Misc The Chiefsplanet Peoplewatching Thread - Page 2

**Rain Man** · 08-02-2006, 04:42 PM

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.

NO MEAT!

**Rain Man** · 08-02-2006, 06:09 PM

They're only yelling because if you put meat on it they'll go to hell or something. They really can't emphasize that point enough.

And a red light doesn't really mean "stop" until it's been lit for at least 5 seconds.

I also describe them looking like "a golf ball in a tube sock".

A couple more minor peoplewatching observations.

1. When I was driving into work today, I saw a guy on a bike with an unusual haircut. He had kind of bushy hair on the sides, but looked to be bald on the top. He had then shaved the back of his head at the same width of the bald spot, in essence leaving a bushy puffball of hair in either side of his head, with nothing in the middle. It looked rather like he had cocker spaniel ears instead of hair.

2. I had lunch today at a middle eastern restaurant, and our waiter had some combination of a middle eastern accent, a Bronx accent, and some kind of minor speech impediment. It was one of the more interesting and grating accents I've heard in a while.

VonneMarie · 08-06-2006, 03:11 PM

I was getting my regular pedicure yesterday and this women who was sitting in the chair next to me was gettine her feet done, and all you could see was big pieces of skin and nails floating around in the water and around on the floor.

Yeah, it was gross.

That's all.

big nasty kcnut · 08-06-2006, 03:24 PM

Ok what about when a bum come to your work fat ugly and smelly and then have the nerve to give me crap cause you ask if he need anything.

OKay, for some reason a faulty synapse in my brain has been emitting band names into my consciousness lately. I don't know why - I don't have a band. I am not thinking about forming a band. But these names keep popping into my head. Four of Five Doctors.

The animal kingdom has been pretty well picked over since the sixties, what with the Beatles, the Birds, The Eagles, the Monkees, and of course the Animals. MilkMilkLemonade

For every Poison or Anthrax, there is the Cure. With the number of garage or basement bands or wannabe bands, you might think all conceivable names have already been taken. Part of the Problem

What makes a good band name, anyway? It has to be reasonably short, yet something rememberable. City or state names (ie Chicago or Kansas) might get some popularity from their respective regions, but any other band using a municiple name is just being a copycat. Young kids in bands want something edgy, just a little dangerous, yet acceptable enough to be able to tell their mothers the name of the band they are in. Itinerate Stalwarts

I hope I get over this phase.

Sounds almost like a Larry Fine wannabe.

May I suggest my favorite band name from Jello Biafra's rant about them: Video Sex Pope.
