When my co-workers and I go out to lunch, there is always someone who brings food from home. So there have been a couple of times when the person feels too shy about bringing her food in the restaurant, and we start giving her a hard time. My lines? “This is a free country!” or “We will be paying for food, what’s a seat?” or “Don’t be silly, you can bring your food inside, and if they tell you something we’ll give them crap.”

Well, this past weekend John and I were going to see a movie with a couple of friends, but we stopped to grab something to eat first. He wanted Panda Express, and I wanted nothing to do with MSG’s. So Wendy’s Drive-Thru it was from me, and then John stopped for his Chinese, but he wanted to go in. I started fussing and saying I felt bad about bringing Wendy’s into Panda Express, and he gave me exactly the same lines I give my co-worker. I brought my Wendy’s bag in, and sat in a corner where nobody could see us… ha ha ha!

Obviously I’m not the only person who worries about not eating food from a restaurant when taking their space. But now I’m curious about what people think about it. Am I being stupid? Yeah… Ermmm… Whatevs.

I will never understand why we get a new phone book every other month. The last two we’ve gotten have gone directly in the trash because (GASPS!) I can’t recycle them. But really, who needs a new phone book every other month in the era of 411.com, Google Maps, GPS and all that?

I don’t need a different phone book for the county, city, metropolitan area, etc… WTF is with that? In Colombia your phone book is updated ever year, if you’re lucky to get one. There is only one company taking care of it, and sometimes you are the one who has to call them to get it. Here? They bombard you with a gazillion different kinds, and we personally use NONE.

Oh well… Another one to the trash can.
