Not My ‘Breast’ Moment
At the coffee shop this morning I’m trying to find a quiet table near the back and I pass by this woman holding a baby. It’s super cute and I kind of lean in to inspect it a little better but the woman jerks it away and looks up at me like I’m crazy or wielding a knife or a wolverine or something and it’s only then that I realize that she’s breast feeding. Sigh.
Some people really amaze me. Talk about an activity inappropriate for a public forum…

No kidding. Plus it’s totally unfair using a cute baby as bait. I mean, you don’t see me at the coffee shop holding a kitten over my naked crotch. It’s pretty much the same thing.

it’s not pretty much the same thing… it’s EXACTLY the same thing, just with less extortion of children.

I was having a BBQ last year and realized I had no tortilla chips, so I ran to the market real quick to grab some and get out. So I find the right aisle and there is this guy with his back to me blocking the aisle.
So I give him the ol’ “Excuse Me.”
Nothing.
“Excuse Me… Sir? Can you please move?”
Nothing.
In a quite loud and forceful tone, “Excuse me!”
As the guy finally moves, there revealled is his mom giving him sign language. The guy was deaf. My heart fell into my stomach and I was so embarrased and dejected. I grabbed my chips and took off.

Ouch. Yeah, that’s the worst. At least you didn’t say “What are you? Deaf?”
