. The mother is talking on the phone and scolding the boys who are out of control, and then the teenage girl came over to her mother. She's got both hands up near her face, and asks the mother, "What is this?" My initial thinking was that it was something in her eye since we were, after all, in an optometrist's office. Then the girl says, "I thought it was a pimple, but I'm trying to pop it and nothing's coming out."

Where is your shame, young girl? Where is your shame?

2. I came back to the office, and got a cell phone call while I was in my lobby. I was standing there taking the call when this skanky, meth-looking woman in a tank top came in. She got in the elevator and departed toward the heavens. The thing that was most noticeable about her, other than the skanky part, was that she was wearing no supportive garments above the waist, and she badly, badly needed to be wearing them. (Not large, either - envision an inverted champagne flute made out of Slinky.) I finished my call and rode the elevator up myself, and when I got off on my floor, the woman was in the front lobby of the other company on my floor filling out a job application. I really think that a skanky-looking person with bosoms befitting a National Geographic photo should consider wearing a bra or something whilst going in to apply for a job.

Please feel free to post your own minor observations here in the future.

Okay, this is an epic peoplewatching post. If you have read this far, keep reading.

I was walking home last night, and I tend to walk through a commercial area that has varying amounts of foot traffic. I walked by a restaurant that's in a low-traffic area, and so usually doesn't have a lot of customers.

Envision this, and every word is true. The restaurant is well-lit and abuts the sidewalk, so it's very easy to see in. There are two customers, both women, and two waitresses. None are bombshells, but none are warthogs, either. Pretty reasonable overall.

As I walk up, Waitress A and Waitress B are standing at the table talking to the two women. Apparently the conversation was about brassieres, because Waitress B reaches behind Waitress A (who's holding a plate or glass or something) and pulls her top up to look at the back of her bra. They're all chatting while this happens, and Waitress B is doing some pointing and explaining. Then she continues raising the top, front and back, all the way to Waitress A's armpits. So the four of them are there, two customers sitting and two waitresses standing, and one Waitress A has her top being held all the way up by Waitress B so the others can presumably look at her bra. And I'm trying everything I can to not walk into traffic.

In a restaurant this was happening. In a restaurant!

Maybe she was showing the customers the milk menu?

And this whole time I thought that was a special showing for Mr. Flopnuts and I? I don't feel so special anymore.

It was still special, she didn't give that show to anyone else (that trip)...

There must be an inside story I'm missing.

floppy and Rocky here shared a ride with us to the game after the bash last year. My wife likes to show her funbags every once and a while, or at least her bra. So she gave them a bit of a flash in the car. It was fun for the whole family entertainment.

This is why I insisted on paying the parking fees at Arrowhead...in one dollar bills

One of the restaurant patrons took a cell photo of rainman and describes it like the final scene of Lucas...Rainman, standing in a euphoric haze, arms raised in victory in an oversized jacket, so they all started the slow clap.

That's pretty much exactly how it went down.

**Rain Man** · 04-06-2011, 09:43 PM

Okay, this happened tonight.

I'm walking home, headed south and approaching a street corner, maybe 100 feet away.

Walking west is an old woman with a little tiny dog on a leash. This is probably an 8-pound dog, one of those little terriers. She's in the intersection going from the southeast corner to the southwest corner.

Walking east toward the southwest corner, and about half a block away, is some tall 20-something dude.

I'm minding my own business and I suddenly hear screaming. Loud screaming. Panicked screaming. I can't tell where it's coming from.

The old woman is now on the southwest corner of the intersection and has stopped. The 20-something guy is the one who was screaming and pointing at the dog, and he's saying something about the dog, but I can't understand it. He's now maybe 30 feet away from her, and he's stopped.

I figured that maybe he knew the woman, and he was making the dog feel good by pretending it was a wolf or something, so I paid him no mind.

I get into the intersection, close enough to hear what's going on. The old woman is on the corner, the dog is about ten feet out on the leash wanting to go toward the guy, but can't since he only weighs 8 pounds. The guy is about 10 feet from the dog, and he's telling the woman to go south, not east. I have no idea what's going on. Then the guy says, "I have a serious phobia about dogs! You have to go that direction!"

Apparently so.

**Rain Man** · 06-12-2011, 04:03 PM

I was sitting on my front steps today resting from my jog, and I saw two unusual sights about five minutes apart.

First, two teenage boys walked down the sidewalk in front of my house, one maybe 14 and the other maybe 16. The 16 year-old was brushing his teeth. He had no water or anything, but he had a toothbrush in his mouth and was brushing his teeth.

Second, less than five minutes later, a beat-up old pickup came down the street with some bearded old fellow behind the wheel. Perched atop the steering wheel, staring directly at the driver, was a large, live parrot. One of those big red and green and blue ones.

Worthless without pics...

On my walk home from work, I saw a young woman riding a bicycle, and she was wearing a duct tape skirt and a bubble wrap top. You know that temptation you always have to pop bubble wrap when you see it? Well...
