 No really, I left my Invisibility Cloak at home Minimize

Do you ever have those days, whether it’s real or imagined where it seems as though you are invisible?  As you’re driving, people are cutting you off left and right as though your car isn't there.  Then you continue your day by walking in a common area such as a mall and people act as if you’re not right in front of them.  A family of six will walk SIDE BY SIDE and seem to be surprised and annoyed when you’re forced to plow through the middle of them as if it were a game of Red Rover.

 

It’s one thing to be looking elsewhere, such as to the side, and not see a person you might walk into.  It’s totally another thing to be gabbing to your gaggle of gasbags while making eye contact with someone in front of you and still make no attempt to partially move.  Even sarcastic mutterings of “Am I invisible today?” make no headway into the thick skulls of these selfish human canker sores.  At least turn your shoulder to the side like I am doing so it doesn’t look like we’re practicing shoulder checks.

 

Even more annoying is if a clueless parent cuts his stroller in front of a pregnant woman and either is oblivious to the fact that he almost ran over her foot or simply is a prick pretending not to see her.  Since I have a low opinion of humanity, I choose the latter.

 

Can you guess what happened to us at the mall this weekend?  Skullfuck ‘em all.

You have hit a nerve here Jimbo - not seeing you, easy, not seeing a 6'2" 235lb baby gorilla, come on! I gave up some time ago being polite to these monkey's and now plow them over! They can't seem to give you an inch and when they walk 2+ abreast and can't give a bit of the sidewalk, I take pleasure on seeing the stricken looks on their faces after a vicious shoulder check!<br>The only thing that has worked for me in the past has been when I am dressed in biker gear and have shouted quite loudly, MOVE MOTHERFUCKER! Boy do they ever! But in polite society, a less boisterous move motherfucker works okay too.

Wow - I am impressed - Milo spelled and used "Boisterous" correctly....someone got a vocabulary for Christmas! ;)

Is that your online version of not getting out of the way? wait a sec while I put on my D&D gear and tell your 4th level wizard ass to MOVE MOTHERFUCKER!

The D&D geeks are mad at you...Apparently, it's a "Cloak of Invisibility", dumbass!

Milo's comments reminded me of one of my favorite "Milo moments"...for those of you who don't know him, Mr. Milo is a rather solidly built guy. Well one night we were having a party at the fraternity house and we're loitering out front and a guy walks by with two young ladies. Brett yells out "Hey ladies, how bout you drop that loser and come party with a real man." One of the girls looks at the guy and says, "Did you hear what that guy said? Are you gonna take that?" To which the guy replied "You see the size of that guy? I sure am." To which Brett just mockingly laughed as they all slinked away. I'll let James talk about his favorite "Milo Moment" which involves tacos and chalk!

Sorry but I seriously really detest bitch ass loser 'ladies' like that - too freaking precious for living. Needing attention any way she can get it. <br><br>Why didn't she say some appropriate thing like, Fuck off, you're the lonely loser! NO that terrible bee-otch I would've kicked her ass myself someday.<br><br>Why don't YOU start some talking shit that you can handle yourownself, woman?! I just hate them sometimes. Dare I say sorority bitches? I think I may. No offense to any reading this, you're probably not the same type.<br><br>I live in a city of Chinese thinking. If you don't move for me when you should, oh well. If you don't think that a sweet looking little old lady will bum rush with elbows to get on the bus first, you'd be wrong.

When a truck turned in front of my new boss and I in the crosswalk soon after he was hired, I said through the open window in front of me, "What am I, InVISible here?!?!" My boss said I'd fit right in on the East Coast. (This was before he know me very well. :¬)

This software<br><br>lets you<br><br>use the Enter key<br><br>instead of having to type in <br>

Re: No really, I left my Invisibility Cloak at home    By James on 7/13/2007 10:37 AM

Dorks! I forgot what the blog was about. Damn! Talk about all over the board today. That's Friday the 13th for ya', huh? <br><br>James, Erich, Milo, chalk, and taco? Do tell . . . .<br><br>I'm convinced that the blowers used at the entrance of the malls and/or Walmart are the reasons dumbass' don't move outta the way. The wind tunnel wipes out all brain matter upon their entrance to the facilities. It's like they think they are the ONLY fuckers in the store!! Run you over with the carts...take up the entire walkway at the mall....slow down to a crawl - - that shit gets me - - get in front of me and slow the hell down just to annoy whoever is behind you. <sigh> This is why I don't shop at Walmart. I don't have a blog to relieve stress. I'd go postal. Malls. Well. I stay away from those, too. I shop via internet. Guess I just don't like to be around people. Tolerating folks at the office is about my limit. <br>
