The Blank Stare....

The chic made it to the session with the teen girls, and she actually enjoyed it. She says that she would like to come back next week. She has a long way to go to broaden that narrow mind of hers, but I see a little progress...


The blank stare is my thing. It has so many uses in my life. But for the most part, I use it when people say or do stupid s***! I don't say anything...I just sit there with a lost look on my face because words could not express what is going through my head at that moment. To me it's hilarious because people have no clue of what I'm thinking and they keep trying to explain further, to see if the look will go away. Or they just look at my life I'm crazy, and I burst into a fit of laughter. It's versatile. It can mean anything from huh to shut the h*ll up!

The latest instances of the blank stare...

I was at the health food store and I asked the lady working behind the counter if they sell honey that was made locally. ( My mother taught me the trick a long time ago. If you use honey that was made in your area, it decreases your chance of experiencing the symptoms...watery eyes, runny nose, itchy throat...It really works!) So when I ask her she says," I'm sorry, we only have honey that was made in Dallas, we don't have any local honey." (Insert blank stare)

My man and I went to a local seafood restaurant and since space is limited the parking there is "valet only". We get out of the car and my man hands the valet the keys and the valet says , "would you like me to park your car sir?" (Insert blank stare)

I was at the mall shopping for my god-daughter and the lady working in the store asks if I need any help. I tell her no, and continue perusing the store. She then makes a comment, "you don't like you just had an infant." I say, "I didn't." Then she says, "then why are you buying baby clothes." (Insert blank stare...as I turn to walk out the store.)

I was at church and the lady next to me comments on my outfit. Being that I was in my zone, I thanked her, and continued with my praise. She keeps talking...(Insert blank stare)

I had to go into the office yesterday, and one of the ladies in the office was trying to fill me in on the latest gossip. (Insert blank stare) I could care less what happens there.

I was at the grocery store paying for my things and the cashier gives me a sly grin as he is ringing them up. Then he starts with the small talk. What's a pretty lady like you doing in the grocery store? I didn't get it. Are ugly people the only people that get hungry. (Insert blank stare)

Diva invited me out to lunch and he says, after we finished our meal. Girl, I forgot to tell you, I'm broke as a joke today. Can you get this one? (Insert blank stare)

A lady is in the line at the store in front of me. She has four small kids and she is counting change to pay for her food. She looked tired and worn. After she has emptied her purse and pockets, she realized that she doesn't have enough to pay for the few things, and she starts picking things to put back. The gum popping cashier is annoyed and she was being so rude to the lady. When I finally realize what is going, I gave the lady the money she needed to pay for her things. After the cashier rings up my things she says. "There are just not enough nice people in this world." (Insert blank stare)

While I was walking out the store, I notice that the lady and her four kids are walking towards the bus stop at the end of the parking lot. I normally park far away from the store and other cars so that I won't return to my car and have a dented surprise. I notice a fast food joint next to the bus stop. I drive up to the lady and tell her to meet me inside. I told her and her kids to get whatever they wanted, and paid for the food and left. She sat at the table with her grocery bags and kids in tow, and cried as she thanked me for helping them. To this day, I don't know her name, but I'm glad that I could make her and her kids happy, if only for a moment.

What is your thing? What do you do that annoys people or makes them laugh?
