Stupid Is As Stupid Does

stupid

This graphic was on a friend’s Facebook wall. It made me laugh because she had just done something incredibly stupid last week.

She had a big fight with her boyfriend and kicked him out of the house. Then she was so mad at him that she hunted him down the next day and did something really stupid. I’m not going to bust her ass for what she did. But if you know her you will find out about it soon enough.

Whats for Dinner?

Just got home from work and was so tired that I wasn’t even thinking about what to do about dinner. I was just focused on getting the hell home and away from the job site. I got home and pulled open the refrigerator door and found almost nothing in there that can be nuked or even baked for my dinner.

I think I’ll just order pizza tonight. I haven’t done that in a long time, but I can order two or three and get a discount, then pop them into freezer bags and just pull out a slice or two when I want it over the next week or two.

Snake on a Plane

There was a bizarre movie that came out a few years ago about a couple dozen snakes that got lose on an airplane. I never watched that whole movie – it seemed pretty lame for a storyline and I am not even creeped out about snakes anyway. Some people act so fucking crazy when they see any snake or bug or anything unusual.

But I came to think of this movie because I was listening to some guys who run an airport while sitting at a table next to them at lunch. They were having a big laugh about some guy who flew his small plan into that airport and left it there for a couple of days. Then when he came back to fly it home, he took off from their small field but almost immediately called back to the tower and said he had an emergency.

Turns out that while that guy left his plane for a couple of days at the field, that a snake had come into his plane and made a home inside the plane’s dashboard. When he took off the snake was disturbed and came out from behind the dashboard and tried to get out of the plane. The dumb fuck was screaming into the radio “Emergency! Emergency!” and he turned it around and landed, got out of the plane as fast as he could, and threw himself down on the ground scared to death.

I don’t know what the fuck I would do if a snake came crawling out of a dashboard, but I don’t think I would be screaming like a little girl and shitting myself. What a putz!

No Cash

I’m a little pissed off. I got a new ATM card in the mail. I didn’t ask for the damn thing, but evidently they expire every couple of years, so the bank sends out a new one.

So I got the new card out of the envelope – almost threw it away because it looked like junk mail. The letter said to call a toll free number and jump through hoops to validate the card. I called the number and pressed this, then I pressed that, then I pressed something else and I was getting pretty fucking tired of all the instructions. And then the phone call just ended. The bank never said congrats you are finished, or thanks for doing business with us. It just terminated the call. WTF?

But I figured it was good. Until I went to the fucking ATM today and the card wouldn’t get accepted. I needed to draw out some cash and the card was declined. WTF?
