    I have a funny story about my mom, well it isnt really funny i walked away lol. My mom was getting a drink at a cart at Disneyland and she put her purse on the cart and must have looked for change for like 5 minutes. I was watching how long it was taking her and i was dying lol. I felt bad for the cast member wondering why this lady isnt leaving. She does all kinds of embarassing things at DL that drive me nuts.

We rejoiced on the day she agreed to use a debit card (with rewards) :)

    I don't understand why people tailgate in the "slow" lane on the freeway. Seriously, how am I supposed to get out of your way while you zig zag lane switch? Drivers like that puzzle me.

That usually gets them to go bother someone else!

    Ok, i dont get why a guy would have to carry a huge wizard stick on the bus? it was like the guy wanted to be gandolf or something lol.

    "^^I understand! When my mom was still shopping she insisted on writing checks at the grocery store even though she could barely see."

    I guess it really makes you laugh afterwards.

    But a party pie is basic kids party food and for some unknown reason people down here call it a nibble pie.. It's just noticeable as most Aussies tend to talk exactly the same, you can't normally tell someone's from out of state by their accent or words!

    I don't get low-effort thinking.
