Someone at krav showed me a video of football players practicing feigning injuries, falling in different configurations, all accompanied by that urgent waving over of medical help.
Funny as shit.
I, uh, just don't have the link.
You know, I will do the pee pee dance rather than enter the women's room at the same time as any female coworker I talk to. It's a thing. Don't want to be drawn into a cross-cubicle conversation, one that's started outside, and they think to continue while you're in what should be a cone of silence.
I only needed to put on more lip gloss, and I swear it looked like she was going to someone's office. But damn if we a) don't end up in lockstep on the way to the loo, and b) she doesn't start talking to me.
I'm so happy she waited to finish the conversation before entering the stall. I'd have left her in midsentence and plead poor timing later.

I hate it when people try to carry on conversations with me in the bathroom. It's even worse when you get complete strangers try to strike up a conversation. "How's it going?" "Are you looking for the literal answer to that?"

There's an ad on tv over here at the moment that's just like that. Can't for the life of me remember what it's for though. Advertising works!
total change of subject ...
OK, it's been raining pretty much for the past week. Why can't people drive sensibly? it's almost as bad as when it snows! This morning the news was full of reports of roads closed because of accidents ... and admittedly, some of them may have been people driving sensibly but ran into a slick patch or standing water. BUT ... this morning the bus I was on got hit by a tour bus when its driver decided to try to go around the (stopped for a red light on a narrow section of stree) bus I was on, hit it, then tried to keep going. Ended with major damage to the Metro bus, the two buses jammed together, and Connecticut Avenue at Dupont Circle totally blocked. No one was hurt ... but the sheer stupidity of the tour bus driver appalls me. bah!
I'll bet DC tour bus drivers are as cognizant of their surroundings as most tourists in DC. Which is to say, not.

Having spun out earlier this week while leaving BWI because my friend didn't realize he needed new tires on his car, I can only say I felt pretty stupid without it even being my fault. I can only imagine what drivers like that go through!
Some things can't be avoided ... but when you're on a narrow roadway and decide you're going to try to squeeze past a bus to go through a red light, that's stupidity.
You know who are stupid? Dell customer service, and the runarounds I've been on all day trying to make sure my sister's laptop purchase goes through in a timely manner. Seven or so people, six or so different stories.
PLUS the boss's boss asked for a newly organised document, but I have to leave for the doctor in two minutes. I can sure post here while on call with Dell, but actual work is a little more difficult.

I'm with you there. Every single time I've had to call Dell support I feel like I'd have had a better and more useful time applying a hand drill to my head. Apparently their Enterprise-level support for their servers is a completely different story (as our sysadmins give us funny looks whenever we complain about Dell), but their PC/laptop level support is absolutely terrible.
