Maybe the patented Buffista ma hasn't failed me yet!
I got a call from my aunt saying that she doesn't think her boss has called anyone for interviews.
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

They're part of the same system, so I didn't think it mattered.
yes, it does. I had two phones that were almost exactly the same (one had an answering machine, one didnt), and if I put the wrong one on the charger, they didn't charge.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I would argue that it's not a boy/girl thing in the sense of genetically ingrained, but rather that, in general, it's not socially expected. Mr. Jane can be really thoughtful and sweet, but it's not as fundamental for him to worry about whether I'm comfortable.
This is why I say a certain degree of considerateness. I absolutely do not think it's intentional. Maybe, like you say, more nurture than nature. I've had a non-jerk in my life amazed because when I knew he was coming over I made sure to have Coke in the fridge (I'm a Pepsi drinker, he detests it); or the one who was amazed that I brought him pepper (that he hadn't asked for and which I generally don't use, but he always did) when I went back into the restaurant for napkins. Not that I'm such a paragon of awesomeness, just brains running in slightly different grooves, I suppose.
A hearty congratulations and thank you to our Boy Bitches who have bucked convention.
Yes, this!
and have I mentioned that my TV is dead? this is no way to be sick
Oh noooooes! Adding insult to injury! Please tell me you've got DVD's and a working computer at least?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Yay, askye!
Glaring is fine. I think I'll be ignoring when I finally get home.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I just got a good one!
Me: [Company Name], this is DJ!
Dumbass: Is this [government agency]?
Me: No, this is [Company name], can I help you?
Dumbass: Oh, I thought this was [government agency]...
Me:...No sir.
Dumbass: Can I just go in and get [whatever it was]
Me: Uhm, you'll have to ask [government agency]
Dumbass:Are you sure you're not [government agency]
Me:Yes sir.
Dumbass: Cause I thought you were...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hooray Suzi! Looking forward to more details so I can squee along.
Job~ma for askye.
Sympathy for Daisy Jane. Not eating for that long makes everything else that much more aggravating. Not the time for DH to come over all clueless.
I got all my medical invoices from 2007 today. Yay? One of them is billing me for more than my insurance claim says I should pay. Sigh.

Ha! on the Dumbass call. Those are my favorites. Because, really, you might be mistaken.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
That last one just made me laugh. You know, since the phone isn't ringing off the hook with other stupid questions and I don't have a million things to do right now.
I helped sell NYE tickets at the bar one afternoon and Mr. Jane was all, "You're going to get a ton of stupid annoying questions" Dude. It's. What. I. Do. He wasn't wrong though, "What kind of bar is it? Is it fun?"
