Short Stories

I went to the French restaurant "Le Bistro Du Coin" last week. The food was great, but the seats and tables were too close to each other and the place was really crowded.
A woman who was sitting behind me tapped me on my shoulder. I turned to her, we talked for a few seconds, and I turned back to my table embarrassed. Everyone at my table were staring at me waiting for me to tell them what the woman said. I said smiling," she said that my hair was bothering her."

What did she expect me to do? Cut it? At least there were no candles in the restaurant.

My husband an I were driving the other day in downtown DC and when we stopped at a red light, I noticed that a pedestrian didn’t notice the walk signal had changed.. He was too busy playing with his IPod or phone. I know that feeling of waiting forever till the lights turns. I wanted to be nice and help him, so I rolled the windows down and yelled to him," IT’S WHITE! IT’S WHITE”. My husband looked at me like I was crazy. Just then I noticed the guy was black. What an idiot!!!

I took a picture of this mannequin the other day at the mall.
Are they trying to say that with these pants you can squat over a Tunisian toilet?


This needs no comment.

I went to the bank to close an account and the teller kept asking me questions before proceeding with my request.

"Why do you want to close to your account?"

“Where is your new account?”

"What does that other bank offer you that we don’t?"

"Do you know our benefits?"

"Do you have a business"?

Aaaaaaaaah.They almost guilted me into staying. I almost felt like I should have been apologizing to them for even considering leaving.

I spent a whole day with my mom’s friend, her granddaughter and my husband in the living room talking and playing with the kid. Everything was neat and clean and I almost had forgotten how kids manage to make a mess. This girl tore everything apart and asked me a million questions. I had so much fun with her and she made me laugh a lot. She disappeared in the closet for about 20 minutes and all we could hear was shuffling noises. She was trying on on all my shoes.I kept the place as she left it for 3 days to remember her. I miss her and I wish she lived nearby so I could babysit her.
