Griswold -> Humans (1/25/2008 7:39:21 AM)
The human race never ceases to amaze me. I’m staying in a 3 story hotel. I’m on the second floor. I get in the elevator, a woman gets in beside me, I push one of the buttons, the elevator begins to move in a decidedly “not UPWARDLY movement”. The elevator stops moving, and being the gentleman my Momma taught me to be, I wait until the woman opts to leave the elevator. She doesn’t move. I look at her as if to say “you first”. She says (I ain’t making this up)…”oh…is this 1?

"i left my brainnnn.....on the second floor" (sung to the tune of "i left my heart in san francisco") PM

Cut the woman a little slack would ya? Maybe she’s got she’s got something on her mind (e.g. family problems) that has her distracted. We all have our dumbass moments, it’s what makes us so lovably human.

ThinkingKitten -> RE: Humans (1/25/2008 6:07:28 PM)
And what if there are a couple of underground parking levels below you huh? Or a basement? Nope. I'm not blonde. Hey - maybe she liked the look of you and it was an attempt to strike up a conversation, and being blown away by your handsome good looks and air of devastating charm, she blew it with the first stupid thing that entered her head. Did you ever consider that?

CuriousLord -> RE: Humans (1/25/2008 6:18:45 PM)
Man, I've walked to the wrong building about two times today when between destinations. And that isn't very unusual for me. Oh, and I had to return to my room about three times in a row (within about fives minutes) this morning after I woke up, constantly forgetting little things I needed. Oh, and if you asked me, I couldn't tell you all of the classes I'm taking this semester off the top of my head. PS- I've had the same roommate since the start of last semester. I don't know his name. (Yes, the first name. But I also don't know any of his other names.)

(that is meant in the most fun way of jesting CuriousLord.)

CuriousLord -> RE: Humans (1/25/2008 6:31:28 PM)
Yeah.. I wonder a lot if I'm clogging my memory with too much other stuff, or if it's all the sleep deprivation, or if my memory is actually just that bad.

Did you ever consider that? No garage...no basement...however, your second point is valid. That must be what happened.

We all have our dumbass moments, it’s what makes us so lovably human. Indeed we do. Reminds me of a flight I had from Seattle to San Diego a few years back (for those of you not familiar with the cities on the West Coast....that's a straight line flight, right down the coast....about the same as flying from NYC to Orlando). We landed, and the girl next to me looked at me (she lived in Seattle) with a completely straight face and asked me..."do you happen to know the time difference here?" (I told her we lost 3 weeks on this flight).

Not long back I spent round twenty minutes wandering the streets of Manchester looking for... the nearest London Underground station.

seeksfemslave -> RE: Humans (1/26/2008 2:00:30 AM)
In a 3 storey building you shouldn't have been using the lift (elevator) anyway. Excercise and good health and all that. You never said anything about luggage so dont fib. and mention it now!

Had you flown that distance directly east from Seattle you would be in Montana and the Mountain time zone. thompson

CalifChick -> RE: Humans (1/26/2008 7:16:59 PM)
OMG Seriously. If she didn't know that ALL of California is in the same time zone as she lived in, do you SERIOUSLY think that she knew that San Diego was 300 miles east of Seattle??? Cali Magellan
