Why does everyone think I am a broad?:D

Think that's bad? I've said it before in the previous trivial thread, and it still happens. People coming up to me thinking I work there. It happens in Dunnes, Tesco, and the other night I'm standing in SPAR waiting for the young lad to get a carton of milk, when a woman came up to me - "I'm looking for your Easter eggs?".

Now I had an eye-patch on, sunglasses on to protect the one good eye, my earphones in, and a crutch in one hand... and this woman is coming up to me thinking I actually work there! I had to take off the sunglasses and pop the earphones to check I'd picked her up properly - "Excuse me?", "Easter eggs!"...

"They're right behind you there". I figured I could help her out since I knew where they were, instead of escorting her over to one of the many staff members identified by the big SPAR logos on their uniforms!

Guilty as charged (although one or two photos so you can look and say "ah cute, happy for them, must start thinking about doing that before I dry up" is fine - I draw the line at the following: baby yoga, placenta smoothies, baby sign language, militant "dont you dare criticise me for breastfeeding" posts, pictures of bumps and ultrasounds and gushing posts from Grannies who ought to know better given they too have lived the novelty of procreation who shout about the child being "amazing, the best in the world" etc - yeah yours and everybody else's it seems... I'm all for competitiveness but how can one ever truly say their child is the best when nobody is willing to concede that theirs might be thoroughly average??

What on earth?!

Water is clear.

There is a shade of green called sea green it is irrelevant anyway. The colour on the site was green, i cant match it exactly but this is close:

Water is blue. Very, very pale blue.

People who walk around mindlessly in circles while chatting on their cell.

Guilty. Inherited trait. Poor mother gets driven demented if either my dad or I have to take a phonecall. He rearranges the furniture when on the phone, I climb on things in a sort of loop. Onto the fireplace-> off the fireplace-> onto the chair -> onto the couch -> onto the other couch -> onto the ottoman -> onto the windowsill -> onto the fireplace and so on until the call is over.

Whenever I'm on my way through a hospital in Galway or Limerick to an outpatient appointment people mistake me for a doctor for some reason, no idea why Maybe I just have the appearance of a stuck up domineering bitch consultant. I'm really nice, honest.

Maybe you just look really, really intelligent. Not everyone has the brains for medical school.

People that ask ''Why are you so quiet''

Has to be a rhetorical question, There is no way anyone can be so idiotic to expect an honest answer.

They are waiting for the silence that follows to tell themselves....."see I told you so!! :-D"

Went in to get myself measured once, she measured me and told me the size I thought I was. Went out and picked up a few different 36dd's and do you think any of them fitted me??? Had to try all different sixes in all of them in the end.

There's the two sizes - under and over, great you got that figured out. You know now how tight/loose the bra should be so lets get to the shopping business. Oh wait, but then there are the different cup styles and padding, well dammit! And when you finally think you got a hang of it you realise that almost each brand is a bit different. Bra shopping you say? It's a whole science! :pac:
