People Watching

So today I go to my doctor's appointment, which is always a fun time to people watch. Little did I know I'd get an eye full. As I walk in, first thing I notice is the sofa that is right across from the receptionist's desk. There is a woman, pretty prego, sloched on the couch with her feet spread almost the entire way across the waiting area. As I go to take a seat, there is no way to avoid having to step over her feet.
She doesn't move, just sits there with a look of disgust. So I take a seat and grab a mag so I can avoid her icy stare. I swore she'd freeze me if I looked her way. I notice a cute little girl, maybe 4 yrs old, sitting quietly next to a greesy looking guy who looks as like he still listens to Def Leppard, really loud. He has dangly earrings (was that ever cool for men?!) and looks like he used Soul-Glo on his hair (no, he was white).As I leaf through a pathetic Country Living mag (it was the only one available, trust me, I grew up in the country, I have no desire to read about it) I hear, (in an outside voice) "Now you better behave your ass for your father while I'm in there or you're going to get it when we get outside!"
Yep, this made me jump in my seat and I almost had to tell the doctor that I left his urine specimen in the waiting area, sorry! I realize then that the greesy dad is the little girl's father and her mother is the woman all sprawled out like Queen Sheba. Why is he sitting on the other side of the room? And this little girl has been perfectly behaved, why such the harshness? Next a cell phone rings, or actually sings, and I swear it was hooked up to speakers. Annoying song + very loud + doctor's office... that's all I have to say. "Wazz-up girl, uh yeah I'm jus sittin' here at the doc's...yeah they pumped me full of steroids, guess I'll go any day now...yeah alright, I'll check ya lata." WHAT?! This woman all stretch out looks at least 40. I'm not judging, everyone has their own story that nobody knows. But some people just should not procreate...:::done:::

hahaha! that was a great post. i didn't recognize the writing dude. first i thought it was pumpo, but it was definately different. loved it. i totally got what you were talking about. it's really sad sometimes how stupid people are.

and how is it fair for someone like that to squeeze kids out like farts, but i still haven't gotten pregnant. it's been a year since my miscarriage and still nothing. pain in the ass. lol

yesterday i told rick i wouldn't give him any votes if he didn't leave me a message on the site... i'm starting to think that was a little silly. lol

you know rick... you could try giving him a nice lip balm to carry around. something with an spf. the water will definately help, but you can offer him a little extra protection. that and less visits to the bathroom. :)
