TRIGGERED PEOPLE

First off, this was years ago and at this point I'd just ignore the person and let them be offended all by themselves for no valid reason, rather than try to explain. Also I have mellowed with age and would not have gotten snarky with them now.

So I was depressed and out in a coffee shop. I was sitting there kind of blankly looking off into space. This woman sat where I was looking and I honestly did not even notice her siting there.

Well she saw me looking and took offence. She said to stop staring at her. Well I explained I was not looking at her and just staring blank into space. She of course did not believe this.

Well I then told her I thought it was very sexist of her to think I was lusting after her and that seemed to trigger the shit out of her. So off she went on some angry rant on how only MEN can be sexist some how.

Well at this point I was sue she was mentally ill and told her I knew a good physiologist and would give her his card. Well that did not go over well.

At was at this point the barista told her she had to leave and she then went on on him about how he was trying to oppress her. I'm not even joking - that's what she said. Sigh.

Looking back it's obvious she was damaged goods and I should have just looked away and let her go on to her friend how evil the man was. But at the time I figured being a bit funny with the sexist thing was going to work for some reason. I honestly can't imagine why at this point.

Just realize that there are a growing number of people who desire to be a victim and are looking for a reason to express how you are holding them down - even if you don't actually care they exist - or you are actually trying to help them. Sigh.

A good example other than coffee house woman was a woman I held a door for. She stopped and screamed "fuck you, you piece of shit, I can open the door myself". Well all my life I was taught to hold the door for people as I was going in if they where close to me. The old man I held it for a short time before did not call me down. BUT. Victim...

I think my all time favorite was when I said "It's a great day out there don't you think" to some older guy one time. Well he lost his shit. I mean I honestly thing he had a psychotic break at that exact moment. I figured he was going to drop dead he was turning so red.

Some days you just can't win, but most of the time people just ignore you being friendly - and yes some are friendly back. So it's all good.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

10 Questions Answered

1. How many times have you seen the time as exactly 8:18 am/pm in your life? Almost never. If I did I did not take note of it. 11:11 I always remember as well as 3:33. The middle of the night where all the horror movies have things happen is said to be 3:15am - you have no idea how many times I’ve woken up at 3:15am and looked at my phone. 2. What have you lived long enough to see? The list is rather long, but I’ll try to keep it short. Computers went from filling a room bigger than my apartment, to fitting in our pockets. When I worked in data entry, the entire building was using a 1GB drive that was the size of a stove. Now my 512GB micro SD card is smaller than a fingernail. Medical treatments like Stem Cells are not giving life back to people who would have died when I was younger. Medication I’m on did not exist 15 years ago, and it’s keeping me alive. All manner of medical wonders. Personal space travel. This was fiction when I was young, and now it’s happening. Then there is uns

Had a Great Birthday Lunch

Image
Went out on the 14th for my birthday lunch with friends. It was very enjoyable. I got the Jambalaya pasta and a Doctor Pepper (free refills so I had 3). Because I was celebrating my birthday, I got an ice cream sandwich for free and the "birthday song" sang to me. In the photo you see what my friends got me - Kicking Horse 454 Coffee and Double Chocolate TimTams, and a card. Earlier I posted a review of cookies I was sent by another friend. I also got some silverware. This is literally the first time in my life I have new silverware. I had been using very old ones for many years - at home with my parents, they had an even older set. I also never owned a salad fork LOL. There was no tea spoons with it, so I have older tea spoons still. I tried to look for just tea spoons, but they came in large numbers and I don't need 60 of them, I just want 4. I also got a total of $140 gifted to me by several nice people. I got some stuff I need and a toy I wanted (personal kind of toy)
