Are people really this stupid....

As most of you know I went to Key West last week for my birthday and had a wonderful vacation.  Now you also must know that Key West is known for its strong and thriving gay community (fun clubs baby).  Anyway, one of the days we were there we had torrential downpours.  Enough so that the streets were flooded with some nasty stuff (Key West sewage has no where to go people).  On this day we braved the rains and drank in a bar all day.  I discovered later that I had a cut on my foot and had been walking through the rain water (and other stuff) with an open wound.  It is fine but I have been laughing about my gangrene because of the nastiness of the water....

Here is the stupid part...I mentioned this to one of the teachers at work and she literally told me that I needed to go have an HIV test.  Because of all those gays (her words) in Key West, was I not worried about what they were doing on the street (really) and with an open wound I could get anything.  Are you kidding me?  First of all, the only people I saw having sex or anything else on the street were straight and gross (I mean fat and happy people) and did she naturally assume that all gays have HIV (because of course they do) and if they did why would they not release all bodily fluids on the street? 

I was just flabbergasted that this woman had these thoughts in her head.  It is no longer the 80's and I assumed that most people were better informed and more careful and not so stereotypical.  I honestly laughed at her and let her know that I was not concerned and then mentioned the gay bar that we went in to have a drink. 

So funny....

Kasey Kahl, of bachelorette infamy, was arrested for drunk and disorderly on Sunday (early morning).  This boy was happy in his mug shot.

I guess he knows that his shield tattoo will "guard and protect" him if he goes to jail. 

Moody, Moody

I have been in a proverbial bad mood lately.  I apologize if I have been a bit snarky but I think I just have the blues a little.  As I was trying to snap out of my mood the other day I ran in to an old acquaintance and she looked at me and said, "How are you?  You look tired."  Code for "You look like shit" as most of you know.  Well this just threw me in a tailspin and started trying to come up with other phrases that stupid people say that will put you over the edge.  I came up with a few...

"You look healthy"  code for "You look like you have gained weight or you look fat"

"That outfit is so interesting"  code for "That outfit is weird as shit and I cannot believe you wore it out of the house"

"Did you get those shoes on sale?"  code for "There is no way in hell that you could have paid full price for those."

"I am just being honest."  code for "I can say something bitchy and use honesty as my excuse."

These are just a few that I came up with.  One of my Twitter friends said that she was asked "when are you due?" and she was not pregnant (ouch!).  Do you have a phrase that just makes you want to slap someone?  Share please....
