Random Fandom / Serious WTFs

[themostepotente]

I should have some recs in the next couple of days (very possibly tomorrow), and then I am going deep undercover to finish a short Draco ficlet and my hd_holidays's fic as it still needs much work.

[Random Fandom]

A very pleasant start to a grey Tuesday morning. I was nominated for a MoME Award for my Kirk/McCoy fic By Way of the Heart and the Stars.

I was feeling a little fandom bluesy writing-wise, so this was an unexpected pick-me-up. Yay!

[Serious WTFs]

A big truck was blocking my way the other day, and when I finally got around past it, I couldn't help but notice the logo on the side of the truck.

HEELS ON WHEELS

Apparently, they deliver shoes. So, the basic message I'm getting is that a.) women are shoewhores b.) women are lazy shoewhores. WTF!

And then, and then...

I went to Wal Mart to exchange some AAA batteries for AA, and the returns clerk looked at me and said, "Don't you have any toys you could use these for?"

AND THEN SHE FUCKING WINKED AT ME! ARGH!

OMG, I could be mistaken, but I really do not need people implying my toys *cough* need battery maintenance. Rarely am I rendered gobsmacked, but that did it. OMG, SERIOUS WTFery!

Have a WTF story to share? Love to hear 'em!

That reminds me of a story my high school French teacher told us. Apparently, it's like acceptable for European men to touch womens' breasts if they fancy a squeeze. Happened to one of her students on a class trip to France. Personally, I would have walloped the dude upside the head with a baguette :P

What did you say to this chick?

LOL! European men are such perves.

I don't actually remember what I said to her. I think I just sort of laughed nervously and stood there like an idiot. XD
