2 annoying things

I had two annoying things happen to me today. I share them here in hopes that someone may stumble upon this blog and learn to never do either of these things.

1. A "friend" (let's call him "Tyler") didn't want to loan his own Flip HD video camera to a group of high school students (I'm sure he came up with some lame excuse), so he tells them that I have one and gives them my number! So I get a call from a high school student that I have met a couple of times, but don't really know very well, and he asked to borrow it for a week! And part of the time he wanted to take it with a group of buddies to the Smoky Mtns. Ummm, no. I ended up letting them use it for a couple of days, and I'm just hoping these jokers are responsible. But, in the end, I can't be mad at Tyler, because I have done the same thing many times! Karma.

2. I was at the orthodontist with my daughter this afternoon, and this lady in the waiting room received a call. Now, proper ettiquette in this situation would be to either receive the call quietly and say, "Hey, I'm at the Dr's office, can I call you back?" or walk outside and have your conversation. But this lady must have missed that day's lesson at "How Not To Be An Idiot School." This lady proceeded to receive the call and talk VERY loudly, annoying the other 6 of us waiting for our kids. We each looked at each other rolling our eyes, and huffing loudly hoping that she might get the hint. Finally, I went over and grabbed her cell phone out of her hand and told the lady that she was being rude and inconsiderate. Ok, that last sentence isn't true, but I thought about it.

Have you ever done any of these things? Come on, admit it. We are all friends here.
