Mass Drivers Suck

OK, people.

So I just got back from going out with my grandfather. We went to Target and the Texas Roadhouse. So I kinda started out not really with it. And I realized this when I got down to my car and realized I hadn't brought the twin mattress pads I was going to return. So I had to go all the way back up to my house and my room and get the pads and the receipt. Then as I was driving to his house, I realized I had passed the right hand turn I was supposed to make like 2 minutes prior. So I had to turn around.

Things were fine from then on. Well, until we got to Target. So really for only, like, 10 minutes. So we get into Target, and he was looking for handkerchiefs. We couldn't find them ourselves, so we decided to ask an employee. The first guy I asked was kinda silly. He was saying he knew they had them because he'd bought them for his own father for his birthday or Christmas, I wasn't really paying attention, but he didn't know where because it wasn't his department. So he asks some other lady, and she tells us that they only stock handkerchiefs around the Christmas season. So now my grandfather's all ticked because he really needs them. And understandable because seriously, who only stocks handkerchiefs at Christmas? That's just weird.

So then we get in the truck and decide to check Bed, Bath and Beyond just for good measure. So as we're pulling out of the Target parking lot, I'm waiting for my turn to take a right and the guy behind me beeps. So I'm like, What?! I can't go! There are cars coming. So I see cars in the right hand lane all have their right hand blinkers on so I decide to pull out. Well, surprise! One of them wasn't turning right. And we almost crashed. And then they flipped me off. And that made my grandfather angry because it was their fault. Bed, Bath and Beyond didn't have the handkerchiefs.

Then we headed over to the Roadhouse for lunch. We get seated and the waitress came over to introduce herself and get our drink orders. She asked if we'd been there before, so I said that I had, but my grandfather hadn't. So she starts telling him about how they bake their rolls fresh, cut their own beef, and make their sauces and stuff right there. Once again, I wasn't really paying attention. Neither was he. He looks up, looks at her, looks at me and goes "What'd she just say?" And I was like, Oy. So then she takes our drink order. And asks if there's anything else she can get us right now. This is where it gets awkward. My grandfather responds with, "Yeah, your phone number." I swear to God, my jaw dropped. Literally. She was quite polite and said that she wasn't allowed to give that out. He said she was missing out. The rest of lunch was fine. My steak and salad were delicious.

Then we needed to stop at Stop & Shop so he could pick up some milk and sort out some problem with a check. I went and got the milk while he did the sorting out. Then we went to his building and ended up in an elevator of crazy people. They were talking about this man, I won't say his name, who smelled really bad. They were saying he was so fat and that's why he smelled. So the guy who started the conversation about the fat, smelly man got off the elevator. And a lady says, "What was he saying about John Doe?" And my grandfather says "That he stinks to high heaven." And this is my favorite part, she yells really loudly "THAT'S BECAUSE HE'S SO GODDAMN FAT!!" And then she apologized for swearing and got off the elevator. My grandfather then told me it's like that all the time.

Well, then I left and as I'm driving home, I took my shortcut to avoid lights. And so I'm sitting at a red light and there's a guy in a van behind me. So I'm taking a right and watching the cars coming to see if I can go. I watch the lights change and I can clearly see that I have a green now and the other cars have a red light. However, I can also see a car coming rather fast that doesn't look like it's going to stop. So I wait a second. Literally, a second. And sure enough the car doesn't stop. The van behind me though must have wanted me to just crash into the oncoming car because he was beeping at me. And I was just like, Sorry I don't feel like crashing my car today. Thanks.

And that's all. I'm thinking of getting a webcam so I can do Talky Blogs (to steal a term from Ross 'the Intern' Mathews). Well, I hope you keep checking back and leave me comments. Talk to you later, bloggers.

Check back later today or tomorrow, I'm gonna put up some pictures from my Canobie Lake trip on Thursday.
