But... the rest of the quote is men are from Mars, that means no one is a local except for @spikey582 and the other lizard people

 

Spikey and the Lizard People is a sixties psychedelic band 

OMG I totally have to look them up now.  That's an awesome name for a band

And now for some ranting... taking up two parking spots right next to the cart return makes you a douche.  Not looking when crossing aisles and giving the person who has the right of way a dirty look also makes you a douche.   

Some bad drivers?

Hi, B!  (Do I call you that? People call you different things and I don't know you very well...)

B is our resident Tea Bat  

 

You'd think in today's society women would be on a more level playing field.  We're getting there, but there's still plenty of misogyny out there.  When I worked retail about 17 years ago, I actually had someone ask to speak to a man because they refused to deal with women.  This was on the phone... so I got one of our Spanish speaking workers and explained what happened and he happily talked to him.  In Spanish.

I'm certain there's a correlation between navigating with grocery carts and driving ability.  😛

Hi Thorn, you can call me B

 

It's certainly better than what @Valkyrie calls me if I steal her cheesecake

What's your average annual snowfall?

No idea... Can't seem to find the info anywhere either. Not as much as you'd think, least not in Oslo. You get up in the mountains and up north there's a lot, though.

I believe the technical term is 'parking/driving like an asshole.'

I’m imagining you with a clipboard, taking details and making notes for the next scientific paper from Professor Val

  And if you are going to take up two spots, at least do it in the back of the parking lot, not the front where spots are at a premium.  But it still makes you a douche and also makes it more likely for someone to target your precious dick-mobile.

I had a dude in my art therapy group who refused to see a female therapist. I kind of get it, people can have preferences like that, but his reasoning was absurd as I recall. Can't remember exactly what it was, but he was generally an idiot anyway. We were talking about about body image, and he was all, 'Well, I think you're really pretty.' Not the point, dude, it's not about what you think, it's about how I feel. 

 

I was accused of being a misandrist a while back for pointing out that there were a lot of cis-dudes commenting negatively on an issue people with vaginas face. I told him that me hating men would be weird, since I'm trans-masculine. He told me there was nothing masculine about me and to act like a man if I wanted to be a man. So I told him that if acting like a man meant acting like a dick, I know very few men.

 Me too.  And I'm pretty sure the person sitting in the overcompensation-mobile saw what I called her, since I was looking right at them when I said it.  #sorrynotsorry

As have I, but I believe it may get picked up by the profanity filter...

You might wonder why I got out the Kings Cake because inside it has a plastic baby bake in it. Who ever gets it has to buy the next piece
