Naturally, I hope none of those idiots come out swinging when I openly object to their behavior.Marissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640540606897546407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667863265247186336.post-152591660690011472009-06-17T10:52:55.713-05:002009-06-17T10:52:55.713-05:00Something has happened to me in recent years, some...Something has happened to me in recent years, some scabbing over of the wounded soul, etc. I have always thought these thoughts, but now, occasionally, I find myself... saying them.<br /><br />A week and a half ago, I was out with friends at a place that has mini golf and a dozen other various amusements, which included batting cages. I've never done that before, so yay for new experience! And I'll probably never do it again, cos oof. But me and my buddy were waiting by the 45mph cage, and a young teenage couple were alternating turns. Like, he would go, then she would go. This is not how the system is supposed to work. Just like placing your quarter down on pacman, there are both implicit and explicit rules against hogging. As the boy finished and the girl was about to go back in, I said "Excuse me, do you think we could take a turn?" She said: "Yeah, when we're done."<br /><br />Oh. Oh no. Oh no she didn't.<br /><br />I didn't argue with them, but I certainly wasn't quiet with my comments. My buddy chimed in as well. It was not very long at all that they decided to go elsewhere, took their unused tokens and fled the batting cages entirely all tail-tucked. As she left, she actually said, "You can go, now." I said, "Thanks. I *really* appreciate it."<br /><br />Suffering in silence used to be my thing. I guess I got bored with that.boyonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667863265247186336.post-5756993492380539162009-06-17T10:14:45.816-05:002009-06-17T10:14:45.816-05:00I can't stand women like that either......you ...I can't stand women like that either......you had me laughing too with this post.Passiongirlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667863265247186336.post-23055226156509768522009-06-17T07:25:20.350-05:002009-06-17T07:25:20.350-05:00This post made me laugh.
