my phone rings and i'm greeted with chuckles...
me: 'why?'
friend: 'i'm at a blackout sale...'
me: 'what do you mean? they have no power?'
friend: 'they have! i'm at <mall>... they just call it a blackout sale...'
me: 'oh... haha... sorry... sometimes i'm dim... anyway, why were you laughing?'
it turns out he sent me pics of him trying on stuff and he wanted my opinion on them...
he called me laughing i'm not sure whether because
- he thought i was going to laugh at his pics so he jumped the gun on me
or
- he found himself laughable on hindsight...
whichever... it's always good to be able to laugh at yourself... when people laugh at your expense, then lighten the joke by cashing in yourself... ;"p

group of students trying to synchronize the greeting they're capturing on video...
student 1: '1, 2, 3... go!'
student 2: 'it should be up to 4...'
think different... ; )

hands off
at a convenience store... i was getting a bun from the hotdog steamer with tongs and the bun broke... the crew helped me get another one but when she pried the bun open to put in the hotdog, her thumb pressed on the bread...
me: 'oh, you touched the bread!'
crew: 'my hands are clean!'
me: 'even then... replace the bread, please...'
she did... but she wasn't happy about it...
i dunno whether i was asking too much... but i've gotten bread and hotdog there numerous times and it never occurred to me to do it with my bare hands.... i'm the one who's going to eat yet i've always used the tongs... even when already eating, i try to keep the food within the wrapper... i won't mind though if i get to touch MY food... but if it's someone else, unless it's hand-pulled noodles, i'd rather not see their finger on my pie...
cue MC hammer...
"... can't touch this!"

on queue at the cashier...
lady pointing to my bread: 'how much is that?'
me: 'aw... i don't know...'
lady: 'you should know what you're buying...'
me: 'haha... yeah... but this is just bread... it's 50% off [their breads go half-price at 9 p.m.]... it expires in 4 days... i'm sure it's a good buy...'
i don't need to know everything...
