TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I feel like a dick making a correction like this, but I've seen it a few times on this board: To elude is to avoid capture. To allude is to suggest, or hint at. Sorry to be that guy, and you seem like a really nice person. I hope I didn't offend you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Logan Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Omg I just watched a movie a few months back where Haley Joel Osment played a gay guy who wore short shorts, cowboy boots, and guy liner. I still think I'm emotionally traumatized from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laralaurent Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I once had a professor correct me in email on something I can't even remember. Real nitpick. But in the process he misspelled my name and it took everything in me not to correct him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maneatingcow Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I love the awkwardness of being me. Even when I try and follow what I assume is correct social protocol I manage to make a mess of it. I frequent Noodles and Co for lunch once or twice a week so I've gotten to know the employees. Once of the girls hasn't been there for a few months and was there today so attempting polite small talk I ask her where she's been lately. She says she got pregnant and had to move so she had to have them switch her shift. I assumed correct social protocol was to say congratulations, so I do that and she gets pissed. She proceeds to tell me that she got and abortion and had to move because she broke up with her boyfriend and that it was really shitty of me to say congratulations when shes going through all this. So yeah thats the last time I say congratulations when someone tells me about their pregnancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Logan Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 How were you supposed to know that was the situation, I would have sad something similar. I'm sorry that happened :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 same thing happened to a girl I went to high school with, I saw her a few years after schol and she had gained a substantial amount of weight. I had heard she was pregnant, and we had a pretty good friendship (in school), so I asked her about it and congratulated her. turned out she was pregnant a year before that but lost it. the weight wasn't baby weight or anything. last time I ever commented on anyone's pregnancy or lack-thereof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 You should have! People always misspell or mispronounce my name and I always let it slide. How? Seems like a pretty hard name to mispronounce. Do they pronouce it "depp-er" instead of "deep-er" or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Pregnancy is touchy but with the Noodles & Co. gal she created an awkward situation by bringing up a pregnancy that she didn't really want to discuss. There is always a follow up to news so monumental. It's unfortunate but the lame moment was created by her lack of a follow up when she revealed this news. I wouldn't feel bad one bit. A few months back an Aunt called and left a message for my wife. She saw a photo and congratulated her on being pregnant. Not only was she not pregnant but we've struggled in our attempts to become pregnant again. That bit of unsolicited cheer is what I call awkward. I had to call her and explain that she wasn't carrying and that the message was not well received though we know she loves us and had nothing but good intentions. All cool.

Princess Logan Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 You wouldn't think people could get my name wrong. But they do. As if being a female named Logan Taylor wasn't hard enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHOSTDRONES Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I have watched someone congratulate another person on their pregnancy and as a retort the woman cried and walked away. Turned out she just had put on a ton of weight quickly due to depression. That was rough to witness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futures Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I already went to the post office, and I am going to Staples in about an hour. Stop trying to copy my day! Look at us!! I spent $80 of the company's money and it felt awesome. updates: -my roommate has noro virus, I’m terrified. -my mom told me to stay away from her! will listen to my mom. -I have a phone interview tomorrow at 10am, which I am hoping to be in full health for. -pregnant facebook girl alluded to the fact that they’re getting engaged soon, winking smiley face was included. -I feel queasy You only feel queasy because you're overthinking your roomie being sick! ~~~posi vibes to feel better~~~ & GL on the interview tomorrow! so...this just weirded me out. I saw a thing on Tumblr where it's him next to a photo of Al Borland from Home Improvement. Uncanny. Also when I was at college Al Borland was there with his son on a school tour. We were all like "Is it him?? Is it?" and when he walked past us he smiled and gave us that reassuring nod as if he was saying "I do think so, ladies."

Princess Logan Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I've also been asked if I was pregnant before, due to an unflattering dress that I was forced to wear. Terribly uncomfortable, it upset me slightly especially because I do struggle with that stuff...but now I just think it's funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
