Houston, we have elimination

Things came out OK. I had to resist the urge to say, "Good job!" when he called with the news. With that, I shall cease talking about my father's urinary situation. I know you are all relieved.

"Relieved". I crack me up.

Now, what else shall we talk about? Since I am about to go to lunch, how about we speak of those annoying people who can't comprehend the type of line where, even though there are multiple registers or stations, customers line up, and, the front person proceeds to the next available register. Inevitably, some miscreant will walk in and go straight to a register despite the fact that there are throngs of people waiting in an obvious, and, orderly fashion.

I hate that. Just thought you should know.

Just as I'm commenting on the other post, you update! If it were me, I would have given him a sticker for the potty chart... but that's just me. Can you tell what my life is revolving around right now??

Congratulations Houston - and to the solution of that problem.

Cas (I was going to say elimination of the problem, but that was a bit tacky)

Oh, that just drives me nuts!!!

It happened to me just the other day, while waiting to get lunch. To make matters worse, after I (while being a gentleman) pointed out to this lady the err of he ways, proceeded to declare (in a voice loud enough for everybody to hear, "But I am in a hurry!"

Oh, I'm sorry, the rest of us are spending our lunchtime here on line because we have nothing better to do! Fortunately, since she was so loud in her assertation of her self-importance, she managed to rile a large group of people that let her know in no uncertain terms just how full of herself she was, and I didn't need to utter another peep.

Glad to hear everything, "came out" alright with your Dad. I'm sure if he had to have the catheter reintroduced he would have been pissed. (Sorry, I couldn't resist).

I hate that too - particularly when we're all lined up for the restroom at the big stadium...

so are you telling me I'm a nuisance for being a line cutter?? ;)

I guess that means there won't be any more piss poor jokes ;)

What? You go to places where people line up orderly? Do tell - those places disappeared here YEARS ago!

Line jumpers piss me off! I tell ya, they make me see yellow.

does hallmark make a card for your father's ummm, situation? cuz if it did, i'd get it for you. if they don't have one, perhaps you should submit it.

also, with the lines, it seems i'm always the next person when they show up... sigh.

No shit! Glad the problem is fixed!

good for dad! You are hilarious my friend. A favorite blog of mine. :)

That's funny, lunch lines piss you off and your father can now piss. Good tie in.

"Relieved" made me laugh. Out loud. Which is a little sad.

But good job, Busy Grandpa! Whoo hoo! Pop Tarts for everyone!

Glad to hear your dad's problem is now null and void. ;-)

So, that one time I was imprisoned for a short while? It was because some Main Line bitch decided to get in front of the rest of us. I had to act. My street cred was in jeopardy.

Ok, in seriousness, there is a cute clip of Mandy Patinkin in his new series making certain this woman doesn't cut in front of everyone else. Should I find it, I shall email you.

See? Women who say "I shall..." don't end up in prison.

Oh, crap. Martha Stewart did. Must. Rethink. This.

See, this is why I'm a huge bitch, because I'm always the person waiting in line who will say to the cutter...."Excuse me, but we were all waiting in line" or some variant thereof.

It works.

Ahhggghh - don't even go there with Queue (line) jumping with we Brits - wars have been started over that!!!!
Glad your dad is a bit more back to normal!

You're a whiz, BM! ...snicker, snicker..

Oh, yeah... cutinskis. Hate that. And if they cut in front at the ice cream stand? They WILL hear from me. Nothing gets between me and my cone.

I was on line today at an elegant garden luncheon, waiting my turn for a first go at the buffet table, when a woman busily came up and cut in line, get this, to get SECONDS! She then proceeded to stand so close to me I could feel her plate in my back! Later, I was standing around, and another woman acted like she was going to walk right through me because I was in her path to the raffle table! Hello!? What about saying, "Pardon me." Some people have no sense of personal space or precedence. It's outrageous and may I say, pervasive. I did not confront anyone, however, because they were my elders and because it was an elegant function where drawing attention to someone else's behavior would have been more noticeable than the original faux-pas. It doesn't seem to matter how lovely the weather or setting, when you put food and prizes out in front of people, they seem to go insane.

Grrrr... I hate that too!
