We Need You to Leave

Her car is still running, believe it or not! She went to Aircare on Saturday to get her car tested. If she doesn’t pass, then she can’t insure the car. Her mechanics have assured her that they will make it pass no matter what!

So she is in the line up with about one car in front of her before it is her turn, when a man comes out of the testing bay and makes his way towards her car. She rolls down her window and the man says to her, “Could you please leave?”

“I’m sorry, what?”
“We need you to leave.”
“Why??”
“Your car is blowing so much blue smoke that we won’t be able to test it.”
“…Can’t you just test it so that I know what my emissions are?”
“No, we need you to leave.” And he hands her a pamphlet on what to do if your car is blowing blue smoke.

They wouldn’t even take her money and test it knowing full well it would fail! I mean, that is EMBARRASSING. What the hell? I don’t think I’d be able to wake up in the morning if this was my life, man.

Also, a few weekends ago we were at B’s place enjoying a social get together and we ended up watching gross videos on YouTube. Births, pimple popping, pus draining, etc. Let it be known that M has somewhat of an acne problem and she has an aversion to popping her zits. This is a personal choice, I suppose, but most people have found that if you don’t pop a zit, it stays there for a very long time as your body then has to REOBSORB the pus back into your face. So most people pop them. Not M! She leaves them alone – days and days they stay there. It looks like if she flexed her cheek they’d all pop-pop like bubble wrap (bubble wrap filled with cream cheese!). BUT don’t worry – this is going somewhere. The day after we watched all those youtube videos of people pimple popping (sounds like a sweet movie – purple people eaters, people pimple poppers) M came out the next day with a FRESH PUS-LESS FACE!!! I guess she used the videos as inspiration.

Unfortunately, all the zits are back now. In full force. Maybe it’s like if you shave, it comes back twice as thick? Who knows.
