valentine's day Service with a Smile

The Jetplanes sometime frequent a pizza chain near our house. Its quick and pretty cheap. We have had the same waitress the last 2 times we've been. She's quite an interesting young lady.

About 2 months ago the Jetplanes parked and started walking up to the restaurant. The waitress is standing outside smoking a cigarette. She asks us, "You guys aren't eating in are you?"

Mr. Jetplane "Well... that is kinda why we're here at the restaurant."

Waitress: "Sorry. I didn't mean it like that. Its just every time I try to take a smoke break someone comes to eat."

Mr. Jetplane "Oh I know... I hate it when that happens."

Waitress: "Yeah... oh well. Let me finish this. Just go in and seat yourself. Just stay near the windows on the left side of the restaurant."

So we walk in and seat ourselves and over all the meal was fine.

Fast forward several weeks and the Jetplanes visited the pizza establishment again. I notice that the same waitress is there and asks us to please seat ourselves. We do so and she comes to our table and we order. We know what we want. We pretty much always get the same thing... yeah I know... we live dangerously.

Then after ordering Mr. Jetplane says.. "Thanks Jackie" (or whatever her name tag said, for this purpose we'll call her Jackie)

We make our way up to the salad bar and Mr. Jetplane finishes before I do. He sits down right when Jackie is delivering our drinks.

She whispers to him.... "Do we know each other?"

Mr. Jetplane: "Excuse Me?"

Jackie: "Do we know each other? You called me by my name!"

Mr. Jetplane: "What you don't remember me?"

Jackie: "No I'm sorry I don't."

Mr. Jetplane: "I'm joking.... You're wearing a name tag!"

Jackie: "Oh!"

And she walked away....

FYI - if anyone is wearing a name tag... Mr. Jetplane will call you by your name no matter what. He always does and I find it so funny when people get freaked out by it.

valentine's day I don't have many pet peeves but....

I do have some and recently they have been aggravated....

1. If you leave a room, turn off the light, especially the bathroom.

2. If you have the last soda in a carton, throw out carton. I see it and can almost taste it, and for there to be none in there.... I find it hard to not want to punch you in the face.

3. Please don't invade my personal space. I don't like close talkers and people that feel they need to touch me when they are talking to me. Don't put your hand on my shoulder while you walk by and say "Hi", it totally freaks me out.

4. Please don't make me see your butt crack in public places. I know you feel a draft when your shirt rides up and pants fall down. I've been there, I know.

5. Please don't ask me if my pug is that dog from that movie. And don't say to me, oh I've seen those around a lot lately, its very trendy. I've had him for almost 6 years, I'm not being trendy. Look at him, his has gray hair, does he look like a freaking puppy.

6. And finally I have a serious issue with people wearing shoes and their toes stick out over the tops of them. For some reason it disturbs me, I don't know why but it does. Sorry, maybe I'm a weirdo, but it totally freaks me out. If your foot is hanging over your shoe, it might be too small. Case in point, these are 2 very well known celebrities at the Golden Globes wearing very expensive shoes and it grosses me out.

Sorry for the Debbie Downer moment. Bitching closed for this morning.

Happy Hump Day to you all...
