When I open the freezer and something falls on my foot. And sure enough there’s always someone that has to say “Did it hurt?” It was a frozen item, do you think it hurt?

About twenty years ago my mother was in our small, local supermarket and this happened. It was about a week after Thanksgiving, so there were all these leftover, frozen turkeys piled in the bottom of the upright freezer cases. She opened one of the glass doors to get something out and a frozen turkey fell out and broke her big toe. From the way my mom tells the story, she was hopping around saying words no well-mannered Southern woman normally uses in public, and the manager/co-owner came running to her aid. "What can I do? Do you need me to call an ambulance?" he was firing questions at her in a panic, so she told him to shut up! She needed to sit down, so he got a rolling desk chair out of the office and sat her down. She said he was in a panic and she was in pain, but the way he was acting irritated her---he was likely afraid she was going to sue. But this was a small town, and self-respect wins out over greed every time. She had known the manager since he was a child and this was the only grocery store within a half-hour's drive. If she had sued him, she said she would never be able to show her face in that grocery store again, and she wasn't about to drive 30 minutes every time she needed a loaf of bread. So she had him pay her medical bills and they called it even.
And from that day forward, we refer to this as The Day That Frozen Turkey Attacked Mama In the IGA. We've never had turkey for Thanksgiving again, either.

When I'm talking about Dallas and someone blatantly says to my face, with no embarrassment or shame 'Oh no I'm Dynasty and The Colbys' and then seriously expects me to look at (never mind talk to them) in the same way again. I can't do it. It's over. It's dirty.

I'm convinced the people at Martha Stewart don't kitchen-test their recipes. I'm a pretty good cook and baker yet the three times I've followed Martha Stewart recipes, the food did not turn out right. Tonight is was mac & cheese, how do you screw that up? The recipe either called for too little flour or too much milk but the cheese sauce was nowhere near thick enough.

I prefer my cheese sauce runny. Same with custard. If it's too thick it makes me gag.
That's sounds like a scene from They're Playing Our Song.

That's a common complaint that my mother has with our Wal-Mart Supercenter in Simpsonville-- they make her run around a lot to find stuff that before she had no trouble finding (and just when she gets used to it, they change it again).
And BTW, another one of my own-- when DVD reviews of certain series seem to be written such that a certain show or season(s) of that show are deemed stupid, asinine, or any of those words thereto, full stop. I mean, think about it-- some people don't care all that much, for instance, for the last two gos on Miami Vice (1987-89), and they're welcome to be of that opinion if they didn't care for them, but the way the DVD reviews/other reviews are written, they seem to think that no one should be able to enjoy them, or even try to!
If that be the case, then why was Vice (or why were other shows some don't really care for) even made in the first place when it was/they were originally made? The reason I say that is because I'm literal-minded, being autistic, and reading things like that really brings that question up in my mind quite a bit.

The world would be a much better place if more people would simply recognize that not all movies, TV, music, etc. is geared to them, or made to appeal to them. Rather than declare "Oh, that was terrible," they could simply recognize "That wasn't made for me." I recognize that things are being produced to appeal to a different demographic, a different culture, or different age group, and to make quality judgments on such things is wrong since....I'm not the target audience. It's very self-centered for someone to decide that just because *I* don't like something, then no one else would like it, either and such things should never be made.

It’s so sad that some people are like this. I notice it a lot with music. I don’t judge anyone by what they listen to even if it’s something I don’t care for but I notice I’ll catch a lot of flack for what I enjoy from those very same people. Very immature.

One of my favorite local radio stations is gleefully advertising that they're switching to 24/7 Christmas music this Friday, a week earlier than last year due to "public demand". A station I don't listen to as much has already done the switch. They're both talking about it as "the annual tradition". Well, I also have an annual tradition---it's called the Ceremonial Changing of the Pre-Set Buttons.
It's the same thirteen songs over and over.

Can’t we just slow down a little? It seems like we go right from Halloween to Christmas. And over here we celebrate Thanksgiving, which is in 18 days and you really don’t hear much about it, which I think is sad. It’s my favorite holiday.

Yeah, make it "loud and proud" like Biden did to Camilla. Don't strike a match, Duchess!
