Ok, I have to share this stupid co-worker story because it's really funny to me:
I'm standing in the kitchen here at work getting water, while my co-worker is making coffee. She's from Staten Island and used to work in Manhattan, and she thinks Manhattan is like the end-all, be-all of creation (it's funny that people from manhattan think people from SI are total garbagemen, but if she deludes herself into thinking otherwise, whatever).
So I comment to her that the coffee smells really good, then mention that the only coffee I have lately is espresso with Donovan on Sunday mornings. She proceeds to tell me about 'this fantastic thing her friend found for her in Manhattan, it's so amazing! It's called a "French Press" for making espresso... have you ever heard of it? They have such amazing things in Manhattan! I've never seen that kind of stuff here!'
I said, "Yeah, a French press is from France. They sell them in supermarkets everywhere."
snob
Haha - I'm sure my in-laws agree with you. We had dinner with them a few weeks ago, and my father-in-law said something about how the restaurant has a great brunch buffet: 'They have a tuna spread for bagels AND prime rib!' he exclaimed. I couldn't help but say "Blech" right after he said that. Then I ranted about how prime rib is a crappy cut of meat, I don't know why people think it's so great, blah, blah, blah.
y'know, i've heard it's the best or whatever, but i hate prime rib. tuna spread? oh, heck no.
Filet mignon is the best. Ask your butcher as he wipes blood off his knife.
mmm, butchers
Haha that's funny! And ignore 5-0 (:P), if she thinks Manhattan is the only place such clever things exist..has she ever heard of velcro?
am i a worse person for lovingly letting people languish in their happy ignorance bubbles, lol? i do it all the time. i feel like i'm surrounded by ignorant people sometimes, but i'm not handing out reality checks 24/7. it doesn't bring me pleasure to shoot everyone down all the time. let 'em be happy in their little fantasy land.
I'm not ignorant of the fact that I'm a food snob...
i just ate kashi...
hahaha - what?
vive, probiotic digestive wellness cereal from kashi. tell me what you think. lol
hahahaha! what a retard
'tis true, Staten Italy is a dump
LOL i would've said, "well i have this friend named juan valdez that makes coffee too and he's colombian...OMG. great things come out of colombia" HAHAHAHAHA
aww.. this is so sad and funny at the same time. She lives in Pennsylvania now? Yeah. I'm kind of like this, not as bad, but.. like.. living down on the jersey shore.. I tend to sometimes say crap like "well in New York.. blah blah"
Philly doesn't compare
I love Manhattan
The funny part is that she thought something with the word "French" in the name was from NYC. She's a bit of a space cadet.
yeah exactly, like they only sell those in manhattan? lol
