cbjulian Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I hate cluttered spaces especially when the clutter is human. Like malls. There is not much I hate more than a crowded mall around Christmas. Everyone is acting all cheery and full of holiday merriment when they are really miserable and full of holiday debt but they can't realize it because the Prozac wont let them frown. Disgusting. On the flip side, I love driving through leaves on a cool, cloudy fall day and watching them all scatter in a picturesque, almost hollywoodish manner in my rear-view mirror. I also like hot showers and bubble baths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is acting all cheery and full of holiday merriment when they are really miserable and full of holiday debt but they can't realize it because the Prozac wont let them frown. Disgusting. Fa la la la! And I thought I was being negative before (which I kind of felt guilty about). I don't like human clutter, either. Especially when it's cold because peoples' jackets and coats make them larger than they really are and spaces tighter. I don't like to wear jackets if I can't help it, because it feels like I've been swallowed by a Muppet and makes me not aware of my size. It's not like the jackets have nerves in them. You can't feel anything like whether or not you're dragging your arm through filth, which is always a top concern. Crowded resturants are bad because there are people on all sides of you and if their jackets are puffy it makes it worse. I just realized I must have claustrophobia when it comes to bulky coats.

BryanS Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Since when does a Whopper have sauce? I think you're talking about a Big Mac. Should've had a McRib (with sauce).I don't know. BK Worker #1 kept screaming it. BK Worker #2 was Pakistani or Indian, and didn't seem to know much English. Maybe "sauce" is code words for mayo, ketchup, mustard, and whatever else they put on the whopper. No sauce=> plain. Or maybe BK Worker #2 was confused as he did not know what "no sauce" means as whoppers don't have "sauce" to begin with. Nonetheless it was humorous to watch that exchange. And be thankful that I have a professional job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to prove that I live in one of the hottest places in US, I refuse to buy a coat. Walking from my house to the driveway, from the car to the elevator, or running from the car inside the store don't require a coat. Just my opinion.
