So who knew the episode?
Sheldon: "It's a sports metaphor."
Penny: "A sports metaphor?"
Sheldon: "Yes, baseball."
So this got me to thinking... what would be 3 biggest offenses someone could do to me to be ousted from my inner circle? would i agree with Sheldon's first strike related to Penny sending him junk emails (forwards)? to be honest, I have 3 email addresses plus the blog. I give one email to my PopPop to which he sends forwards and jokes. I give one for bills, subscriptions, registrations, friends and then my work email. So this isn't a huge problem for me, so no that strike didn't make it for me. Do I care about a particular seat? Not really but to be honest, no one would take my seat. Where Sheldon is a wimpy guy, I'm a very direct gal and typically people know what I want and give it to me... RJ would say its easier than listening to me although he challenges me quite often!
Here are some things that I would call strikes:
- Monolpolizing a conference call with chit chat or complaining. I can whine with the best of them but we have an agenda to get through. As I said to someone the other day, can she put her grown up pants on and get it done already
- Being passive aggressive. If you have a problem with me; professionally or personally, "suit up" and tell me already. If you can't then my advice is to go find the person who is holding your balls, beg for them to be returned and call me when they are reattached and you're ready to deal.
- Cab Drivers who feel the need to chat with me my entire ride (thanks to sassytwosocks for her tweet that reminded me of this annoying bullshit). Also, cab drivers who say they accept ccs and then their piece of shit machines don't work and I'm left scrambling for an atm and trying to make my flight!
- Skinny bitches who claim they don't exercise, eat whatever they want, don't throw up but they are almost 30 or older. Stop f'n lying; metabolism slows down. Either your idea of eating whatever you want is different than the average person, you do work out or you puke and you know it. I especially Love when said bitches have those mouths that just shout, I puke!
- People who say they don't watch tv and look down on those who do... listen, I like books.. actually I love reading. And I like hanging with my friends but sometimes there is nothing better than mindless time in front of the boob tube. Not to mention there is some great tv our there in addition to the mind numbing television.
I mean if you have a sense of humor and you've never enjoyed The Big Bang Theory or How I met your Mother
Or you like food and you've never seen Guy Fieri Triple D & Anthony Bourdain No Reservations.. I'm seriously considering a whole post on suggestions for Triple D (everyone loves greasy or comfort food or both at least once in their adult life)
Or you like mystery and staring at my TV husband check out Fringe
note he is not my tv husband when he does the klingon thing with his forehead
Or you like outdoorsy stuff and learning, check out Mark & Olly
Oh and if you pay for premium channels like me, then you have to
love Entourage, Big Love, Secret Diary of a Call Girl and I'm even a little into the United States of Tara
Or hell if you like making fun of idiots, you need to check out Property Virgins (this couple was especially irritating!) or My First Place (they get a room done as a prize for being idiots; come on! this is encouraging these morons).... these people are so dumb that they make RJ angry most of the time
**Ok point made, maybe I need a separate post just to tell you the shows I like and why. Back to the strikes -->
- People who judge... listen up aholes; you haven't walked in my shoes... you want to make fun for something silly I did or said, one of my many falls or embarassing moment; go ahead. But don't judge me or anyone else for that matter. "First of all, you don't know me. Second of all, you don't know me"
* Anyone know that quote? If so, you know my guilty tv pleasure
- Incompetent Baggers
- People who expect to be applauded for just showing up... ooh did you wipe your own ass today too... see the above comment about wearing your big girl pants.. in these people's cases, I don't care if they want the reassurance so they wear depends.. I'm not going to coddle you
Whoa... way more than 3. I could have kept going. But I won't. I have to get back to the grind. Feel free to comment with your own strikes, I'd love to hear them and they give me inspiration for my own tirades! And I overloaded you with links, I'll cut that down next time... I went a little nuts!
btw, the actual episode title is "The panty pinata polarization"
And if you were wondering, there is no kryptonite for THE Queen of Drama Queens and if there were, it definitely wouldn't be calling my mommy on me
