"I lost it 3 months ago! It's sentimental!"

[Sonoma]

Happy Birthday, Sonoma.

Happy Birthday Sonoma !

Thanks for the b-day wishes. Actual day is tomorrow, but I have my last chemo treatment today, so won't be up for too much celebrating or eating the next few days. My happy b-day to myself is having Salvation Army come get my old couch, so I can get my living room back. Treated myself to a new microfiber, dual reclining couch. Much better than the 17-year old beast I bought when I got my first apartment.

Now, back to our regularly-scheduled thread...

. . . this thread is a big compilation of different shifts shits.

Fixed that for you.

What? You mean you don't implement a scorched tables policy to protect birthday princesses?

Cat Herder, you owe me a new keyboard! It's not _my_ fault I ignored Rule #1!

Seriously, that is hiliarious! I may need to steal borrow that sometime!

Happy Birthday Sonoma !

Happy Birthday, Sonoma.

CW: I will be on the look out for whiny Facebook posts.

Can I borrow your coworker to deal with my SCs? Just for the entertainment value.

Ooooo, her "special day'! Poor thing's going to have hysterics the day she realizes that other people actually celebrate their birthday on the same day she does. She'll probably sue them to make them change their birthday.

My friend & I went to IHOP for my b-day breakfast this morning. I would have never even thougt to have a halo of empty tables surrounding us. <sarcasm on> They had the gall to sit people immediately behind me!!! We had to share the room with other diners. OMG - what a horrid experience!!!
<sarcasm off>

Why did Her Ladyship have to be at the pub, anyway? Was the manor house undergoing renovations? Did the servants have the night off?

So birthday girl doesn't want anyone around her? I seem to recall reading about some table in an outdoor garden, pretty sure no one else would bother her out there.

If a lousy scarf has such sentimental value, then why has it been 3 months before the lady finally realized that it was missing?

And why can they not even remember what colour it was? Yep, very sentimental.

I wonder if they just left their scarf at home on a cold day and were hoping someone had turned one in so they could claim it as theirs and have a free scarf.

SC: Oh no! I need that scarf! It has sentimental value!
Me: When exactly did you leave it here?
SC: I dunno. Some time before Christmas I think.
Me: So nearly three months ago?
SC: What does that matter? You should have it! Go and look again!

Clearly wasn't that important, if you didn't realize it was gone until NOW. (Or didn't do anything about it until NOW.)

SC: I’m a journalist and I am going to write something damning about you on the Internet! You are finished!
CW: I will be on the look out for whiny Facebook posts.

I took the phone off her, disconnected the call and handed it back.

BG: You are the worst person I’ve ever met!
Me: Then you are very lucky.

Very well put.

I don't know why, but when I read the second story, a Simpson's clip came to mind. I think it was from Flaming Moe's, when Homer's shouting that Moe lost himself a customer, over the sounds of the cash register ringing up sales. (At least I'm pretty sure that's how it went.)

Don't know why the second story brought that scene to mind, but it made me smile.

As for Daddy's Birthday Girl, I'm not sure what would have been funner... Listening to 'daddy' try to make his pwecious liddle girl happy. Or just hanging up on him like you did. For your SAN score, hanging up was probably the right answer.

[PepperElf]

Me: I will just go and look out the back and see if it is in lost property. What colour is it?
SC: I dunno. Can’t remember.
SC: Oh no! I need that scarf! It has sentimental value!

Yeah, so sentimental that the SC can't even remember what it looks like? yeah right!

SC: I’m a journalist and I am going to write something damning about you on the Internet! You are finished!

She stormed out the pub. I yelled “BYE BYE” as she went.

I'm not sure which is the better Pwnage - the facebook comment from above, or the "bye bye" thrown back into her face.

(although is it bad that I'm hearing that in the voice of the Master? )

it's my birthday!

Happy birthday, veruca salt. bleh.

[Mikkel]

Why didn't the guy know what color it was?

Because he was beginning to have a sore throat and wanted a scarf, any scarf, for the walk home?
