Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?  

[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.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I love Time Team and wish I could watch it online. Occasionally I catch eps that someone posts on YouTube but they get yanked pretty regularly.

Compassionately intolerant

I am an overtly friendly person in public. I speak to strangers all the time. I address passersby. I will pat your dog.

This:

Cheating off my debit card is just that--cheating.

Gives me the creeps. When a cashier calls me by my first name off my card, it really, truly bothers me...and I'm not even sure why. I know what they are doing, and I don't even have an issue with it being disrespectful. It just really, really bothers me. I don't have a decent retort, but I do walk away with a very bad feeling.

Safeway cashiers are forced to address customers by their first names and I hate it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I don't think someone having dirty thoughts about me is aggressive. That's in the act.

Nope, me neither. I'm referring to the creepy staring - that's the act. That hard stare that's clearly sexual but is different from the checking-you-out I-fancy-you look that if done right is not a direct continuous stare but repeatedly making eye contact and holding it for a second longer than usual for casual conversation.

This all can seem like a complicated choreography with Fizzbin rules.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The debit/credit card thing is to prevent fraud. They want to make sure you answer to the name on the card. Doesn't help if they mispronounce it, of course.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't have that fine-grained a filter--my general response to any stare that lasts too long is to assume the person's a lech. Silly, considering I'm probably stressing people like Steph out. But there's nothing a guy's ever pulled off in eye-to-eye contact with me that felt aggressive. Staring at my body or my lips in a patently mind-elsewhere-carnal way starts to blur things, but not straight up eye contact for me.

Is Time Team available online? I found some stuff on You Tube, but the quality was bad.

Completely irrelevant for me--my picture is on my debit card. Anyway, I answered to the Coffee Bean guy who called me Taylor for a month. I will answer to anything if it means getting the transaction over sooner.

I will just judge you until the end of time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Anyway, I answered to the Coffee Bean guy who called me Taylor for a month.

Um, how did that start?

Some possibly good news for Noise Design:

Interesting, but sadly that is Orlando Sanford, not Orlando International Airport. Sanford is a tiny little airport that manned by a handful of small commuter planes and charter flights.
