Random Thoughts by “Aunt Emily”
My sister, Emily, cracks me up with her random thoughts. She sent me some to share, so, here they are! Just a little insight into my little sis!
Why would a freezer pack have the words “DO NOT MICROWAVE” on it?
Why is a twin mattress the smallest? I would think twins would need more room than a king or a queen any day.
Why aren’t all nail polishes “chip free?” Do some people like the chips?
Why doesn’t my insurance cover nitrous oxide at the dentist, but they’ll gladly let me take a valium and drive myself home (I didn’t drive myself, btw)?
Why do they sell deodorants without antiperspirant? So smelling good with wet soggy armpits is an option. Gross.
If my company claims to be paperless, why do we require everything be mailed on paper and returned in writing?
Why do dogs heart worm pills come with the OPTIONAL flea/tick repellant? No, I don’t want my dog to die of heart worms, but if he gets Lyme disease, it’s okay?
How do I end up with fur/fuzzies on me after I’ve used the extra sticky lint/pet hair remover in the garage and gotten in a vehicle no animal has even been in?
Why are bra sizes measured the same as batteries? The higher the letter, the bigger the cup size and the bigger the boob; and the higher the letter, the bigger the battery. (Even true of the ‘AA’ versus ‘AAA’ with the opposites?)
If smokers get three to five 15 minute breaks a day, why don’t non-smokers get 2 hour lunches or get to leave early?
Why do men’s underwear and pants come in the same size measurements, but women’s are all different. Size 6 jeans are NOT the same as size 6 panties.
What are your “random” thoughts that you’ve pondered that don’t have an answer?
“If smokers get three to five 15 minute breaks a day, why don’t non-smokers get 2 hour lunches or get to leave early?” I have thought this on more than one occasion!!
Working in a restaurant is the worst. I used to always claim I was taking second hand smoke breaks…gross, right?
here here on all the thoughts. I agree with you on the smoker thing also. Our buidling is small though so they just step out the front door. Issue is when they get a phone call we have to go out and get them.
There should be a 30 foot policy for people smoking outside of doors. I shouldn’t have to walk through smoke to get into or out of a building.
Too funny! To the deodorant pondering though, it’s because antiperspirants have aluminum in them which can be toxic overtime. So a lot of people want just deodorant with no antiperspirant and thus no aluminum. It can be hard to find a good one though – you know what works shocking well? Baking soda.
I can speak for both her and myself..girl, we’ve got to have the anitperspirant…she and I sweat so bad we can’t wear certain shirts…even in the winter. Like we want botox in our pitts! Talk about toxic.
If you’re curious: http://1greengeneration.elementsintime.com/?p=596 She recommends mixing it with a bit of corn starch if the baking soda on it’s own is too strong.
I read in the comments that lemon juice can help with the sweating…hummm might have to give that a try.
Totally agree about the smokers…its just awful. Mine is…why make color bubbles if you tell us to wash clothes after use. They make washable markers why not bubbles?
That’s a toughie..we’ve never tried the colored bubbles!
Why is toothpaste labeled anti-cavity? Isn’t that the point of brushing our teeth, so we don’t get cavities? Who would buy a pro-cavity toothpaste?
I would call pro-cavity toothpaste candy….yum…candy….
Oh the smoking breaks one really burns me up! (pun intended!!) ;D But it REALLY does actually. And I agree with the underwear/pants size thing. What is UP with that?
If we could only get the clothing manufacturers on board.
When I waited tables, I made it clear that I was allowed as many non-smoke breaks as my smoking counterparts got.
Deodorants: I use a non-antiperspirant. The antiperspirant is an allergen for me.
I always tried to get breaks too when I waited tables…they didn’t care!
Both my sister and I are sweat machines…we ideally want botox in our pits, it only it wasn’t so disgusting of an idea!
Ha! These are great and have left me with one questions.. is Aunt Emily on Twitter? If not she should be and thing I should converse with her about my love of random things by answering her random with my random in big ‘ole random love fest. 🙂
Y’all would totally get along. I think she set up a twitter account, but I don’t think she uses it or even knows how. Sad, right?
LOL. LOVE it! 🙂
I’ve asked myself many of the same things. Seinfeld made a very good living standing up in front of a lot of people asking the very same type of questions. 😉
Hmmm..I might have to tell her she could be rich:)
I work with Emily, and she is an absolute riot to work with! Her randomness is what gets me thru the day sometimes! Thanks for sharing your Sis!
Anytime…she is pretty dang funny!
aunt emily is brilliant.
sisters are all sorts of awesome.
