Gray Matters by Stuart Carlson and Jerry Resler for December 24, 2020

It happened to all of us — in the naughts!

I’ve been caught in that type of situation.

Somewhat like the good looking woman enthusiastically waving at me. I didn’t think she looked familiar, but thought she may have been a former patient of mine. So I smiled and waved back. She came straight toward me and I was getting ready to say something when she walked right past to join up with a guy that was behind me.

I hate when that happens.

Typical that it’s the idiot talk loud on his blue tooth that is offended.

People you’d love to smack with a 2 by 4.

Actually happened to me in the men’s room. I walked in and I heard a guy sitting in a stall say: “Hey! How you doing?” As I was pondering whether to respond, he started talking and I figured it out…luckily!

When ear devices were very new for phone calls, I was having my nails done by a man who appeared to be trying to have a conversation with me, partly in English and partly in a language I certainly don’t know. I tried a few times to answer him, but eventually he very rudely told me he was trying to have a personal conversation! Oh, pardon me! I was trying to get my nails done by someone who was focused on his work – which, of course, I didn’t say. I was more fascinated by his new phone toy.

Then go do it in private, butthole.
